The Classic 500 Pentaz Executive Residence

This hotel was truly a wonderful surprise for us. Not knowing anything about it or the area where its located, we were a little skeptical. However, as soon we set foot at the lobby and checked in to our room/apartment, we were very delighted and satisfied. The room was absolutely spacious, heated floor at the entrance, copious amount of storage, comfortable and sizeable kitchen/dining/living area with a study nook. Another positive for us was the washer/dryer with a clothesline to hang our clothes. Having travelled for 2 weeks, we accumulated lots of laundry to do so it was nice to wash them at the comfort of the apartment. The bedroom had wardrobes/storage, so we were able to unpack completely and put our clothes out of the suitcases. The bed was very comfortable; the bathroom was quite large and a dresser to get ready at. The location was another positive for us. It was located close to Konkuk University Hospital and station. Also, if you want to go shopping, Lotte department store was next door. We ate at a sushi train at their food court but there are a variety of other restaurants. We also recommend you visiting eMart, a supermarket that has everything. If you love walking and exploring, Seoul Forest and Ttukseom Hangang park are walkable from the hotel. We highly recommend exploring this area as it offers a lot of restaurants, cafes and shopping. You also have the luxury of buying and cooking your own food at the apartment. We did a Korean cooking class and had a lot of leftovers, so we just heated them up and ate at the apartment for dinner. For K drama fanatics, there are a few channels on the tv where you can watch different dramas in a loop all day every day. Overall, this was a fabulous find for us and we will definitely book again when we go back to Seoul.

I love the size of the place and the convenient location. It is 3-5 mins walk to the nearest metro. It is also directly across streets and streets of food places. There were plenty of cuisines to choose from. There were also cafes at the ground level which closes late should you choose to have supper. A convenience store is located at basement where you can easily get things you need. There is a pharmacy as well. Lotte department store is literally besides the hotel. Starcity mall beside that has plenty of food, supermarket, cafe, shops as well.

The gym is fantastically well equipped with new machines and even Pilates reformer. The room is very spacious and quiet. Well equipped with washing machine. Hotel is very close to Seongsu area.

The room was spacious and a wonderful place to relax after a day spent exploring the city. Our kids space could be closed off with a door, so more privacy. The location of the hotel was right across from an excellent market with easy access to excellent food and we even saw some nightlife with "kids" in their 20s.

It’s perfect for a long stay, but we have also done weekends here. It’s right beside Ttukseom park, less than a minute walk to the main subway line and plenty of shops and restaurants around. Great coffee shops in the building, a chemist and a bank machine. Really convenient and great helpful staff. When we arrived we had no way to pay the taxi and so the staff paid him and put it on our room bill. I don’t think I’d stay anywhere else when I’m in Seoul for long stays. The cleaning service is impeccable.
