Hotel Entra Gangnam
4.1/5110 Reviews
Gangnam Apgujeong/Cheongdam-Dong
I stayed here for 8 days. The reception staff were helpful and polite when we checked in, the lift's very fast. The room appeared clean and had good amenities, 2 bottles of water in the fridge, coffee machine, large bed, we loved the TV above the bath, kido loved the heated toilet. It looks clean, clean bed sheets, then I slide the bathroom door closed and it's pretty dusty. No problem, I grab a tissue and wipe it down, I have a dust allergy. We lost something in between getting out of the cab and sitting down in the room so I try to find it, I look under the bed, it's really dusty and also has rubbish from previous occupants. We could hear the traffic outside but it's a busy road and it's understandable, we didn't find it annoying. There are strict check in and check out times and they won't charge you extra if you stick to these, they need time to clean the room and get it ready (they do need to slide the bathroom doors and clean these though, and under the beds too). I had a shower the next day, the waterfall shower's not easy to use and there's no instructions, but there's a handheld shower head attached to the wall. Great, I thought, that will help, It would have helped, but there's no seal around the bottom of the shower door and there's a gap, and the shower head faced the shower door. 30 minutes later I magage to clean the large amount of water in the bathroom and around the toilet up using towels, and I pop downstairs to let them know there's a problem with their shower. They sent someone up right away, I explained the issue, the shower door is missing a seal, he says 'I can't sort that' and walks out. No more showers then. We get back from a walk at around 8pm, and there's a very high pitched whistle coming from the ceiling in our room. I check the lights, the air conditioning and it whistles for about 30 minutes so I pop to the reception desk and let them know. Someone comes up right away and lets us know it's a valve in the bathroom ceiling, there's a hatch, he opens it up, and it stops. Yay! 5 minutes later... yup, it's back. He comes back and adjusts the valve once again. It stops. 5 minutes later... yup. Then it stops. Until the following evening. I let reception know it's still happening, they send someone out, again, it stops, again, and starts, again a few minutes later. It stops and starts throughout the night, midnight, 1am, 4am, 9am. We're tired, I'm rather grumpy, so we ask to change rooms so we can sleep. They check with the manager and give us another room. The new room has a seal at the bottom of the shower, unfortunately their water fall shower lasts for 1 second if you try to use it as the handle on the door self adjusts. There's still dust on the sliding doors and under the bed. We're exhausted having had a pretty bad night due to the alarm, so we sleep, a lot. We didn't eat in the hotel, it's expensive, there's a little French baguette place not too far away and a Starbucks so we're sorted. The Nespresso only ha
L7 Gangnam
4.4/578 Reviews
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.
Shilla Stay Samsung
4.2/5263 Reviews
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.
Hotel Uri&
4.2/5275 Reviews
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.
Grammos Hotel
4.3/565 Reviews
Coming from Japan where the hotel rooms are tiny, the room in Grammos was really huge! Very clean and large shower. A very basic breakfast, maybe because there were few guests in the hotel, but two very kind Korean ladies prepared the special sandwich in the menu for me. Their kindness was enough to not miss too much my usual morning fruits...coffee and tea downstairs in the lobby near reception is a nice attention to the guests who can have a business meeting there. There is a parking, which is great if you have to come by car in Gangnam area.
Hotel Samjung
4.2/5410 Reviews
There are very few such big rooms at the same price in Seoul. The guys at the front desk are very enthusiastic. There are windows, the bed is very clean, and the room is also very clean. I will come again next time. It is very close to shopping places in Gangnam~
