I stayed in twin bed room at this hotel. The hotel is okay.
Good things: updated rooms with a nice modern design, good service (they carry your bag for you, call taxi, help you with anything you want), 21st century technology in rooms (electric toilet seat, phone/remote to control everything in the room, new TV, etc.).
Not so good things: the room that I’ve got was very small.

That's a mighty nice professional photograph they have of the hotel. I'm here to say it doesn't look that beautiful. That said, it suited the purpose just fine - I needed a place that wasn't too expensive, wasn't too remote and had a free internet connection, which is exactly what they provided.
I found the front desk staff to be a bit... surly, but she got the job done. The bed was a bit stiff, but everyone has their preference. I failed to consider a power adapter, but got one on loan for a deposit of 1000 Won. So long as you're able to walk Apgujeong station is perfectly fine - I'm at a bit of a loss why some other reviews complain... it's a straight shot!
The area is a bit noisy, with some sort of club or other type late-night joint nearby. The walls are a bit thin as well, so doors slamming shut and the occasional slightly loud neighbors can be a disturbance.
All in all this was a fine place for me - I spent my time there just as you should in such an interesting town... sleeping.
I stayed this hotel for a week in 2011. It was reasonably priced and clean with internet connection. It is close to Apgujung area, but not a walking distance to anywhere, Kangnam station or KOEX. if you are new to Seoul and not a taxi or bus savvy, this is not the place for you.
My partner and I stayed at this business hotel for 5 nights. The hotel is situated close to Apgujeong station, about a straight 10 minute walk from exit #3. Easy to find. Hotel is on the left side. We booked a standard double through Agoda for about $80ish per night.
Room - clean, wall-mounted television (watch out for the porn channel), comfortable bed (harder than usual but I prefer this), bidet toilet, non-steamed mirror, good shower. Bring your own shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste as these items are only provided upon payment. In-room wifi connection was fast and never cut out. LAN cable is also provided.
Location - close to pubs, popular club "Annex", convenience stores, bakeries (love paris baguette), 24-7 cafes, restaurants (including korean bbq), 'rodeo street' and plastic surgery clinics. The hotel is located a few train stops away from all the hustle and bustle of Seoul.
Staff - most spoke english well, helpful, attentive and professional.
I stayed here for 5 nights for business trip. The room is small but very clean. The price is good and lots of pubs and restaurants around the area.
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon for 3 weeks. I would recommend you request an upper level (we stayed on the 6th floor) because it is a lot more quiet. There is a popular club in the annex of this hotel building and can get a little noisy and busier on the weekends as a result so to be on the safe side a higher floor would steer you clear of any noise and nuisances. Our stay was very comfortable and was like a home away from home. The staff were friendly, our room was very clean and free of any bedbugs (which I'm anal about), had a bidet in the bathroom, everything was controlled electronically by a touch pad screen near the bed, be careful of free adult channels on the tv if traveling with kids, good location to get taxis and for restaurants/shopping, free internet cord in room, ask for special outlet plugs if traveling from outside of asia (we came from the U.S), our pkg didn't include free breakfast but they do offer buffet style breakfast downstairs which is decent. Overall, we were very pleased and satisfied and had an awesome time in Seoul. I recommend taking advantage of the tour packages available in the lobby of the hotel.
