Summary of the Blog Post

Here’s my review of a one-night staycation at the Oakwood Premier COEX Center in Gangnam, Seoul.

Oakwood Premier Coex Center is located right next to COEX, making it easy to access various local amenities and facilities on foot. I stayed in a three-bedroom superior room which had three rooms and two bathrooms – perfect for group stays! The interior design was dark yet cozy and inviting.

The kitchen was fully equipped with cooking utensils just like a home-stay accommodation; there were also various appliances such as a large refrigerator, oven, mixer etc available for use during the stay! As for the bathrooms – one main bathroom with separate toilet and shower facilities and another simpler bathroom with basic amenities were provided; laundry facilities were also well prepared within the suite.

To pinpoint where you can get your money’s worth, I’ll be comparing rates from renowned hotel comparison platforms like ‘HotelsCombined,’ ‘SkyScanner,’ and ‘Trivago.’

Our criteria for this low-price hunt? A one-night stay from Wednesday to Thursday for two guests in a single room—breakfast excluded (as it often significantly bumps up costs).

5.1. Price Comparison via ‘HotelsCombined’

After searching through ‘HotelsCombined’, the best deal I found was $190 when booking through ‘Agoda’

The lowest price on ‘Sky Scanner’ is $214 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Trip.com’ and ‘Vio.com’.

5.3. Price Comparison via ‘Trivago’

The lowest price on ‘Trivago’ is $229 when booked through ‘Trip.com’.

5.4. Official Website of ”Oakwood Premier Coex Center”

I also explored prices directly from the ‘Oakwood Premier Coex Center’ official website. The lowest rate I found from the official website was USD 183.63.

After carefully analyzing all four sites, we found that the best deal for a stay at ‘Oakwood Premier Coex Center’ comes directly from their official website, with a price tag of USD 183.63. You might want to keep this information handy while booking.

★ Do bear in mind, these rock-bottom prices are subject to change based on your stay dates and when you’re conducting your search.

★ Also crucial to remember – today’s best deal doesn’t necessarily promise future savings.

★ Consider this ‘Lowest Price Analysis’ as a guiding light rather than an absolute rule.

★ For savvy hotel booking, I’d recommend revisiting these comparison sites during your accommodation planning phase – you never know when you might stumble upon an even better deal!”
