The hotel has a prime location in the vibrant Itaewon area, making it ideal for those who want to explore the nightlife and meet fellow travelers. While the rooms are spacious, they lacked some basic amenities typically found in suites, which was disappointing. Noise levels can be quite high due to nearby clubs and traffic, which detracts from the overall experience. The value for money is mixed, as some aspects felt overpriced for what was offered.

I booked the Gold Suite, and while it was huge, it was missing some amenities like bathrobes and had a tiny shower room. The room was clean but came with significant noise from the street and nearby clubs.

Upon arrival, the staff changed my room to a higher floor, which helped reduce some noise. However, I did encounter some issues with housekeeping, such as limited service for restocking items.

I found the dining options to be quite limited and lacking in variety, which was disappointing given the location. Even though I didn't have breakfast included, nearby eateries offered better options.

This boutique hotel offers a fun and funky vibe with a unique decor that feels artsy and modern. The spacious and clean rooms add to the experience, although some designs might be a bit unconventional if you're sharing rooms. The convenient location near tourist hotspots and helpful staff truly enhances the stay, but some minor cleanliness issues and the need for a more robust emergency preparedness plan are points to consider.

The hotel boasts an excellent location right in the heart of Itaewon, surrounded by a variety of restaurants and close to transportation options. The rooms are modern and comfortable, although some maintenance issues like worn carpets can be improved. While the dining experience offers a decent breakfast, it does lack variety, and the noise from the nearby clubs and construction severely impacted my stay. Overall, it has great potential but there are significant areas that need attention.

The hotel is situated in the vibrant Itaewon district, making it perfect for discovering various dining and nightlife options. The rooms are decent but starting to show their age, and noise can be an issue on weekends. Overall, it's a good place if you enjoy being in the heart of the action, but a quieter stay might require some planning.

The rooms are getting a little outdated, yet they're still decently managed. I found the space to be on the smaller side, which is standard in Korea, but overall fairly clean.

I had a great stay in a modern hotel located right in the heart of Itaewon, which is a vibrant area with plenty of shopping and nightlife. The rooms were spacious and clean, although I did find some aspects of the decor quite unusual with all the mirrors. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially when compared to nearby options. Overall, the atmosphere was lively, and I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff, though my experience was slightly marred by noise from a construction site nearby.
