The bug bites
It wasn't good as I thought. A bug bites was really bad, and a sofa was smelled. It wasn't good experience. But the location was good!!!

Perfect property for a short stay in Seoul. Within a 4 minute walk of 2 subway stations and with a 7 eleven right next door. Very comfortable and clean property with all you'd need as a base for day trips around Seoul. Excellent communication from Kevin, the property owner, who responds quickly to emails. Highly recommended.

It's a comfortable and clean apartment. Near a train station exit. Very convenient. And it's within walking distance to the main street in Gangnam. Location is ideal as its easy to travel to different parts of Seoul from here.

Great room for the price
For the price, Sweet Castle was great. It’s close enough to plenty of food options, shopping and the public transport stops (subway & bus). Although we didn’t use any of it, shampoo & conditioner were provided. The fridge had plenty of room although no ice trays were provided, (I’m from Texas...I NEED ice) so we bought some & left them for the next traveler. Only issues, I would get kicked off the WiFi over night & had temporary issues logging back in, but it would always work (eventually). The vent on the A/C could use a cleaning. There was also a nice roof patio where you could see the whole city. I’d stay there again.

Everything was so great Although it was very convenient to have a housekeeper come in every other day in terms of cleanness, it couldve been better if she came in maybe once a week. But otherwise, it was perfect

The place is nice and clean. However, the loft upstairs is a little warm and not suitable for someone tall because of the low ceiling. If you are depending on subways then you may need to walk quite a bit to the nearby subway stations, downhill to the subway and uphill to the apartment. Kevin is very accommodating- thanksa lot. We had an enjoyable stay!!

Not really comfortable...
Good location. Inside was clean and practical but it wasn't really comfy because the upstairs is too low and the air conditioning doesn't really reach up there. Overall, it's a nice place for travelers but not for me^^;;

Overall good modern place and well equipped
Overall this hotel is highly recommended. Very convenient location for shopping and food. There is street food just down the road. Also only 5 mins walk to subway station line no.9 which directly connects to Gimpo airport and express bus terminal. The place is very clean. got nice Seoul city view. can see Namsan Tower from the place.

Fantastic apartment in Gangnam
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at The Sweet Castle apartment. Be warned though - if you enter through the back there is a steep hill to climb before you arrive. You can enter off the main street (Yeoksam I believe) which has a slight incline leading up from the bus/train station but not as severe. Communication was clear in advance of our arrival and check in was without issue. The apartment is small but so well organized. We had lots of storage, the ability to do laundry and an amazing view out to the city and Namsan mountain. We were so happy with our stay that we didn't want to leave. Oh one last thing, you likely won't be able to fully stand in the lofted bedroom. We didn't mind but if you are really tall you may not be able to fully sit up in bed either. We're short so had no issues. Overall I would definitely stay here again when visiting Seoul/Gangnam.

Clean, Cozy, Fabulous Home Away From Home!
The hotel is the perfect size for two with an amazing view and super clean apartment. It has everything you could possibly need, including a kitchenette with cutlery for two. We loved every second of out trip and stay here and would definitely stop by again. The location is also EXTREMELY convenient as it is just a few minutes walk away from several subway stations, including Gangnam station. There are many places to shop, eat, and play nearby. Nothing negative to say.
