Hi guys,
going to Seoul next month and am trying to book a hotel on the internet. I found an interesting one on hotelwide.com. Anyone ever used it? Since it's a Korean operating agency I never heard of it before. Just wondering if it's a legitimate agency. It's much cheaper using that agency than booking at the hotel directly. However I don't wanna be ripped off.
One more question, the hotel I am interested in is located in Gangnam-gu. Is that area ok or should I look for a hotel elsewhere?

I have never used hotelwide.com and it doesn't seem to have that many reviews. There are a couple here, at Tripadvisor. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g2-i510-k377039-Hotelwide_com_Anyone_used_it-Asia.html. If you are feeling iffy about using this site, you can try to find that same hotel at another, more well-known third party site. Most sites usually have the same hotel for about the same price, but you can sometimes find quite varying prices if you look around. Two hotel booking agencies that I have used in the past and have had no trouble with are agoda.com and hotelclub.com.
I am not sure about how good the location is for you. All I know about Gangnam-gu is that's where COEX Mall is located. You should ideally choose a hotel that is close to the places you want to visit and close to the subway since that will likely be your main method of transportation. You don't want to have to take a subway to the other end of the city everytime you want to go somewhere.

Thanks for your advice. I used another booking agency as I felt iffy about using that side. The price at that side were still cheaper as other sides (guess a korean agency gets special rates in korea) but I still used one of the more popular ones.
Haha, since there are so many places to visit which are all located in different places I have to take the subway from one end to the other anyway sometime. Just wanted to know if the area itself is ok. Sometimes you stay in a place where you can reach everything easily but the area itself have some strange visitors. (imagine stranding in a red light district *g* )
