Hoehyeon-dong Holidays from AU$1,293

great location, polite staff, speak good english. simple rooms.

This property was a mixed experience. It was clean and had new or stylish features, but it also badly needed a fresh coat of paint. It's vibe, which is really nice if you're into it, is of a dark jazz club --nicely unique. The staff were pleasant and the manager was very helpful in resolving a room issue at check-in. Since I have sensitivities to odors/perfumes as well as to molds, it's an issue I wish I'd known before I booked a room here. Either the cleaners they use, or the building itself, had a fairly strong, peculiar odor to it. It didn't bother my husband, it did bother me. The suite I initially booked is located in the basement, and that quickly had me feeling nauseous. The manager quickly and graciously switched us to a very nice room on the upper floors. The smells were less (not absent) and I could open the window for fresh air so I felt better enough to stay. The breakfast was convenient, but not tasty. The location is great, including close to the subway station. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The property is somewhat quirky, but not all in bad ways; in fact, has some bit of charm.

Perfect price - quality.

Nice hotel, dinning seemed difficult as restaurant closed at 18:00 and room service. Room was very spacious, however there was no work desk.

Gangnam Artnouveau is a older property and while it has a retro feel probably needs a bit of a face lift. But it was clean and convenient. The kitchen needed a new more dishes and utensils but we ate out mostly so not a great issue. The area was so convenient to the station and shops. Just a word of warning there are 2 hotels with the same name with a kilometre or so of each other so really easy to get the wrong one.
