Must stay here in Itaewon!
Pros:

The property was in the perfect location and was easy to find. The lobby was always clean and we were greeted by staff warmly. My room was always clean and they were kind enough to lend a fan or adapter as needed.

Cons:

I would have liked a few more options for eating, especially for the morning when hardly anything around opens before 11am.

Stay here!
Pros:

Loved the location - it was near the train stations, awesome niche shopping and night life is near to enjoy but far away so it doesn't interfere with sleeping.

Cons:

To be honest, nothing to note.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff, decently priced.
Pros:

Nice new hotel, it was clean and the staff was very kind. Nice location as well.

Cons:

Room was quite small, but I've noticed that that's not uncommon in South Korea. No place to hang your towel and the room was too small to leave your suitcase open (you had to pack everyday to be able to walk in the room).
