Experience of the stay
The reason I chose this hotel was that it had a campaign going on, it was a new hotel, and it was close to the concert venue, which was the purpose of my trip.
While it didn’t have the fluffy quality of a luxury hotel, the sheets and towels were clean, and the amenities were more than sufficient. The room was large enough for solo travelers to open up their suitcase without inconvenience.
I was also reassured as there were staff who spoke Japanese at the front desk.
Experiences during the trip
The Gangnam area is a quiet neighborhood without the usual hustle and bustle. Conversely, there aren’t many dining options near the hotel, and there are not many convenience stores or cafes, so you might feel inconvenient if you don't take care of things at the station first. The streets felt a bit lonely at night after the concert. The road to the nearest station has a gentle slope, which is manageable when pulling a suitcase on the frozen sidewalks in winter.
If you're traveling by airport railway, it's quick and convenient to use the express line of subway line 9 with just one transfer, making it a good option for a tight schedule.
