Très standard, rapport qualité prix prestations médiocre
Pros:

Pas grand chose, à l’exception de l’emplacement au bord de mer

Cons:

Hôtel trop grand , qui n’est pas adapté à la capacité du nombre de client qu’il peut recevoir. Le top service ne fonctionne pas, il faut attendre pour avoir une table au petit déjeuner, attendre les ascenseurs, attendre pour tout, alors que tu paies un certain prix et qu’on évite de te prévenir. Le petit déjeuner n’est pas extraordinaire, voir quelconque. Le personnel ne parle pas très bien anglais.

Un ottimo soggiorno in una splendida posizione sul mare. Lo consiglio, ma sarebbe perfetto se la piscina fosse inclusa n
Pros:

Hotel molto grande e moderno, in una posizione favolosa direttamente sul mare. La camera era bella, spaziosa e molto pulita. Il personale è stato sempre estremamente gentile e disponibile. La vista sul mare rende il soggiorno ancora più piacevole.

Cons:

L’unica cosa che mi ha sorpresa è che l’accesso alla piscina fosse a pagamento. Considerando che il prezzo dell’hotel non è basso, mi sarei aspettata che fosse incluso nel soggiorno. Forse è una prassi comune in Corea, ma per chi viene dall’Europa risulta piuttosto insolito.

ok
Pros:

Aamiainen oli ok.

Cons:

Uima-altaan käyttö oli hinnoitelty törkeän kalliiksi, eli tulopäivästämme alkaen hinta oli 40 000 wonia, mikä on noin 22 euroa. Tästä pitäisi paremmin tiedottaa etukäteen. Myös sauna oli maksullinen, mikä oli yllätys.

Lisäksi meille oli yllätys, että pöytätenniksen mm-kisoihin järjestetty kuljetus ei ollut meille mahdollinen, koska olimme varanneet matkan bookin.comin kautta eikä kisojen järjestäjän kautta.

Wonderful room and friendly staff!
Pros:

Spacious and great room, with good facilities inside the hotel and a great location right by the beach. Lots to do around, we only stayed for one night but I think it would be a good spot for a longer stay too. The highlight here were really the staff - super friendly and professional to a degree that stood out compared to some other places I've stayed at!

방은 비좀고 방에 욕조가 없고 화장실 바닥및 샤워장 수전실 바닥타일이 매우 미끄러워 위험해요!
그리고 호텔에 개 냄새가 너무 많이나요!
너무 방대하여 주차도 불편하고.
호텔이 너무 방대하여 정신이 없음!
