    I booked this hotel because it had pictures of a hot tub/spa and said they had one at the property but that is a lie it’s only for the penthouse room. Super lame.

    The room was an odd shape that went downwards but was cool- photos from a different hotel are posted please ignore those

    Sound proofing - heard some "noises" quite late at night probably the customer forgot to close the windows 😆. Also can hear heavy footsteps people walking occasionally from above.

    Beautiful hotel with up-to-date facilities although no breakfast. Everything you need is in there. Very modern and nicely decorated. Lobby a little dark as first impression due to black paint but it gives a romantic vibe. Location near Seoul edu university, cafes and restaurants. Around 5-10mins walk to nearest metro nambu bus terminal. Free system based parking.

    Took like an hour to figure out how to connect to the bluetooth speaker system, and it was very humid inside when we first checked in so had to blast the air conditioning and open all the windows to air it out while we went for dinner.

    The private pool, sauna were great and bed was super comfortable!

    Noise isolation was not ideal as we could hear our neighbors or people leaving in the morning or arriving late at night. While hotel is designed and decorated as a boutique hotel, carpets and lift wall textiles are old, scratched or dirty (stains are clearly visible). It is really a pity that they don’t put effort in changing this as it influences how you see the property overall and takes away all the good points mentioned before

    Location next to subway (orange line connected to all key historical & sightseeing sites of Seoul), big comfy beds and a very nice bathroom. Staff was really helpful and friendly.

    Very dark lobby didn't feel welcoming, there were broken lights too in our rooms and alleyway the day we checked in, which made for an uncomfortable start. It is a boutique hotel but the design is probably from the late 90s or early 00s, fairly dated lifts, wardrobe and fixtures around the room. Our superior double had no proper daylight in, so it can be claustrophobic for some, a proper window with daylight would've made the room in more positive order. The property is also a distant cab ride (approx 30-45 mins) to the districts north of the Han River (MyeongDong, HongDae, Itaewon etc), so that is a factor for guests to consider. Taxis were fine for us but for those intending the use of subways the location could be slightly afar.

    Quirky property, the beds were comfy and the shower pressure is top notch. Location is relatively central in Gangnam, we taxied around to the main shopping areas in the district, around 10 - 20 mins ride depending on location. There are numerous eateries located in and around 10 minutes walk from the property. Depending on preference of guests, the location could be ideal or otherwise.

    Overpriced but comfy boutique in Gangnam

    honestly the staff seemed pretty perfunctory and not uber eager to help or welcome. We were initially excited about the prospect of the different types of suites as we had booked three rooms, but ended up all having the same room. Bathrooms need a bit of facelift. We attempted to make reservations for breakfast on arrival and were told they were fully booked for three days. When we asked for restaurant recommendations, we were basically told to just look on the street (which we did and it worked out fine, it was not super helpful advice). While the cleanliness and location were overall sufficient, the property is overpriced for what they offer.

    This is a nice little boutique style hotel in Gangnam. Easy to access the metro and buslines from Nambu station. Rooms were adequate. We had requested rooms near each other as we were travelling as a family, but were all on a separate floors. USB ports in the room did not work. My youngest child and I had bites after sleeping in the bed - but we were the only ones out of our group of 6.

    The room did not have much natural light as the window was too closely facing the next building's wall and not any outside view. This is just a minor disadvantage as the weather in Seoul was hot, cloudy, rainy and windy for any sunshine or air to come in from the window anyway.

    The room was very spacious and kept very clean during my whole stay. The location was very good and close to the attractions I came for. The staff was extremely helpful and catered to my needs at all times.

    The bathroom is slippery when wet.

    The location is just a stone throw from the subway. There are lots of cafes and restaurants in the area, together with some minimarts and pharmacy etc. The hotel is very "boutique" and we loved it. The room is comfortable and quiet. The small details make the room fun to come back to. The staff tried their best to communicate and help. Overall a very lovely stay.

    There is not a proper place to store our luggage when we arrived too early for check in. We were told to just leave our luggage at one corner of the lobby.

    The location is close to Nambu bus station. We had to catch an intercity bus from there.

    Additional communication is needed concerning the very high quality breakfast option. This is a very positive feature and some guests miss it because it is not adequately communicated. This can be easily fixed.

    The central Gangnam location is surrounded with interesting shopping and varied restaurants. Several high quality cultural venues are within a comfortable walking distance. Seoul National University of Education is very close as is the metro station. The breakfast is certainly a "do it" feature.

    The thermostat was broken. When changing the temperature, it did not go down. Initially, turning off the lights did not work, but that was fixed fast.

    Maintenance was fast. The room design was innovative. Parking was easy.
