The Ace Hotel

I liked that the single room was spacious enough for all of my belongings. The bed was very comfortable. I appreciated that there was a TV and a mini fridge with drinks inside (though I didn't drink any of them). It was also quite nice to have an electric kettle with tea and face masks to further relax after a long day. The staff during my stay were super friendly and accommodating. One of the staff even gave me ice water upon seeing me dying from the Summer heat. The hotel was right next to the COEX Mall (a 10 minute walk or a 3 minute bus ride), where Seoul ComicCon was. So that was great for the location and the price.

The four days I was there, the main two things I didn't like were the fact that the windows were blocked as the hotel is literally sandwiched between two buildings. I was on the eighth floor and that would've made for a wonderful view at night. The other thing I didn't care for was that the only way to keep the room lights on was to insert the room key in an electrical slot near the front door. The electricity cuts off as soon as you take it out and leave your room. It was annoying having to restart my game console every time it cut off.

The bathroom had a luxury feel to it.

They gave a smoking room without asking or giving is the option. The windows were a bit odd. One of the windows had a hinge door that never stayed open.
