The hotel is not as advertised online. The pool is not provided unless you rent the suite. The jacuzzi tubs in the rooms do not work, nor does the tv. The rooms were dusty and not really clean. The towels provided were dingy & dirty. The only thing that was good was the night staff was helpful.

This hotel is located at prime hangout spot in JamSil. Bus Stop and Metro is 5 minutes walking distance and there are airport bus stop close by. If you get dropped off at 잠실새내station, hotel is two blocks away. Staff are friendly but English is not well understood. Towels are very worn out but cleaner than most hotel in US. It was a shame there is no laundry machine on premises. And Sky lounge is closed. I would definitely come back again.

The property was generally satisfactory, and the reception staff were helpful. Also, the room was fairly large, which was nice. However, there were no laundry facilities, which were advertised. Additionally, my soap was thrown out during cleaning, which isn’t a big deal, but was irritating. Overall, the experience was fairly good.

Clean and spacious, shower/tub needed work
Check in was a bit strange. It was 'self-checkin.' Basically you used a kiosk, but a person spoke to you watching you from a camera. We initially came early to drop our bags and they just had us leave them with a few others in a completely unattended lobby. Felt a little sketchy. When came back for checkin time, we used the kiosk again and it gave us a key. There was someone at reception, but we didn't really interact with them. For checkout, we clicked a button by the light panel and left our key in a 'drop bucket.' Fairly good size room with large bathroom (we had booked a standard double room). Bed sheets comfortable. Room was clean. Seemed fairly updated. Tile in bathroom. Room had tea kettle with instant coffee and tea. Room lights were only controlled by panel by front door, which wasn't convenient. There was a motion sensor light by the front door, which I assume was to make it easier to see the panel in the dark, however it randomly came on a few times for no reason in the middle of the night. The bathroom had a jet tub, but our jets didn't work.If you used it as a full standing shower the bathroom floor would become soaked. The water also wasn't very hot. I only used the hot water and had it turned all the way up. Very close to resturants, the Olympic park and public transportation close PROS: Clean, decent size, large bathroom, comfortable bed, close to public transportation, mostly self check-in CONS: jet-tub broken, panel for all lights controlled by 1 system

Very spacious and comfortable sleep
Very spacious and relatively clean. Sometimes you can hear water running from adjacent room but barely bothered. Bed is comfortable and clean. I found some hair on the floor and smelled old mobs smell in the washroom floor mildly. After cleaning by myself, smells gone. Lots of restaurants nearby you can choose any kind. Walking friendly and easy access to subway. Definitely recommend it to my friends and will stay again. One thing they don't have slippers for indoor.

I was sous vide
The room was big and spacious. However, the biggest downfall for our stay was the broken climate control within the room. The boiler/heater was broken and locked at an uncomfortable 26 degrees. As stated in the amenities and available within the room is an airconditioning unit. However, we were not provided with the remote upon checking in and was told over the course of our stay that the system was broken and they could not fix either of the temperature control units.
