For Americans new to South Korea, expect hotel rooms to be smaller than what you are used to. Hand Picked Hotel is no exception. Then again, the Hotel rates are far lower than in the USA. If you’re expecting a 4star experience and room sizes, book a Five Star Hotel. I would give a 4 star to the staff, only because I ran into a situation where no staff were present when I accidentally locked myself out of my room. Apparently the young reception crew were out back taking a break together. When I found them, and asked for assistance, they said they were taking a break and will be back in about 5 minutes. In all other instance, all the staff, from doorman to cleaning ladies were curtious and helpful. The hotel itself seems old and run down. We had a false fire alarm due to the elevators malfunctioning. Apparently water had flooded the elevator shafts. Then one of the two elevators the hotel had was shut down for the remainder of our stay. I will chalk it up to the rainy season. Our stay at Hand Picked Hotel was at the end of July.

Just okay…
Pros: Staff is very kind, helpful & English speaking, the cafe in the basement is nice, the maids come in to change your towels, make your bed, take your trash out etc every day, eco friendly shower products, airport bus
Cons: Location: 20-30 minute taxi ride to popular spots in Seoul, 40-50+ mins with the subway or bus, scuffs on the walls and furniture, room would get up to 80+ degrees even though the heat was turned off and the curtains were closed, no airflow unless you open a window which I often had to do to cool the room down but then the street noise was very loud and disruptive, toilet didn’t flush very well, yellowing grout in the shower, dirty screens/windows, rips and holes in the towels and bedding (the strings in the bottom of our duvet covers where they’re supposed to tie together were completely ripped off, there was a loud electrical crackling coming from the wall by the door one night too ?… could be a nice hotel it’s just run down and needs some refreshing

월컴 드링크도 챙겨 주시고, 주차 가능해서 좋아요 시설도 심플하고 깨끗한데, 난방을 해도 온도가 잘 오르지 않아서 좀 썰렁했어요
고급호텔급을 기대하고 오면 실망할 수도 있을듯함. 가성비 비즈니스 호텔 정도의 느낌. 샴푸 린스 바디워시 등은 없지만 동구밭에서 나오는 작은 비누형태로 구비되어 있음. 따로 챙겨오는게 좋을 듯 함. 웰컴 커피 주는건 좋았음. 주변 교통편 좋았고 주변 소음 거슬리는것 없었음. 다만 기대에 비해서는 가성비 비즈니스 호텔의 느낌!

Eine der wenigen guten Hotels in der Gegend, da hier kein Tourismusist. Aber Anbindung an Metro und Bus ist sehr gut. Es liegt südlich vom Fluss und es ist eine typische Gegend mit einheimischer Bevölkerung und einigen Universitäten in der Nähe.

Liegt etwas abseits der üblichen Touristik, ist aber sehr gut erreichbar in der Nähe von Bus und Metro. Der Flughafenbus hält direkt vor dem Hotel.
