The hotel is conveniently located near Gangnam Station and Eonju metro station, offering easy access to the vibrant Gangnam area. The rooms are well-equipped, albeit a bit aged, with good Wi-Fi and both bathtubs and showers available. The service provided was exceptional, making up for any initial issues, and the dining experience features seasonal local products. However, the location was just average with limited seating in some areas.

The hotel rooms, although a bit aged, are well-equipped with good Wi-Fi, sufficient parking, and bathtubs plus showers. They are tidy and look exactly as shown in the official pictures, but the smell of smoke and air freshener was a bit nauseating at times. The service was very nice and helpful, with a friendly and engaging staff, though English fluency was not perfect. The location is convenient, with easy access to the metro and popular shopping areas in Gangnam. The dining options were continental but adequate, considering the good bathroom amenities provided. The facilities were well-maintained with living room, big beds, 2 toilets, and a jacuzzi. May lack some modern amenities.
