Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The cleaning staff didn’t sweep the carpet as chips were left on the floor from previous night. Shampoo was not refilled, tissue was not refilled. Shower door was loose. Main room door is slight misaligned thus requiring extra effort to close. Noise from adjacent room were audible almost every night of our 5 night stay. Two nights had couple arguing through out the night. No shops or restaurants within 10-12 mins of walking. This should be a 3-4 star hotel at best.

Very nice hotel however, my only complaint would be the poor explanation during check in that the outdoor pool usage was an extra charge. We weren’t made aware of that until we went to use the pool and were told it was reserved for certain guests. The next day when I went to the front desk to inquire I was told my room didn’t include the pool, didn’t even know that was an additional fee when booking.

The hotel is amazing, and for the most part the staff were great. We stayed with a baby and requested a crib, but they said all they had was bed railings. But then on our last night we did get a crib so I guess they just didn’t have one available? Also they don’t allow any inflatables for babies in the pools. Food was great, the groceria was affordable and delicious. Buffet was very pricey which was a little surprising but the quality is there. Obviously the chefs table and Michelin star Chinese restaurant were the pricing you would expect. Overall we loved the hotel, and the view from the rooms was fantastic. Highly recommend.

The family room is very nice. It's a smart room. They clean and provide towels, water etc daily . Personnels are helpful and pleasant. Our view from the family room is amazing!! We can see the Seoul tower from our room. The only thing I don't like is the poor access to subway. We practically call Uber taxi each time. A bit hefty for the whole duration of our stay ( 4 days). Their buffet breakfast was yummy. Variety of choices. The cafe latte is a bum!! I would recommend this hotel when your in myeongdong area.
