為什麼人們喜歡它
- The unapologetically maximalist 'Bridgerton-meets-Seoul' lobby decor
- Newly renovated (2024) residence rooms with kitchenettes and laundry
- Soundproofing that actually blocks out the Gangnam bustle
快速概覽： A quirky, old-money time capsule that just got a facelift, but still feels like visiting your wealthy aunt's mansion.
由 @thehighstandardgent 評論: I picked this spot to end my trip and it was perfect. Being right in the middle of the party scene in Itaewon was a blast. The room was moody and cool, the breakfast bulgogi was delicious, and waking up to that city view for only $90 felt like a total win.

Reality check
Despite the 2024 rebrand to Grand Mercure, some 'classic' issues remain: slow elevators and occasional drainage smells in bathrooms.
- You need a residence-style room with a washer/dryer for a longer stay
- You appreciate 'vintage luxury' over modern minimalism
- You are in Seoul for medical tourism (clinics are everywhere nearby)
清潔與維護
8.2
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough daily service, though some reports of missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling, but watch out for 'drain flies' or sewer odors in some units — a known Gangnam drainage issue.
- Maintenance: Newly renovated rooms are sharp, but common areas still show some 'vintage' wear and tear.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-quality white linens, though a few guests noted towels felt older.
- Odors & scents: Lobby is heavily fragranced; rooms are generally fresh unless there's a drain issue.
