Voco Seoul Gangnam, An Ihg Hotel

“Good Hotel, Staff. Good for Gangnam visit”

Stayed here in Sep 2024 with friends. The hotel is centrally located in Gangnam…and may be the best location for plastic surgery/medical tourism visits, given the bevy of clinics nearby. The lobby may be underwhelming but the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I received an early checkin for a small fee. My room was what I expected. I had a base category Single. It’s cozy but very well appointed. The room has a modern feel with old and metal accents. Everything had been thought out and was practical. My friend stayed in a higher category Deluxe room, that was similar in interior design but larger, and may be more comfortable for a couple. The hotel has a paid self-laundry, which was useful…and I saw many guests using it. Also each floor had a pantry area for some basic cooking. Both are great ideas. WiFi worked well. I did not use the restaurant, as the breakfast was on the expensive side. Housekeeping staff were very thorough and I always came back to a clean room. The location is not the best for a tourist itinerary (palaces, markets, DMZ, Seoul Tower), but it works if you have work or friends based in Gangnam. I highly recommend staying here.

I stayed at Voco Seoul Gangnam for 1 night during this 1 week trip, amongst other hotel chains under other groups (Marriott, banyan tree, Swissôtel). Of all the hotels I experienced, Voco Seoul had the best service of all. The staff greeted you warmly, came earnestly offering to wheel your luggage (which was experienced when I checked in and out) and offered you bottles of cold water amongst other small gestures. They were genuinely warm in their reception and not simply going through the motions. Would highly recommend if service is something important for you in booking your hotel stay.

“Great hotel in the heart of Gangnam”

I went to Seoul for Korea Blockchain Week, a week which also had some other events running, so most hotels were 100% booked. Availability for voco Gangnam popped up about a week before the event so I was able to stay here (much better location than I'd previously booked as a backup), but I didn't have much experience with the voco brand, so didn't have any particular expectations. Turns out, voco is basically ideal for business/solo travel: comfortable room, fast internet (400Mbps!), great food (breakfast and room service), some good meeting areas, and my favorite part: self-service laundry with really nice machines. They were so kind as to let me use the machines after my check-out time, and now I have clean clothes for my next week in South Africa. I don't think I'd come to Seoul just to stay in this hotel, but I definitely will stay here when I come to Seoul again.

The Voco Seoul Gangnam is a nice hotel situated in a GREAT location. Our three-night stay was pleasant and we would likely stay here again. Hotel Pros: *Fantastic location, walking distance to Sinsa Station and tons of great restaurants and bars. It’s hard to overstate how cool this part of Gangnam is. If you’re into great food and drink, this is the location for you! *Friendly service. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, including arranging airport pick up and drop off cars for us. *The hotel mini bar - which is restocked daily - was included in our room rate. Nice to enjoy a free beer at the end of the night. Hotel Cons: *This Voco is kind of a cross between a boutique hotel and a Holiday Inn Express. In all reality, there is a bit of a gap between the hotel’s self-identity/brand and reality. Rooms are not super well appointed and look a bit cheap, elevators are slow, and hotel amenities (including tooth brushes and tooth paste) need to be purchased. *The beer garden in the front of the hotel is a wasted opportunity. Such a beautiful space but apparently rarely used. All in all, this is a good hotel in a wonderful location. Treat it as such, and you won’t be disappointed.
