I stayed there last week for business and completely enjoyed it. I booked the deluxe room that had two very comfortable beds. This is a boutique type hotel and it has designer touches all over including the rooms. My room was very contemporary with wood floors and a large whirlpool bath. The separate rain shower and toilet were in orange shaded glass enclosures. The toilet was one of the luxury models common in Asia that does everything for you at the push of a button. The seat was even heated. The marble center island had the bath sink and mirrors.
The daily breakfast buffet was in the restarurant downstairs and was only $13 USD all you can eat. This lovely room was only $125 per night. The staff was always helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.
Great hotel for GangNam stay
DON'T GO TO THIS HOTEL - MANAGEMENT IS NOT FAIR WITH GUESTS
ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY
I booked a room for 10 days 2 months before staying for a business trip. Please note the following before thinking of staying in this hotel:
- room windows are very small, some rooms can be really dark - difficult to ventilate the room,
- they gave me a twin bed though I am in couple (!!)
- cleaning is not so good, lot of dust when I entered the room, especially on aircon - need to ask for a better cleaning
- carpet was disgusting, very old - lots of stains,
- holes in the linen,
- need to pay for razor or toothbrush,
- breakfast is simple for the price (13 000W), and often not a buffet, but just 1 plate
- price policy is not fair: I booked 2 months ago for 1 price with agoda - I noticed that at the time of my stay, agoda price was lower, with a difference of 100 000W for my whole stay. Manager did not want to do anything, saying it was not my problem (!)
- I dropped an iron, with a mark on the carpet. I immediately told it to the front desk, they asked me 3 days later to pay the full carpet price that is 300 000W ! I then told them their carpet was old, used and already dirty. They asked me then to pay 50 000W. I told them it was still too much for an old carpet that should have been changed several years ago. They did not want to change their mind, I had to pay their price !.
- area is OK for a short stay, if you work very close to the hotel. Otherwise very boring, not so many bars and restaurants, all the same. Better go to a different place with more exciting places for the evening (for example near Sinnonhyeon station).
I don't recommand this hotel. Management is not fair and does not care at all about their customers.
Cheap and good!
nice and clean room
Clean and comfort.

Fabulous Hidden Gangnam Gem (Reviewed on TripAdvisor - 13 July 2013)
I just returned from my trip last evening. I spent 8 nights at Grammos Hotel and great GOODNESS! that I found this hotel (Okie, actually my local tour guide found it). With the rate that I paid for against the services and the quality I received, there is no way I gonna give this hotel lower than 4 points.
From understanding, this hotel was newly renovated and reopened a few months ago, don't expect to find this with Google Maps Street View (I tried =P). This hotel is behind Nox Hotel and on the small road (Teheran-ro) beside Renaissance Seoul Hotel. Bus 6702 from Airport stops in front of Renaissance Hotel and you can walk to Grammos.
This hotel is located in Yeoksamdong of Gangnamgu. Its 5 min walk to Yeoksam station and 1 stop away from Gangnam station. Location wise, its short trip away to Garosugil, Apgujeong and Cheongsamdong. Seocho district (where cheaper shopping can be done) is just right beside Gangnam district.
When we reached the lobby, we were received by its warm and friendly staffs. Coffee was served for both my wife and me while we were waiting for our check-in. Even the housekeepers were so friendly.
The room was very comfy and spacious. We had enough space to place our big and small luggage bags. My wife loves the separation of the toilet and shower rooms (rain shower included). Bed was of right hardness and we got to have 1 hard and 1 softer pillows to suit each of us. Not forgetting the HDTV and the cute high tech in-room phone. Modern and cosy room setting. Towels are changed everyday and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are replenished everyday. The hotel has a roof-top pool for light swim as well. Uploaded hotel photos for your eyes.
Surroundings are office buildings. That said, you can expect the area to be quieter during weekends. But not to worry, there are lots of Korean restaurants and convenience stores within the vicinity. Korean seafood, Korean BBQ, Coffee Cafes, Paris Baguette and Kkhunbu Chicken.
On our last day, the service of the (only) lift was disrupted by the heavy rainstorm. We were on level 9 and you know its gonna 'hurt' when you look at your 8 days of shopping luggage bags. The staffs helped us carry our bags down. Yes, step-by-step down the stairs.
We had very enjoyable night staying here and definitely a MUST choice when we are back again.
