Hotels near Trian, Seoul

"Although the hotel is located in Cheongdam-dong, the surrounding commercial area isn't very developed. There's only a GS25 nearby for food and drinks. The transportation is fairly convenient, with a bus stop a few hundred meters to the right when you exit, which can take you to most places. However, the subway is quite far, requiring another bus ride. It's indeed an older hotel, and the room maintenance is pretty subpar. The double room we booked was extremely cramped; with two suitcases open, there was barely any room to walk. The bathroom had no exhaust fan, and there was mold on the ceiling and bathmat. The air conditioner vent was built into a fake bay window under the actual window. On our first night, we couldn't find the light switch and accidentally opened the bay window cabinet, which was full of dust. The service was also very average. On our second night, we couldn't get into our room with the key card and had to go down to the front desk, and they offered no explanation. Early check-in requires an extra fee, and on the morning of check-out, the concierge said that next time, one person can only store one item (we stored one suitcase and one backpack) 😅😅 No worries, there won't be a next time."

"The hotel is located in Gangnam-gu, which is convenient for medical aesthetics and shopping in the area. The room facilities are generally good, and the service is decent. They provide two bottles of mineral water daily, and refills cost extra, but it's not expensive. There's an afternoon tea area in the hotel lobby. The staff at check-in spoke limited Mandarin, but we managed to communicate."

"Overall, my friend and I had a fantastic stay. The room was quite spacious and comfortable, and the location was super convenient for getting to Seongsu-dong and Garosu-gil. Plus, there were amazing soy-marinated crab and Hanwoo (Korean beef) restaurants right next door! Our entire experience was perfect. Next time I'm in Korea with friends, I'll definitely be staying here again."

"This place is conveniently located near the city center, and the price isn't as expensive as hotels in Gangnam. It's really good! Plus, there's a delicious 24-hour beef soup place right across the street, and the coffee shop downstairs is excellent too."

"The hotel's location is excellent. It's conveniently close to the subway, restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores. However, I was disappointed with the room. The first room I was given had a noticeable cigarette smoke smell, but thankfully the staff allowed me to change rooms. During my stay, both my friend and I experienced allergy symptoms, which we believe were caused by the dusty carpet and bedding. The pillows were also quite uncomfortable, making it difficult for us to get a good night's sleep. Overall, the location is a major advantage, but the cleanliness and comfort of the room need improvement."

"Everything about our stay was perfect. The hotel has an excellent location, the room was comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive throughout our stay. The river view was particularly amazing and definitely one of the highlights. At night, you go to bed looking out at a beautiful view filled with city lights, and waking up to the river in the morning is just as wonderful. The hotel is also directly connected to a shopping mall, which is very convenient for dining and shopping. The subway entrance is only about a one-minute walk from the hotel, making it extremely easy to get around the city. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend this hotel. We would be very happy to stay here again!"

"This hotel was a truly delightful surprise! Located in such a prime Gangnam spot, this designer hotel immediately impressed with its fresh and modern ambiance upon entry. The concierge was kind and friendly, and even spoke Chinese, which made getting around incredibly easy. The room was clean and tidy, offering exceptional value for money. You're surrounded by great shopping districts like Apgujeong, Sinsa-dong, and Cheongdam-dong, and it's just a short walk to Olive Young. There are also plenty of aesthetic clinics and great food options nearby. Despite all this, the streets are surprisingly quiet at night with very little traffic or footfall. All in all, it was a very comfortable and satisfying stay. I'll definitely be staying here again next time I visit Korea."

"For this price point, the basic room hygiene was excellent, no complaints there! But apart from that, everything else was a letdown. If you're looking for a comfortable and convenient trip, this isn't the place. Location and Dining: The hotel is located on a mountain with a great view, but don't even think about walking anywhere. Besides a duty-free shop nearby (which is mostly frequented by personal shoppers), even getting a taxi is a hassle. For breakfast, be prepared to wait an hour. The front desk suggested I go before 7 AM to avoid the queue, which, to be fair, made breakfast quite good. When I checked in, I also inquired about dinner and good restaurants. The front desk staff claimed all their hotel restaurants were famous and delicious, especially the Japanese one. When I asked them to make a reservation for us, they said reservations usually needed to be made 30 days in advance. Fine. Then I thought, I'll just grab a coffee at the hotel cafe. Another wait... at least 30 minutes. Ugh... Returning to the hotel on the second evening, I found the lobby packed with people queuing all the way to the door, like a bustling market. They were all lining up for the buffet. If your F&B is that good, why bother with the hotel? Guests staying here can't even get a table because it's full of outside diners. The swimming pool was the same – tiny and completely overcrowded, impossible to actually swim. There must have been at least 50 people in there; it was more like a hot tub than a pool. Honestly, apart from sleeping, nothing else was good. Let's talk about the service: It felt like they were particularly reluctant to serve Chinese guests. When checking out, my child and I were carrying our luggage out, and there were many staff standing in the lobby who didn't offer to help. It was only when a car pulled up outside that someone came to assist us with our bags. What were all those people standing around in the lobby doing then? After my luggage was loaded, I got into the car and looked out the window to see the person who just helped me with my bags using my car window as a mirror to fix his hair. Hilarious! (This happened at 7 AM Korean time on the 19th). For this price, you're better off staying in Gangnam. Josun Palace is much better and similarly priced. To be honest, I'm very disappointed. It's a beautiful hotel, and the staff are all good-looking, but they clearly haven't been properly trained. I hope whoever cares about this hotel sees this review and seriously considers whether you are in the F&B business or hospitality. My experience of your hospitality was very poor. You did great in terms of the beautiful location and clean rooms, but you missed out on how to treat your guests that are staying at the hotel. Horrible experience. I don’t think you deserve the reputation you once had."

"Convenient location, perfect for solo travelers! Location: Situated between two subway stations with lots of nearby dining options and convenience stores. Room Layout: A duplex/loft style. The lower level has the bathroom and a small sofa area (enough space to open one suitcase; best for 1 person). The upper level is the bedroom (steep stairs—not recommend for elderly or those with mobility issues) Amenities: Large TVs on both levels. Towels, water, and basic amenities are provided. Cleanliness is decent. Service: Great customer support via WeChat. They can easily arrange room cleaning and help book airport transportation. 房間：5 服務：5 地點：4"

"Perhaps the best hotel I stayed at in Seoul for this price. Super friendly staff, the hotel has an actual large lobby where you can leave your luggages. They also have a space near the lobby where I've seen people work on their laptos etc. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need except for the toothbrush, they sell them or recommend you pick one up from the nearby stores. A great thing they have in the rooms is the AC guard that doesn't let AC direct air flow right on your bed. That earns a special point for me."
