A south-of-river base for business, contemporary hotels and COEX-side plans. Teheran-ro spans different stations; pin the property rather than treating Gangnam as one stop.

Choose the neighborhood by the journeys you will repeat, then compare hotels within that base. Paying more for a room does not remove an inconvenient daily route.
Plan the complete arrival chain rather than the airport train alone: terminal, transport, final station exit and hotel entrance. A late arrival or heavy luggage can change the best base for your first night.
Start with the exact adults and children in your party, bed layout and daily rest needs. A luxury label or a large-looking photograph does not prove a room is suitable for your family.
Compare the exact view named in the room category with the landmarks you care about. A hotel’s waterfront address or rooftop photograph is not a guarantee of the view from your booked room.
