Hotels in Apgujeong/Cheongdam-Dong, Seoul

I stayed at the FP Sheraton Gangnam several times, but writing a review for the first time. First off, the staff was very friendly and accommodating- they upgraded my mother's room to a suite; provided a small welcome package; and assisted my parents with transportation to the airport. The room was also very clean and big. The view from the room was awesome and the beds were very clean and plush. As for the location, FP is walking distance from Garosugil and Apgujung-two of the most posh neighborhoods in Gangnam with great resturants, nightlife, and shopping.

Booked the hotel for a work trip, room is sufficiently large for 1 pax, plenty of space for luggage space. Location is very prime, walking distance to Sinsa station. However one downside is they are very strict on check in timing which is at 3pm. Even though they had rooms available earlier, they wouldn't allow you to check in early without paying early check in fee that charges per hour. Arrived at 1230pm, was told that check in only available at 3pm, but if i wanted to check in now, i needed to pay a per hour fee (from 1230 - 3pm) and check in now. I just left my luggage at storage, changed my clothes freshened up and left hotel for the day.

Loved it so much, this is my second time staying here. Fantastic location - centrally located, can get anywhere in 10-30 mins. Bus stop right in-front of the hotel and Sinsa station 5 mins away. There’s a 7-11 next to the hotel. There’s food places around the Garousu-Gil shopping area - lots of the locals hang out there. There’s a cafe (lobby) and rooftop bar in the hotel. 10 mins walk to the Airport bus stop - super convenient to take the bus to/from the airport. Rooms are clean and minimalist. Just take note that amenities are limited as this is an eco friendly hotel. If you are travelling with someone bring or buy additional soap/shampoo as its bar soap/shampoo/conditioner (1 bar each). If you don’t want your room cleaned daily - hotel does leave a bag of clean towels and water top up at your door. Floor space it’s good to open 3 large suitcases flat. There are slots under the bed to keep 2 suitcases just like their photos show. Only thing lacking is hanging space - towel and clothes. Loved the free Dear Klairs skincare samples. Store was located down the street from the hotel, picked up a few things because of the samples. You can keep your luggage in the lobby so you don’t need to pay extra for a locker.

My experience was great: the hotel is quite modern and clean. The bed in my room was one of the most confortable I have been in the last years, and the cleaning service was fast an efficient. The best for me was the delicious breakfast, so I can recommend it. If I visit Seoul again, I'd book again in this hotel.

Value priced hotel if visiting apgujeong. AirPort Express bus stops nearby. Photo of hotel taken from actual express bus stop heading towards airport. Be careful anout bus schedule though. Website may not be up to date. Late at night I called front desk to set up wake up call for the next morning only to be told it can’t be done because reception are not working at this time. Thought that was odd Check out was a breeze. Luggage drop off counter was also very efficient.

Overall it's good, after all, the price is not cheap. But the front desk clerk has a bad face. I think as a service industry, customers are the top priority, isn't it good to serve with a smile?

In a well location at Gangnam of Seoul, close to many eateries and local restaurants! Service is good and the room is clean. Will come again when visit Seoul

I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and 4 days. I got there early and they let me checkin and it was quite quick. The room was a decent size for a solo traveller and the shower was good. The location is okay since there’s three different stations to go too. Hak-dong station is around 8-10 minute walk and is on line 7. Sinsa is around 15 minute walk and Apgeoudo (spelling?) was around 18 minute walk. They are both the same line which is the orange colour one. I did find it a bit far but it was good for when you had a huge meal and need a walk back from the station. It is less busy and quieter for those who don’t like the bustling, noise in a central area. As for staff, I did not deal with them much aside from checkin so I had no issues. For amenities, there is a pool but I also did not go there since the weather is still cold. My negative review would be that the sheets did have hair on it. I have read other comments of the hair on the bed sheets before booking the hotel. However, I believe this to be a issue with what they are cleaning with or the machine they are using. The hair seems to stick to the bed sheets so it might be the washing machine needs cleaning? Aside from the bed sheets, the room was pretty clean. There is also a bit of noise from the Main Street since many cars pass by. They do provide earplugs but it doesn’t always block out all the noise from cars.

I stayed here for 8 days. The reception staff were helpful and polite when we checked in, the lift's very fast. The room appeared clean and had good amenities, 2 bottles of water in the fridge, coffee machine, large bed, we loved the TV above the bath, kido loved the heated toilet. It looks clean, clean bed sheets, then I slide the bathroom door closed and it's pretty dusty. No problem, I grab a tissue and wipe it down, I have a dust allergy. We lost something in between getting out of the cab and sitting down in the room so I try to find it, I look under the bed, it's really dusty and also has rubbish from previous occupants. We could hear the traffic outside but it's a busy road and it's understandable, we didn't find it annoying. There are strict check in and check out times and they won't charge you extra if you stick to these, they need time to clean the room and get it ready (they do need to slide the bathroom doors and clean these though, and under the beds too). I had a shower the next day, the waterfall shower's not easy to use and there's no instructions, but there's a handheld shower head attached to the wall. Great, I thought, that will help, It would have helped, but there's no seal around the bottom of the shower door and there's a gap, and the shower head faced the shower door. 30 minutes later I magage to clean the large amount of water in the bathroom and around the toilet up using towels, and I pop downstairs to let them know there's a problem with their shower. They sent someone up right away, I explained the issue, the shower door is missing a seal, he says 'I can't sort that' and walks out. No more showers then. We get back from a walk at around 8pm, and there's a very high pitched whistle coming from the ceiling in our room. I check the lights, the air conditioning and it whistles for about 30 minutes so I pop to the reception desk and let them know. Someone comes up right away and lets us know it's a valve in the bathroom ceiling, there's a hatch, he opens it up, and it stops. Yay! 5 minutes later... yup, it's back. He comes back and adjusts the valve once again. It stops. 5 minutes later... yup. Then it stops. Until the following evening. I let reception know it's still happening, they send someone out, again, it stops, again, and starts, again a few minutes later. It stops and starts throughout the night, midnight, 1am, 4am, 9am. We're tired, I'm rather grumpy, so we ask to change rooms so we can sleep. They check with the manager and give us another room. The new room has a seal at the bottom of the shower, unfortunately their water fall shower lasts for 1 second if you try to use it as the handle on the door self adjusts. There's still dust on the sliding doors and under the bed. We're exhausted having had a pretty bad night due to the alarm, so we sleep, a lot. We didn't eat in the hotel, it's expensive, there's a little French baguette place not too far away and a Starbucks so we're sorted. The Nespresso only ha

Overall, the location of the hotel was good and convenient. Walking distance to COEX, airport bus to ICN just 150m from the hotel. Cleanliness of the hotel was good, but the shower glass partition need to be cleaned, otherwise its ok. Will come back to this hotel again in future.
