  • Annie from Ireland (9/10)

    – We were a family of 5 and booked two rooms that were connected
    – Rooms were spacious enough
    – No issue with wifi
    – Comfortable beds
    – Decent water pressure from the shower
    – Charging stations in the rooms for your phone
    – Air conditioning you can control in the room
    – Rooms are soundproofed
    – Lots of variety at the buffet breakfast (lots of different types of Asian food, pho, udon noodle soup, many types of stir frys, curries, dumplings, fried rice, fried noodles, pasta, rice porridge, soups, western breakfast with eggs many ways, bacon, sausages, potatoes, pancakes, waffles, quiche, smoked salmon, continental breakfast with deli meat, cheeses, cereal, yoghurts, salads, fruit, pastries, bread, bagels, muffins, juice, tea/coffee, yakult
    – Large indoor swimming pool (have to book, only allowed 1 x 3 hour session a day per person, need to wear a cap but the hotel provides them). I did want an indoor pool so we wouldn’t have to worry about being in the sun
    – Amazing staff with excellent customer service (thank you to manager Alex for being so kind and generous)
    – Hotel was located in a safe area, short walk from restaurants, retail shops, the subway
    – Coex Shopping mall and Lotte World are a shot cab ride away
    – Good value for money as kids stayed free with breakfast included for them
    – The airport limousine bus stops at the hotel. We caught this bus from Icheon airport. Took approximately 1 hour. Good value. We didn’t use this service to go back to the airport because it would have taken 2 hours in traffic
    – Seoul was the last destination of our 6 week holiday abroad. Staying in this hotel was a lovely way to end our trip before flying back to our home country

  • David from Australia (8/10)

    Comfortable bed, location close to subway. Wifi worked well. Gym was good.

  • Lucy from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great pool and jacuzzi, wish I had paid more for the sauna and use of the bath tho! Got lots of help from staff whenever I needed it like getting someone to help bring our bags down and whatnot. It was a really comfortable stay. I'd definitely staying here again just longer or maybe in a different branch.
