InterContinental Seoul COEX, an IHG Hotel
4.6/5268 Reviews

InterContinental Seoul COEX, an IHG Hotel

Seoul|0.09km from COEX Aquarium
Intercontinental Seoul COEX Conveniently located in COEX mall, tons of food and shopping available here. Booked a king classic room with lounge access to celebrate wedding anniversary. Received complimentary red wine. Room is well maintained but design looks tired and dated. Luckily the club lounge is exceptional. Afternoon tea is served from 3pm to 5pm. Evening canapés from 5.30pm to 8pm. Food quality is good and staffs are friendly. I would strongly recommend to get room with lounge benefits else the dated room design doesn't justify its price tag.

Convenient location at Coex, nicely arranged apartments with a super cosy bed. Attentive staff, really good coffee at the cafe downstairs. Restaurants and convenience stores in basements. Good gym and pool. Would come back anytime.
Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas, an IHG Hotel

Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas, an IHG Hotel

Seoul|0.52km from COEX Aquarium
The room is very nice and the location is very convenient. It is next to the shopping mall, but it is closed on Mondays. The hotel is very new and the lobby service is quite friendly. I checked out at 11. In fact, the location in Jiangnan may not be good for tourists. It’s so convenient. It’s still a long way to go to Hongdae or Myeongdong by taxi. I stayed at the AC Marriott in South Korea for the first three nights. The room was not big. In comparison, the InterContinental seems to be quite cost-effective. The laundry and care are provided by Byredo, and there are also some in the surrounding area. There are a lot of delicious food. I like the color of the bathroom very much. It is big and bright. If you put on makeup, it will not be too thick. Hahahaha. Next time I come again, I will stay two nights in Gangnam and three nights near Hongdae~

Seoul|0.72km from COEX Aquarium
everything was close to perfect, except house keeping was extremely stingy with refilling our 1 quota per day le labo, i was only given two sets for a 4 night stay at their premium suite which i was told is their top tier category. concierge was amazingly helpful, thumbs up to Owen who went the extra mile to ensure our trip was filled with activities and restaurants we wanted to try.
Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam
4.7/5246 Reviews

Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam

Seoul|1.88km from COEX Aquarium
The bed is extremely comfortable, the carpet is soft and clean, and the bath water is very good. There is also a dry cleaning machine in the room, which will be washed automatically as soon as you put it in. The details of all the rooms in this hotel are very good; the service is also okay. No. 1 hotel among the hotels I have stayed in in Korea.
Imperial Palace Seoul Gangnam
4.1/542 Reviews

Imperial Palace Seoul Gangnam

Seoul|1.99km from COEX Aquarium
This time I went to a hotel for a business trip, and the location is still in Seoul, Gangnam. As soon as I entered the hall, I was amazed. Because it was near Christmas, the hall was beautifully decorated. The blingbling was full of lights. It felt like a avenue of stars. It was too beautiful! The waiter was very nice and handed in towels and water when checking in. However, because the room was too old, I had to spit it out. After looking for a long time in the whole room, I only found one power outlet, and there was no place for the computer to charge on the ground. Just renovate the room!

Hotel in 9 Gangnam

Seoul|0.3km from COEX Aquarium
I stayed here for 5 nights while sightseeing during a concert held at KSPO DOME. The location was great because it was close to the station, COEX, Olive Young, convenience stores, and Starbucks. The room was clean and I had a stress free stay. I'm Japanese, but the front desk used a translator and responded with body language, so I didn't have any problems. I would like to use it next time. It is a hotel that I would like to recommend to my friends. I appreciate the kindness of the staff.

