Hip hotel in happening part of town. The 20th floor reception area with bar and view of swimming pool was stunning. Rooms were comfortable and clean but quite small. Minor quibbles- tv came on every time you entered the room, concierge was helpless when I asked for dining recommendations, food was good but pricey compared to room charge. Overall good value though

Kanas, London

Travelled with family
Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel, though conveniently situated within a 10-minute walk from the major shopping malls in Dongdaemun, appeared to prioritize capacity over quality service. It merely offering the bare minimum for tourists and the staffs are less helpful than other hotels we stayed before (e.g. Marriott and RYSE Autograph Collection). This left much to be desired in terms of the overall guest experience. we stayed at the residence for a week, booked 2 rooms for 3 people, and not one day we were not disappointed. Unlikely to return and not recommend.
