Extremely convenient that it’s directly connected to multiple subway lines, including the one that goes directly to the 2 major airports. Multiple dining options and a market in the basement made it very convenient as well. I docked a point because the room started to show its age a bit (compared to other properties at similar ‘quality’) & summoning the elevator can be a bit time consuming but overall fairly happy with my experience

Intentionally decided for Mapo instead of Gangnam, cos Mapo literally between Gimpo/Incheon and the center of Seoul. Easy to reach, the underground mall below Lotte Mapo is a big extra. Room and service were perfect
