Rooftop Gin Bar with panoramic Gangnam skyline views
Dedicated 'Bark Rooms' with custom dog beds and room service
Industrial-chic design that actually feels expensive, not just unfinished
Kurzfassung: A stylish, social hostel-meets-boutique hotel where the rooms are tiny but the vibe is immaculate.
Bewertet von @nycyorkiegirls: I took my pup here for a staycation and we were obsessed with the matching robes! The room came fully prepped with a dog house and stairs, so we could just relax immediately. It’s super rare to find a spot in Gangnam that’s this chic and truly pet-friendly.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
The hype
Travelers love the rooftop bar and the bed comfort, but consistently warn about the tight square footage.
Reality check
The 'eco-friendly' policy means you pay for amenities you might expect for free, and the AC/heating system is centrally controlled in some seasons.
You are traveling with a dog (under 15kg)
You prioritize a cool lobby and rooftop scene over room size
You are a solo traveler or couple comfortable with close quarters

Housekeeping: Daily service is efficient. Eco-program encourages skipping linen changes.

Maintenance: Modern build means little wear and tear, though some scuffs on walls in smaller rooms due to luggage impact.
Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality. ACE beds are consistently praised.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells like coffee (naturally). Rooms are fresh; non-smoking policy is strictly enforced.

“I would love a high-floor room facing away from Bongeunsa-ro for a quieter sleep. If possible, a corner room for a bit more perceived space would be amazing.”

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The elevators can be slow during check-out time (11 AM).
💡The 'Bark Park' is cute but small; don't expect a full dog run.
💡The bathroom walls in some rooms are semi-transparent or glass — make sure you're comfortable with your roommate.
💡You can rent a bike, but Seoul traffic makes it a terrifying experience for beginners.
💡The AC is centrally controlled, meaning you can't switch to 'cool' if the hotel has switched to 'heat' for the season.
