Air conditioning, 24-hour front desk, laundry, and concierge services help enhance guest comfort.

The soundproofing wasn't great, but there was a guy at the front desk (an 'oppa' as we say in Korean) who was exceptionally good. He always handled our requests perfectly, and his English was excellent, making communication completely seamless.

Hygiene: Breakfast was just okay, and the cleanliness wasn't up to par.
12.01.2026 stefanie_xue
The front desk staff were incredibly unprofessional. I extended my stay through Ctrip, and due to work, I returned to the hotel at 8 AM. I specifically told the front desk not to clean my room. I went to bed at 9 AM, only to be woken up at 11:30 AM by a call telling me to check out. I explained that I had a new reservation and had already paid, but the male front desk staff member was very rude, repeatedly saying, 'I don't know, come to reception.' I asked to speak to someone else, and he again replied, 'I don't know, just come.' It was utterly speechless. Around 2 PM, housekeeping rang my doorbell asking if I needed cleaning. So, my message to the front desk in the morning about not cleaning my room was clearly not communicated at all.

Even on the day of check-in, we were given a dirty room. When we went upstairs, we found the room door wide open and the room hadn't even been cleaned. I can't understand how a hotel in the Jiangnan region could be so bad.

For such a large hotel, there's no laundry room. I asked the front desk where there was a self-service laundry nearby, and the answer was always 'I don't know.' I easily found one myself online. The front desk staff clearly have no knowledge of facilities around the hotel.

In summary, my experience was very bad. I do not recommend this hotel and will not stay here again.

The transportation around here is very convenient, and there are many great food options nearby, with a good local vibe. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit.

Close to many restaurants and hospitals
29.12.2025 Shasha-startys
This is my second stay at this hotel, and the location is absolutely fantastic. The subway entrance is right outside, and cafes, bakeries, and various Korean restaurants are all just a few minutes' walk away. You can even walk to the Gangnam shopping district.
29.12.2025 Guest
It's quite convenient having a front desk that speaks Chinese. The environment and facilities are pretty good; not brand new, but very clean. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, and a subway station is just a two-minute walk away, making getting around quite easy.
30.11.2025 Praphon
The location is very convenient, just a short walk from the subway, although you do have to walk up a slope to reach the hotel.

The room itself is okey compare to the price. The bathroom has a bathtub with a shower in the bathtub but no curtain, so water easily splashes out and the floor gets wet after taking a shower, which is quite inconvenient.

Breakfast is very basic with limited choices, but the rate is only around 1x,xxz won, I think it’s acceptable. If youneed sth delicious, pls find others. The staff are quick check in and check out. There is also a cafe under the hotel that’s open 24 hours, so it’s easy to grab something to eat or drink anytime.

Overall, for this price range, the hotel is acceptable mainly because of its location and service. However, the bathroom design and small room size might be a downside for some guests.
24.10.2025 Guest
The hotel was very nice. It had the usual amenities and the room was bigger than many of the other rooms in Gangnam. The tub could have used a shower curtain, but it was still a great hotel.
10.08.2025 Ruffs
Conveniently located next to the metro station, hotel staff were friendly and helpful and able to speak in English and mandarin. Rooms were too small though not ideal for more than one guest
12.07.2025 Vinidiktova
The location is great, right next to the metro station. Airport limousine bus also stops right in front of it. There is a bunch of wonderful places around. I had an issue with the room, but the front desk manager helped me change it quickly and without any questions. The bathroom was big and spacious, but it was very weird to take a shower in the bathtub without a curtain, as the water got everywhere and the floor constantly stayed damp.There are a bunch of wonderful places around.
05.03.2021 Justin
Great location. Whole building is non smoking. But keep in mind that only 5 or 6 rooms are designer room. Other standard rooms are not. Some faucets were broken. It felt like I was in a remodeled motel not hotel.

Highly recommend this lovely tacos!
So tasty and their nice services!!
(Also you can order vegan style if you request!)
19.09.2016 Natalie
Took the vegetable burrito, vegan style. The beans were undercooked and dry but otherwise it was a good burrito. But would probably not go back for that item. However my friend took the chimichangas and they looked great:)
16.09.2016 Jose
I was craving tacos and found this place. Glad I did. The al pastor tacos reminded me home! And I am from Southern California and Mexican.
07.07.2016 Anchit
Small place with good food though a little overpriced for such a small joint
04.07.2015 Tela
Small restaurant with great food. I ordered the regular beef taco and cheese quesadillas, not only was it super delicious but different from what I was use to. Service was quick. I also appreciated they had Sam Adams as well. I give it 4 stars, I had wish I was told beforehand what all comes in the quesadillas. Spent some time removing unwanted ingredients. Still good though.
