Pro: Location was great for a first time visitor. Easy access on the airport line and in the heart of the Homgdae area for shopping, Korean BBQ and night life. Breakfast was better when expected. Con: room was small which would be ok if there were enough storage and outlets. No outlets in the bathroom to plug in a night light and the bathroom and shower doors were frosted glass so super bright when used in middle of the night. It was nice to have an individual ac unit but due to size of room and positioning of the ac, the air is blowing on you all night no matter how you try to position the flow. The room was clean but had a musty smell. We needed the socket that the air freshener was plugged into so didn’t use it but also the first time I’ve seen a plug in air freshener in hotel. The elevator was painfully slow.

Really nice inside. Location is convenient as it's right next to airport train stop. Room is small and price is expensive but I think it's a Seoul thing and not this hotel. There was barely room to get to the 2nd bed. If we weren't petite we would have had to crawl over the 1st bed to get to the 2nd one. Breakfast was decent. Good if it's free but not worth it if you need to pay extra.
