"This was a clean and convenient hotel. For Westerners it has some quirks with room controls, lighting, lack of privacy in the bathroom, and hard beds."
"Great stay at the Glad Mapo hotel in Seoul. Hotel is ideally located, right next to Gongdoek station which made travelling around Seoul very easy. Room was perfect with walk in shower and plenty of space. Breakfast was good especially the Asian selection. Highly recommend a stay here, very reasonable and also easy getting to airport, local stopping train taking about an hour directly from Gongdoek station."
"Beautiful hotel located along the Han River. We loved the facilities, the comfortable room, and the convenient location. It’s directly connected to a shopping mall, a department store, and an amusement park, and it’s across from Seoul Tower.
The room was well equipped with a bidet, mini fridge, and high-quality toiletries. The staff was exceptionally kind—they let us borrow a plug adapter, as well as an iron and ironing board. Whenever we needed anything, room service was incredibly fast.
The staff was consistently friendly, helpful, and genuinely happy to assist, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again."
"Beautiful hotel. Beautiful room. Incredible pool area (but unfortunately, it’s an extra fee which they don’t tell you until you see it on your bill - I didn’t like that. The breakfast buffet was wonderful."
