Great staffs and comfortable bed
There is a bus from the airport that will stop directly in front of the hotel, very convenient. Staffs are very friendly and professional. Room is big, clean but a little old. Bed is very comfortable. I had a good sleep.

Gangnam district staff were doing very noisy landscaping work since very early in the morning and the hotel didn't do anything about it. I requested a partial refund to the hotel due to the inconvenience which they agreed to.