Hotel Uri&

Seoul|0.48km from COEX Aquarium
The hotel is very nicely located next to the COEX mall so it is very convenient to get to the hotel from both Gimpo Airport (Metro line 9) and Incheon Airport (direct city bus 6301) with public transportation. The room was very cosy and comfortable. Unfortunately I found quite a few hair in all the bathroom (in the sink, the bath…) when I checked in. This is a big turn down for me. Besides that everything was clean. The little gym downstairs is quiet and nice to use (maybe it would be a good idea to provide a yoga mat in the gym). A big plus : there is a laundry machine downstairs that you can use. That was really helpful as I have been on the road for almost 2 weeks now.
Hotel Peyto Samseong
4.3/5182 Reviews

Hotel Peyto Samseong

Seoul|0.53km from COEX Aquarium
Location was really good - maybe a 5-7min (or less) walk to Samseong station (COEX) which is good for shopping, eating and also close to Gangnam area. Has a 7-11 and Macdonalds right next door too so it's extremely convenient to grab some snacks or late night food. Stayed alone for 2 nights and had no issue. Generally quite quiet. Room was very clean too, aircon was great and cleaning was good. Arrived about 2-3hrs before check in and was also allowed to check in early.

Glad Gangnam COEX Center

Seoul|0.73km from COEX Aquarium
Front office staffs were great, housekeeping not really attentive to stains on bedding. My duvet cover was dirty after the 1st night and housekeeping team did not change it for me when they made up the room. Front Desk said they do not have any housekeeping staff for the night and they can only get me a new duvet from elsewhere (maybe another room?) as I came back to the hotel late at night. Room size was just nice for 1-2 pax, not much food options around if you are a night owl.

Aloft Seoul Gangnam

Gangnam Apgujeong/Cheongdam-Dong Seoul|1.2km from COEX Aquarium
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and spoke very good English, which made everything very easy. I was just staying for the weekend for a concert and it was great for just an overnight stay getaway. This may just be a personal thing, but there were no USB ports only plug ports. I had forgotten one of my adapters at home thinking it should be fine, but actually need to go out and buy one, but there is plenty of cafés and convenient stores around the area and it was able to meet all my needs

Shilla Stay Samsung

Seoul|0.55km from COEX Aquarium
Location is good as it is very near Samseong Station, Exit 7. Also within 6-8mins walking distance to COEX Mall. Amenities - I have one star only because when we requested for extra pillows, they informed us that there isn’t any extra pillows available. This is the first time I have heard that extra pillows were not available. Pillows were also very soft and I had to fold in half in order to have some support. Cleanliness - 3 stars as the floor near the side table was rather dusty. As the floor is not carpeted, we could see the dust near the side tables.

Lavita Hotel

Lavita Hotel

Gangnam Apgujeong/Cheongdam-Dong Seoul|0.93km from COEX Aquarium
The room was still clean, and I couldn't flush the toilet paper, but I think it's still a good deal for this price in Gangnam. It was a short walk from the station, and although it was a little far away, there were several convenience stores. I was able to stay with peace of mind without worrying about the amenities. There was occasional noise from karaoke in the middle of the night, and there was a club behind the hotel, so I thought it was scary.
L7 Gangnam
4.4/585 Reviews

L7 Gangnam

Seoul|1.02km from COEX Aquarium
L7 Gangnam is a modern ”minimalist” business hotel part of the Lotte group. It's in the heart of Gangnam around 10min walk to COEX and opposite to the Seolleong ro-90 where the bars and restaurants are. Check-in was speedy - if you have bought breakfast then need to remember to collect the breakfast coupons. There is a mini vending station next to laundry and also a FX machines (passport required) which is useful. The breakfast selection is limited so you may want to explore other cafes around the corner (e.g. Levain Rules, Ronnefeldt, etc). The room is basic and functional. The view overlooking the Seolleong tomb/park is nice, especially if you've requested a high floor. Overall it's a good value for money and given the budget would definitely consider again. Pro Tip: though there is 7-11 in the basement and GS25 around the corner, the un-named 24hr convenience store at the back of the hotel has more fruits (e.g. grapes and oranges) than typical 7-11/CU/GS25.
Hotel Crescendo Seoul

Hotel Crescendo Seoul

Seoul|1.04km from COEX Aquarium
The location is very good and the interior is very cute. The hotel staff was very kind and spoke Japanese. The bathrobe was not made of towel fabric, but had a fur-like surface that touched the skin and was very warm. There is an SE type outlet and a place to plug in a USB outlet. The toilet and shower room are both very clean.
