Hotel The Designers LYJ Gangnam Premier, Seoul

+super close to all the fun stuff and train station +Nice, clean bathroom +Overall room + bedsheets + towels were clean +Basic hygienic amenities provided +tall ceilings -walls had a lot of scratches, -room temp could not be controlled. Our room was always at 35 Celsius.; we either needed to open the window or turn on the A/C in this winter time :p

The hotel room was very dirty. Not very comfortable. Staff were not very accommodating.

Cool and modern hotel. Great area for food and drinks. Price is a little on the high side. I

Construction was still on-going on the spa on the 13th floor where our room was located. There was no warning from the staff. When the elevator doors opened we literally were faced with bare cinderblock walls and bags of contruction materials that we had to walk by to get to our room. At first we thought it was the wrong floor. We stayed one Saturday night and construction workers started working Sunday morning. Upon entering the room, we discovered that the bath towels in were wet. This was apparently from the shower overspray in the Wet bath style bathroom while being cleaned? Also, the room safe was nowhere to be found when the guest book said every room has one. Otherwise the room was nice and modern/chic and the location mere steps from Gangnam shopping, restaurants, train station (신논현역) and nightlife is great. The staff was friendly upon dealing with them and provided an umbrella and luggage storage upon request. I would stay again once they complete construction and work out any issues with the room amenities

Good location, near subway station and bus stops, a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, convenience stores around. The hotel was nice and clean. My only problem is that you can hear the noise from the streets. The bed was also too firm for my taste but I think this is a Korean thing. Every hotel in South Korea we've stayed in had the same firm beds.
