Comfy stay at this hotel for 2 nights. There is wifi in the room but not very strong connection. Location of hotel is not very good though as it is not near the heart of seoul. It takes about 20 mins to reach Dongdaemum at night when there's no traffic. More

The Riviera is located in an up-market area of Gangnam and is basically surrounded by car dealerships and office buildings. No outside shopping. The saving grace is that COEX is only a five minute taxi ride away. We stayed for two nights at this hotel, having booked it online and wanting to visit Seoul for a few days. We arrived... More

An average business hotel with small but nice rooms. Free internet in the rooms, but note this is via a LAN cable, no WIFI in rooms, only in the public areas. Service is fine, and English is spoken by the reception staff who are also helpful. More

Nice hotel in Gangnam Ku in Seoul. The airport bus stops right in front of the hotel. Staff is courteous. I wouldn't say they go all the way for you, but it is good. Breakfast could be better. All in all, the hotel is a good hotel, I can recommend it, but I don't think it is to be the... More

This hotel was my starting point for many destinations within Seuol, I could hear the car'e voices in my room but the location is about 1 km away from the coex shopping center where you can find whatever you need and cenimas. But it’s little far from Itaewon Street the only place for night for foreigners. The hotel offer good... More

I was staying near the Coex Business area and this hotel was great. Rooms were nice, breakfast was good (but not included unless you prepay), as well as the other restaurants. They are of course expensive though. The gym in the basement is actually a spa people use locally. Its nice and they have 10+ treadmills and plenty of weights.... More

Surprise, surprise...computer usage (... More

Access from the Incheon airport and return to airport is easy with direct airport bus 6010 which stops right in front of the hotel. Hotel staff are friendly and able to speak English. Right behind the hotel (exit from level 3) is a 24hr convenience store and near the hotel, you can find many eateries (some operate 24hrs) selling korean... More
