A hotel that stays frequently for personal or business purposes. I have visited a number of ibis style hotels in Seoul/Inshan/Chengdu and found them the best in terms of price, location and room condition. For those who want to visit a business car in Gangnam, or for those who want to go to a bedroom, Samsung (COX), it seems to be the best and best option. Additionally, the ALL (Acor) app or homepage is not visible at the time of booking, but some rooms have a special concept (Sound room, Art room, etc.). Interested people should check in front of the reservation.

Despite not having a direct airport limosine to the hotel, i quite enjoyed my stay here. It was a hassle since it is between 2 rather busy train stations, and that i landed at 4am in the morning, private car was the best mode for me. There are cafes around, so are convenient stores. I like the bathroom set up. Shower space was good. Hot shower was fast. Mini fridge was cold. TV channels were ok, but no options for mirrorcast from mobile device. Room itself is pretty small, practically no space for your suitcase to lay flat and closed. Even pulling out the desk chair was tight. Aircon/heater was great. I was surprised that the gym was nicely equipped. Breakfast was super simple.
Laundry was good. During my visit, 1 washer machine was out of order. It would be good if the machine was totally switched off or cover the coin/bill slot. Someone used it and caused the floor to be flooded. The notice was not visible for ignorant guests. Am planning for my next travel in March, and might return here.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
In a hurry to book, I accidentally found, booked and stayed. The location is not so bad. It was not too crowded because it was just in the middle of Samsung Station, and it was especially quieter in the evening than the hotels in Cox Avenue. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and had a good breakfast, and in the evening we could enjoy a delicious meal at nearby restaurants. If there is only one thing that needs to be improved, there are two washing machine dryers each, and there are many foreigners, so it is especially necessary to clean the washing machine periodically.

Great hotel! We stayed at this hotel for 10 nights and can only recommend it. Rooms are older but tip top clean. There were fresh towels and water every day. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. The Coex Mall can be reached in 10-15 minutes walk. The nearest bus stop can be reached in about 5 minutes and the nearest metro stations in about 10-15 minutes. Since we were mainly to sleep in the hotel, we didn't test breakfast or the restaurant, so I can't say much about it. Very good we found the laundromat. There you can wash for about 5 euros and dry for another 5 euros. Ironing boards are also available. The detergent can be pulled from the vending machine. In the room itself there's a TV set, we found great for waiting. On the whole we were very satisfied and would come back anytime.

Above all, it was very convenient to come straight from the airport with a limo.
We arrived in Korea so late that we arrived at the hotel at more than 12 o'clock at night, but we were welcomed without any concern.
We stayed for three days and the front staff was very friendly to our family, which was our first visit, so it felt so good to start the experience here.
You have a good understanding of your reservations, and you have handled reservations with your passport and other names.
We were very grateful for checking out our family members, checking our rooms and upgrading to a larger, more comfortable room.
I have to stay for the next three days and I feel sure you will enjoy the day.
Thank you.

1) Relatively convenient location in Gangnam with quite a few eateries around (use NAVER maps to find places to eat because Google maps doesn't really work) 2) Complimentary internet and quite a variety of TV channels (as opposed to hotels in Japan) 3) Rooms are adequately sized for a single traveler but definitely not for couples or families. 4) Breakfast was commendable for a 3 star hotel, with porridge, pastries, bacon, eggs, sausages, fruits, salad etc.
Cons - 1) Though the toilet looked clean, it had a faint dried pee smell. 2) There is a safe in the room but it wasn't working (it couldn't lock even after multiple tries of following the instruction card) 3) Wifi signal is weak and disconnects often, which is terrible if you are trying to work or have a VoIP call.

I had breakfast and the food was delicious and warm. I didn't eat turtles in the morning, and my liver wasn't thickened and measured so I could eat without a burden. I ordered the omelet and I could see how it was made in person, so it felt more delicious and clean. And the staff were so kind and sensible. I wanted to sit in the window seat, but I didn't have a seat. As soon as the window was opened, the staff came and we were able to get a seat, and thanks to the delicious food and friendly service, we were able to make good memories!

I had an errand at COEX and used it after two days and one night. It was close to the bus stop and we had staff who could speak Japanese, so we could spend time with peace of mind. There are really only a minimum of amenities (hand soap, body soap, shampoo, etc.) according to Korean regulations, so you can buy them at the front desk, but you must bring your own. It takes about 15 minutes on foot to get to the COEX and the station, but I don't think it's a problem at all as there are convenience stores, Starbucks, Olive Young and other facilities that tourists will appreciate along the way.

Have a good day!!!! It was a little old to look, but the clean leather slippers the toilet was a little unique like the airplane toilet, but the water came tight! When you go in, the baby-like interior of the red yellow colour was cute. The hotel location is also a bus stop a 5 minute walk from several, and the car was also close to Fosco. The service was friendly and impeccable. It was a greatly impeccable stay! Next time I'll take a ride.

Just like most other Ibis hotels worldwide, Ibis Gangnam is reasonably priced, clean, practical, comfortable and convenient
The room was not exactly spacious but it was clean and well maintained. Not to mention that breakfast is delicious as well.
It is conveniently located beside various eateries and groceries.
For those travelling via metro - the nearest station is Samseong or Soelleung - both about 8mins walk away.
It is worth mentioning that KAL limousine bus takes passengers directly from Incheon airport terminal to Posco bus station - which is just 3mins walk away from the hotel. We found this option easy and practical as we were travelling with a few luggages.
Overall a pleasant stay and would highly recommend this place.
