I've been a regular at the other hotel in Yongsan district, but coming across this hotel that recently opened, I couldn't pass this chance of trying out.
Very convenient as being situated in front of the iPark mall with proximity to the public transportation - can't go wrong with the location, absolutely terrific.
Now, the accommodation is very clean as expected from the new infrastructure. Having said that, there were 2 things I noted:
1) Room cleaning service quality was unfortunately subpar. Initial impression was quite disappointing as I noticed couple of missed spots with previous guests' hair strands and used contact lens on the floor. New towels were also supplied with some hair follicles still onto it, I say hygiene was not impressive at all.
2) Elevator speed - very slow, it has 3 elevators which doesn't seem to be utilized all at once. Average wait time would be anywhere between 2 to 5 minutes. Worst waiting time recorded to be 7 minutes, so not sure why there would be such a long time.
Otherwise, staffs are friendly and the convenient store GS25 on basement floor showed versatility with comfort.
I am still pondering if I would use this hotel to the one I'm used to already, but as first impression it was okay except it needs significant improvement in elevator accessibility and also hygiene component. Other than that, thank you for accommodating my stay in Yongsan.
