Gangnam Boutique Hotel, The Hotel 1997, located just a 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station.

If you're looking for accommodation near Gangnam for a trip to Seoul, a date in Gangnam, or when it's difficult to go home after a late night at work, you're probably not alone.

I'm sharing my experience of staying one night at The Hotel 1997, a Gangnam Station hotel with great value for money.

Located a 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station, The Hotel 1997 is a popular choice for foreign tourists. Not only is the transportation convenient, but the modern interior and lighting are also beautiful. My first impression was that it was very neat and clean.

환상적인 장면

Located in the heart of Gangnam, a great place to stay for a trip to Seoul, this Seoul boutique hotel is within walking distance of Gangnam Station. The exterior of the hotel has a modern design.

The hotel parking space is spacious enough to accommodate even high-roof SUVs, making parking very convenient.

The lobby of The Hotel 1997 at Gangnam Station has a luxurious space where you can relax, making you feel like you've stepped into a pretty cafe.

인상 깊은 모습

The lobby is quite large, so you can use it comfortably without feeling cramped.

The Hotel 1997, a Gangnam Station hotel within walking distance of Gangnam Station, has a coffee machine, ice maker, and refrigerator, so I liked that I could drink hot coffee, iced coffee, and cool water whenever I wanted.

I parked in the parking lot with plenty of space even late at night, checked in, and went to my room.

The room I stayed in was a premium room located on the 5th floor. With a modern and clean interior, it was a clean hotel that exuded a sophisticated atmosphere.

평화로운 풍경

As soon as I entered the premium room, I saw a large bed, TV, illuminated dressing table, and the refrigerator contained water and drinks!

The premium room space was quite large, and the room had a spacious structure with separate beds and tables, toilets, shower facilities, and a bathtub.

The bed was very clean, and the air conditioning system was also very clean and cool.

Right next to the bed, there were outlets, USB chargers, and LAN sockets, so I could easily use my phone and laptop while lying in bed.

따뜻한 추억

There was a large wall-mounted TV opposite the bed, and I could watch Netflix and various channels with the free OTT service, so I could comfortably watch movies and dramas from the bed.

There was a dressing table with a mirror that had pretty lights, which was practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Next to the dressing table, there was a toilet and bathroom area, and because it was a premium room, the toilet and bathroom area were quite large!

희망찬 내일

There was a washbasin in the center, with a bathroom and bathtub on one side and a toilet on the other. The toilet also has a bidet.

Please note that there is a hair dryer in the storage compartment under the washbasin!

The toilet and shower areas were separated, so I could use the toilet without moisture.

The shower room was equipped with all the necessary items such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, so you don't need to bring them separately.

인상 깊은 모습

The room was spacious enough to have not only a toilet and shower booth, but also a large bathtub, which I was very satisfied with.

The Hotel 1997 is just a 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 4, and there are various restaurants nearby, making it a great place to stay for business trips or trips to Seoul!

값진 경험

You can book a standard room from 80,000 won, and it was convenient because it was easily accessible by subway. If you are looking for a Gangnam Station hotel or a Seoul boutique hotel with good facilities for the price in Seoul, I highly recommend it.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
