Great Location for Metro, Shops and Restaurants
Pros:

It was close proximity (within 2 minutes) to metro/subway. Lots of modern shops, cafes and restaurants. Had a young vibe since it was close to the university.
Breakfast was included with a nice selection for all ethnic groups. Rooms were decent size with comfortable bedding.

Cons:

Nothing

Not for light sleepers
Pros:

Amazing location in Hondae, everything you could wsnt is close by

Cons:

The hotel is located on top of a metro station. The whole day except for 00:30 and maybe 5:30 you hear the metro arriving and departing when you lay your head down on your pillow. Also the outside windows are not very well insulated, if there is like a concert on the street elow, you hear absplutely everything. If you are a light sleeper, do not stay here.

Fantastic location.
Pros:

This is the perfect location. Next to the railway station, close to all the restaurants, bars and shops, and right next to a beautiful "forest rail trail" This is an oasis in amongst the buildings and fast pace of Seoul. Cannot fault the location and facilities
Definitely recommend

Cons:

Everything was great.

非常糟糕、完全不推薦
Pros:

1.離地鐵站、Arex近

Cons:

1. 半年前訂購要雙床房，check-in時告知只能雙人床房型，給了一張窄到不行的移動式單人床，是在怎樣。
2. lobby人員嘻笑玩樂，客人我以爲他是在發瘋有病，一點專業素質都無。
3. 床非常硬，完全無法翻身。更不用提枕頭。
4. 早餐無變化，雖然是含餐的，非常難吃。
5. IHG集團有這種等級的住宿真是他們集團之恥。
6. 一晚平均NTD5000, 客房馬桶還不是自動型。
7. 祝早日倒閉。

Pros:

在地鐵五號出口旁邊超級方便
飯店一直都有人，房間乾淨很新也很安靜，沒有牙膏牙刷睡衣要記得自己帶
已韓國房間大小來說已經算蠻大的人了
就算帶兩個大的行李箱應該都還綽綽有餘
有全身鏡
浴室的門和淋浴區的門是一門二用的
只能選擇關廁所或者是淋浴區
不知道怎麼調冷氣半夜都有點被熱醒
工作人員態度很好英文也很好入住非常方便
