Seoul Riviera Hotel

Everytime i visited this hotel, different size of room is assigned for the same room title.

Initially while booking, this hotel seemed like a great option. The design is nice and antique. It's in a convenient location near a bus stop and subway station. The staff are patient and helpful. However, there were several issues within the room. The lights do not have a switch or button to turn off. The lamps had to be unplugged every night before going to bed. Unfortunately, the closet ceiling light could not be unplugged or turned off at all. The motion sensor light turns on by itself in the middle of the night while sleeping. The bathroom floor was leaking water in multiple spots from the tile. You will be charged to use the toothpaste and toothbrush. There are not enough universal plug outlets. Overall, the hotel comes across very fancy on the surface, but I think the rooms need to be updated and better maintained.

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.
