Risk check

Old-hotel risks to check harder around Gangnam and COEX

  • Business hotels can age unevenly, so compare room-condition photos rather than relying on the lobby.
  • Residence-style stays may be better for longer trips, but confirm kitchen, laundry, and cleaning details.
  • Gangnam distances can feel longer than they look, so check subway exits, hills, and taxi return routes.
  • Premium-looking rooms can still vary by room type, so confirm the exact room attached to the price.

Booking checklist

Before booking a newer Gangnam or COEX hotel

  • Match the stay to your actual route: COEX, Samseong, Seolleung, Yeoksam, clinics, or nightlife.
  • Check whether the room is a suite, residence hotel, or compact business room.
  • Compare current room photos, bathroom layout, desk setup, and elevator access.
  • Confirm final price, cancellation, early arrival, and late check-in support.
