Best Hotels in Gangnam District in Seoul?

[SueChic12]

I have an appointment booked later this year so I now have to sort hotel and flights. 

I am curious if anyone that has been to the area could recommend some good ones to stay in? I don't want nothing too expensive but I also do not want a budget hotel either.

How much a night are you looking to spend? The best ones are $500+ in my experience but that adds up fast if you are staying 2 weeks or longer. The best "cheap" one I have stayed in personally was the Hotel Newv. At the time, I was able to book it for $112 a night. I wouldn't even say it is cheap as the quality of everything in my room, the service, food, etc. was amazing. I guess cheap is usually $80 or less a night.

Your budget can be different from someone else's. 

L7 Gangnam by LOTTE Hotels gets really good reviews and is considered budget friendly. 

Four Points by Sheraton is another option offering good pricing and it is near a lot of beauty clinics.

If you want an apartment style hotel, COEX Hub Stay is a good option. I believe it was $55 a night when I last checked. It may have gone up since then. You get extra room/space and a small functional kitchen and dining space.

I stayed here! Not for when I was getting surgery or anything but when I was in Korea with some friends. We stayed at the hotel for 6 days. The rooms are quite small but everything is made up for when you realize you essentially have a mini apartment. We enjoyed our stay there and everyone was insanely friendly.
