Given this is Accor's mid-tier offering, one would not expect the excellent service, quality cooking, generous sized rooms and overall super awesomeness. The entire staff is amazing - from the concierge team on ground level, to the front desk, food exchange area, and the cleaning ladies. If you spring for the 'residence' side of the hotel, there is a nice sized room and bathroom to enjoy in quiet with good views of the city on higher floors. The nearby area has plenty to do for a few days, but the key is that a short cab ride away are the cool cafe areas of Seongsu (start at Onion cafe on one end and walk the whole thing), Garosu-gil street in Gangnam, the Starfield library in in COEX mall (Gangnam), the central tourist sites, and even not too far from Hongdae.
