  – 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

  – 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.
