Wow, the rooms were surprisingly large! We managed to fit all our luggage, shopping bags, and still move around easily. The South-facing window provided a quiet ambiance, but the space could be a bit bigger.

The hotel rooms were rather old and small with outdated decor, but they were spacious enough to accommodate our luggage and shopping bags. The service was friendly and professional, offering complimentary printouts. The location was convenient, near Gangnam but quiet, though more appealing to locals than tourists. The dining experience was unique and expensive. The facilities were adequate but could be improved.

The hotel provided a comfortable and clean stay, although the room was a bit too hot and lacked temperature control. The service was friendly but with some inefficiencies. The location was convenient for an exhibition center visit but not ideal for exploring as a tourist. The dining experience was expensive and below the standard for a 5-star hotel.

The hotel had a rustic feel to it and heated up to an uncomfortable level but was over 24 degrees, making the rooms a bit stuffy. The service was very polite and hospitable, with attentive staff that even translated destinations into Korean for us. The location was right near Gangnam but not in it, offering some quiet, however, it was far from the subway. The dining experience could be much better in terms of variety and freshness compared to other 5-star hotels, but it did offer a separated check-in/out desk and lounge in the suite. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel offers a great city view from the rooms, which are comfortable despite the old decor. The service was cute and generous, but there were some issues with handling a taxi situation. The location is safe with many dining options, but it's a bit far from the subway. The dining experience was suitable for business trips, especially in the suite with a separate check-in/out desk and lounge. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were great with a very nice city view, cozy, and quiet. However, it felt a bit old and could use some updating. The staff was amazing, understanding English and being really friendly and generous. The location was very convenient with plenty of food options nearby, although a bit far from other tourist spots. The dining experience was excellent but could have had more variety. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay with some minor areas for improvement.

The hotel offers a great city view with comfortable rooms, although they could use a renovation and tended to feel stuffy at times. The lack of control over room temperature was a minor inconvenience. The service was excellent with English-speaking staff who were attentive and helpful, even going the extra mile to assist with Korean translations. The location was safe with plenty of food options nearby, though it leaned towards the business side of Seoul, and it was convenient for reaching the exhibition center. The dining experience, while suitable for business trips, was deemed overpriced for the quality provided. The facilities were satisfactory, adding to the overall experience.

The hotel had a rustic feel to it and was continually over 24 degrees with no ability to adjust the temperature. The staff was very attentive and helpful, even providing complimentary printouts. The location is more appealing to the Korean crowd, with many close food options and cafes. The dining experience was ok but way lower standard compared with other 5-star hotels. The facilities are suitable for a business trip.

The hotel was extremely spacious, allowing us to comfortably fit all our luggage and shopping bags, but the room temperature was uncomfortably warm, reaching 29C. The service was quick and friendly, especially at the club lounge desk, offering me generous assistance. The location, though not in the heart of Gangnam, provided a quiet atmosphere close to essential business areas. The dining experience was superb compared to other 5-star hotels, offering amazing dishes like fish and chips. The hotel facilities were well-maintained with great amenities.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a king bed and beautifully carved chairs, but unfortunately, they were not big enough and the temperature was continuously over 24 degrees without any way to adjust it. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very attentive to our needs, even going as far as translating destinations into Korean for us. The location was excellent, in Gangnam, with great service and close to the subway, although it could use updating. The dining experience was just okay and seemed overpriced for the quality. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel offered some great amenities and facilities.
