Pros:

침대,베개 모두 깨끗하고 편안했습니다. 객실 내부도 청결했습니다. 욕실이 넓고 쾌적했습니다. 위치가 김대중컨벤션센터 앞이라 찾기가 편했습니다. 주차장이 넓어 좋았습니다.

Cons:

9층에 머물렀었는데 복도에서 찌린내 비슷한 냄새가 났습니다.

Pros:

깔끔하고 넓은 방. 훌륭한 뷰(10층). 예식장 바로 옆 위치함.

Cons:

전체 소등버튼이 입구쪽에 있어서 한참 찾았습니다... 보통 직관적으로 방 한가운데, 혹은 거실등 바로 아래에 있어야 하지 않을까요? 그리고 호텔 수영장인데 굳이 수모를 꼭 착용하게 해야 하는지 의문입니다.

Pros:

It’s quiet and peaceful environment around the hotel. Only a short stroll to the subway. There’s interesting cafe and restaurants nearby which we enjoyed a lovely dinner. Although it’s not central but I don’t feel the inconvenience since it’s very near to the KTX station, and airport which serve my purpose. There’s also a brand outlets mall within walking distance. The bedding is comfortable and expected of a 5 star hotel.

Cons:

The lobby can be refurbished to live up to the international brand, it feels a little tired and basic.
