Why we recommend it
Hotel Cappuccino is an urban lifestyle hotel in Gangnam that describes itself with the slogan Pleasant Stay, Joyful Impact. It aims to offer a friendly, design-conscious stay at a more accessible price than the district's big international hotels.
The room range is broader than at many city hotels. Alongside the Cappuccino King and Super Twin rooms there are triple and quad rooms for families or groups of friends, two studio rooms, and the Bark King, a room for guests travelling with their dog, part of the hotel's wider dog-lover programme. Rooms are bright and modern, with the playful touches that run through the hotel's design.
Facilities are practical for longer stays. There is a gym, a self-service laundry and a lifestyle shop, and the rooftop bar is a relaxed place for a drink with a view over Gangnam's towers in the evening. The hotel also runs a shared-value programme, linking stays with social causes, which is part of its identity.
The hotel suits young couples, friends, families who need a triple or quad room and anyone travelling with a dog, as pet-friendly rooms are rare in Seoul. It is also convenient for business travellers with meetings in Gangnam. It is further from the palaces and old city than central hotels, so allow extra time on the subway for sightseeing days. Rates are moderate for Gangnam, with the best value on weekdays and outside the main holiday periods.
The studio rooms suit longer stays, and the self-service laundry makes it practical to pack light. If you plan to bring a dog, read the rules for the Bark King room on the hotel's website before booking. Gangnam is also a convenient base for the express bus terminal and for trips south of the city.
The hotel is on Bongeunsa-ro in the Nonhyeon area of Gangnam, close to stations on Line 9 and within reach of Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon by subway or a short taxi ride. COEX Mall and Bongeunsa Temple are further east along the same road, Garosu-gil and the boutiques of Sinsa and Apgujeong are a short ride north, and Gangnam's restaurants and nightlife are all around.
