Pros:

L’emplacement uniquement

Cons:

Service complètement dépersonnalisé
La réception est au 15 ème étage et ce n’est pas indiqué alors pour faire le check bonjour !!!
Et en p’us l’accueil est très moyen.
Les clients sont des ghosts si vous n’a besoin de rien allez dans cet hôtel vous pourrez passer tout votre temps sans croiser le personnel étrange quand même.
Ils ne sont pas orientés clients du tout.

La propreté est moyenne.

Je suis vraiment déçue 😞

Séjour à Gwangalli Beach
Pros:

Emplacement incroyable sur la plage de Gwangalli. Personnel agréable. Grand lit

Cons:

Ascenseur un peu long lorsqu'il y a du monde (15 étages, c'est donc normal) et déception pour le petit déjeuner du dernier jour. Nous sommes arrivés vers 9h et il n'y avait presque plus rien. Dommage

Excellent rapport qualité-prix
Pros:

L'emplacement sur la plage, le barbecue sur le rooftop 👍

Cons:

La réception au 15e étage, assez déstabilisant pour un européen mais bien indiquée. L'hôtel n'est pas face à la mer, ce qui fait que beaucoup de chambres ont une vue 'ville'.

Bello
Pros:

Posizione bellissima, camera spaziosa e accogliente, soprattutto molto silenzioso!!

Cons:

Potrebbero offrire un welcome kit con più caffè e magari anche del tè. Inoltre c'era solo un paio di ciabatte di servizio.
