Intentionally decided for Mapo instead of Gangnam, cos Mapo literally between Gimpo/Incheon and the center of Seoul. Easy to reach, the underground mall below Lotte Mapo is a big extra. Room and service were perfect

This was my first time staying in a hotel in Seoul and I had a lovely experience. The staff was all so nice and especially the cleaning ladies! The hotel is in a great location and located right on top of one of the subway entrances/exits which was perfect for bopping around the city. Would recommend this hotel to others!

Booked the room for the pool. 3 days before arriving received an email stating that booking received after 6/1 will need to pay $15 USD/ day for pool use. If i knew this ahead of time i would have booked elsewhere. Hotel is not conveniently located so long commute is needed daily.
