Cheap good clean Hotel
Is a very good clean hotel for the price, gives you 2 water bottles every day, and the room is clean every day not like in the us that the hotels clean the rooms every 3 to 5 days, near to the place I visit every year.

Hotel window was the major issue.
I had to switch room because the existing window cannot be opened. In the changed room, window can be opened but it is not big enough and not facing the outside view. There is no sun light coming to the room meaning I had to turn on the light both day and night.

Convenient that’s it…
It was very close to subway station so it was nice. Other than that, not much to mention… small, stuffy, not very good environment for kids… I thought. For business people, it would be ok. Very spacious bathroom… dunno why. I only stayed for two nights so I guess it was ok. I would not take my kids there again though.

Is this a "love Hotel"? No view. No closet. No microwave. A huge tub that 2 people could easily recline in. No CNN. No BBC. No news at all. Must be a love hotel.
No Curtain. Huge Tub for Two.

Close to food and shopping but the hotel rooms are a little run down and the beds a little too hard for my comfort. I guess that's what you get for a cheaper priced hotel. The staff were helpful when needed, and understood English.

Review of Hotel Gangnam Star
Room is pretty bad condition, foul smell and power socket doesnt work. For 2 days, no make up on the room is done, had to manually ask for shampoo and soap. Lived for 3 nights, all the 3 nights couldnt sleep well because aircon is making so much noise. Wouldnt go back to the same hotel if I had a choice

Big, decent room
The shower was broken, so we couldn't put the removable showerhead on the wall, and the water was not particularly hot for one of the days. But in general it was a nice, comfortable, big room for a low price. With the window closed, the room stays nice and dark so it's good for sleeping in. The location is perfect for going anywhere in Gangnam.

Good enough
Was okay but way too hot even if we set the temperature down. The towels smelled strongly of bleach also. Other than that it was decent for its price in comparison to surrounding accommodation

Convenient, no fuss
It was easy to find and so close to the subway entrance. Checked in quickly. The staff was professional and kind. Not sure how much English they spoke. We kept it simple and to the point. Room was nice and clean with a nice sized tub with jets and s separate rain shower. I loved that the bathroom is private from the rest of the room. The beds were firm, which is better for my back. Easy to connect WiFi, mini fridge. All standard and acceptable. Easy to find plugs.
