AC Hotel Seoul Gangnam had been familiar to me before I ever stayed there. I had visited AC Kitchen several times for breakfast and already considered it one of the better hotel buffets in Seoul.

After several stays, mostly for Marriott mattress runs, I found Fairfield by Marriott Seoul convenient for Yeongdeungpo Station but limited by noise, basic rooms and increasingly weaker value at higher rates.
After 16 nights, I found The Link Seoul to be one of the strongest-value four-star Marriott hotels I have stayed at in Seoul. Its excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms and free laundry outweigh a location that is less convenient for conventional sightseeing.

The hotel does not have a swimming pool or an executive lounge. I first stayed here…
