I visited Novotel Gangnam with my family for a wedding, and had a cup of coffee at the cafe on the first floor. As expected from a hotel lobby cafe, the prices were quite high, but the environment was luxurious enough to be expensive, so it was good value for money. The taste and aroma of the coffee are both acidic and savory at the same time, and the latte art is ordinary, but it looks clean and beautiful, so I like it. A cup of coffee in a quiet hotel lobby in downtown Gangnam brings healing.

I really like the quiet and calm atmosphere. I've been visiting The Square Buffet almost every year for several years and it's really good.

I visited with my family on our anniversary. The price of the hotel buffet has risen a lot these days, but if you make a reservation through Naver, you can get a discount and eat the hotel buffet at a good price, so I am very satisfied! The lamb ribs were really delicious and I was satisfied with every single dish! We made happy anniversary memories thanks to Novotel Ambassador Gangnam! Highly recommended

The bread at the lobby cafe is really delicious and the atmosphere is nice, but the service is disappointing. The service is different for each table, and it’s strangely unfriendly…

I visited because I liked the quiet atmosphere. Both the decaffeinated coffee and jujube tea tasted bland, which was disappointing considering the high price. I had a great time, but I am leaving a review in the hope that the taste of the drink could improve.

Gangnam Novotel Antre was a restaurant I frequented often, but it was so bad that I felt sorry for my acquaintances, the service was unpleasant, and the staff's attitude made me regret it. It doesn't taste very good and I rate it as a poor place in every way except for the private conversation in the room.

For my birthday, I went for a weekend course meal priced at 58,000 won. They said they couldn't choose the seat they wanted because reservations were full, but there were only empty seats. After eating the food, I understand why the place is empty. There is nothing delicious about the four courses at a hotel in the middle of Gangnam. The salad had no color at all and the sauce on the pasta was almost completely cooled so I couldn't even use it. Even if it is a high-end hotel, the weekend course may be reasonably priced, but it is not at the level of a regular a la carte menu. I don't think it's a course I'd go back to again as the coffee is all cold and there's no crema. As the main character today, I was very disappointed.
