Banpo-dong Holidays

easy self check-in, room is clean and spacious, staffs are friendly

We got a corner room which was not convenient for unpacking given the layout, but not a big deal. It is a new hotel, you could smell fresh furniture. Shower pressure could’ve been better, but having a ramen station with a full kitchen was a highlight!

Location is the most...hotel room was okay , service okay .....no laundry service

Good unique hotel. Very odd room design. Bathroom entrance direct to the shower before toilet. Good area for dining, close to the lake and lotte world. Also close to the train station. Very odd that laundry is not 24 hours and only 1 machine. It’s slightly ruining over holiday plan. Overall 7/10

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.
