I’ve stayed at Gangnam Artnouveau for the last 16 years and I’m always impressed with it. Most hotels are just a bedroom and an attached bathroom, unless you opt for a “suite”. However, most, if not all rooms at Artnouveau have a living area and a kitchenette as if you’re staying in a studio/apartment in Korea. For people who love to shop and bring back fruits or food to eat at the hotel, having this living space and kitchenette is extremely convenient. The staff are friendly and there’s even small cafes, spa/massage, gym and restaurants in the same building so if you don’t want to go to the surrounding Gangnam area for some reason, you still have options in the same building. It’s also located close to important bus stops and subway stations (Gangnam Station). I highly recommend this place for the rooms, location, amenities, staff and the affordable prices. Also, for people who shop for souvenirs a lot, the hotel also has a scale in the lobby to weigh your check in luggage. The value proposition is almost unbeatable in Seoul.
