it’s a budget hotel so your getting what you paid for. Overall, I thought it was a very cozy and nice place especially if you’re solo traveling. Very close to metro and shopping area and pretty convenient. Would stay again if I was traveling alone in Korea in the future

Great place for solo traveler. Your own room and bathroom. Amenities aren’t in great condition. For example like the kitchen isn’t really in great condition. It was dirty and the available tools and tableware are not complete nor clean. Although there is available microwave and laundry available. It’s close to everything like transportation, convenient stores, and shopping area.

Lovely staff to assist with traveling needs who speak English fluently. Bus stop and subway stops are very close by (less than a 5 minute walk away). Ideal location for skincare needs as clinics are right in front of you. Elevator access available for floors. Easy accessibility after hours getting into building after lobby hours are closed. Cleanliness is 3 out of 5 as there were some mold stains on the grout on the bathroom walls and perhaps food stains on walls, but floors, towels, and bed were clean. In shower, great hot water though water pressure is on the soft side. Will need your own body soap and hair conditioner, as they provide a very small bar of soap and shampoo only. Laundry machine cleaned clothes well. Very quiet stay and enjoyable. Air conditioning worked great though I didn’t need it much. I would most definitely come back to this location.

Such a budget place in Gangnam

I stayed in 6th floor of this 6 story building with separate kitchen on the same floor(I realized it just befire checking out). This place is a budget lodge near the express bus terminal and Gangnam metro station without a doubt (just two metro station distance from each). There is no parking lot on site but if you stay here only late overnight(eg,between 9pm to 8am), there seem to be abundant parking areas around here.

I gave 5 star for everything not because this is a 5 star hotel, but because for what I paid for, everything here was excellent. It's close to major public transit including airport transport, close to many great stores and restaurants. For those who are interested, this is walking distance to old BTS locations. The room was small but it's clean and comfortable it's got everything I needed, with the space designed to be practical and efficient. The common space has everything else one needs to live there for a long time. Internet access is great. One slight problem is I asked for a room with washing machine since I stayed there for quite a while. They gave me a room with it but when I went to use it I realized it's disconnected. They said it's electricity issue on that floor. I was a bit disappointed but the washing machine in the common area worked well and it wasn't busy (middle of July). The people at the office are friendly and helpful. It's a place I highly recommended if you want to stay in Seoul for a long time and not pay a lot of money.

Pros: close walking distance to the sub, buses and stores. Great price, the lady and young man was incredibly nice and spoke English very well. Everything worked well. Rooms were clean.

Cons: walls are incredibly thin that I can hear every detail the neighbors do (putting keys down, yawning, using the bathroom, etc). It caught me off guard when someone checked in late which woke me up. They ended up staying up until 4am talking in a regular tone but it was as if there were no walls cus I heard word for word their conversation. Bed is very hard. The cleaning guy was extremely rude. He didn't know my checkout date as he banged on the door to demad me to \"leave, 1130\" and walked off before I could explain. When I tried to explain he shooed me off and walked away more. What was that?! You don't like working here then dont! We are the customers who pay for your salary, we didn't tell you to be so miserable.

It ain’t the Ritz, but does a satisfying job for $

I was able to check-in quite late. Thankfully a key was left outside for me thanks to the trust of their neighborhood.
My room was clean considering how old it was and in need of a little tender loving care. Really firm mattress, which I tend to prefer. Water stained wallpaper. Black mildew in the corners and caulking in the bathroom. A little vacuuming under the bed would be welcome.
The room had a bit of a dank smell with air fresheners dangling. I kept the window open to keep fresh air flowing.
Don’t forget your Korean wall power adapter!
I felt safe and comfortable in this quiet suite. It’s in a good location in popular Gangnam(-style!). One is a couple blocks away from the Sinsa subway station to zip around town.
I never met the staff as I only used the side entrance/exit, but I’m sure they were pleasant.

It was small but enough for solo, since you won't be spending much time in the room anyway.

There's also a shared kitchen and washer near the lift. Worth the money considering that you'll get your own toilet too (toilet and shower together, a little small but you'll make do with it!)

Great hotel. Will stay again!

I loved the location of E-Residence. Very safe, close to bus, and subway. The Sinsa Station Exit 3 is a short walk. There were many convenience stores, fast food, restaurants and my favorite store in Korea Daiso. The room is a little small, but clean and has alot of closet space, drawer space, microwave oven, large refrigerator, and washing machine. There is also a space to hang dry your wet clothes. There is a kitchen on every floor to cook food also.

Room was clean. The one thing I didn't like was the shower and toilet are so close to each other. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It's a great hotel and I will stay here again. Airport bus 6009 is like a very short walk away very nice!!
