    •VERY Expensive Laundry charge. Laundry prices should be included in documents or black book provided in hotel •Not enough space in rooms. •Front desk staff/ everytime we talked to them the conversation felt uncomfortable and rushed. It felt like we were a burden when we asked them questions. It also felt like they were giving attitude. •No shower curtain •Stains on new/“clean” sheets/ pillowcases. .Front desk staff cares more about the wedding parties then the guests. •If a pool is provided, then it should be stated that a swimming cap is needed or atleast sold at the front desk of the pool. (Only thing stated to bring was swimming attire but nothing else) •Small bugs in sink at times.

    •The bed was comfortable •The view was nice •The price of our stay wasn’t bad •The room service workers were always polite and understanding.

    The building is pretty old and the room did not feel so clean. Staff wasnt very friendly but wasnt rude as well, for a hotel staff i would expect a little bit more. We rented an umbrella from the hotel when it was raining and there was a literal hole in the umbrella, it would be great to maybe purchase some new ones there.

    The location is really nice. No one really bothered us there, bed was really comfortable.

    I like its seat because I used the metro and its seat isn't so far with the metro. Moreover, the front staffs could use English language to connect. I think it is better. However, I didn't know the culture of Korea. Did they like to hold weddings in August? I met about 10 or 9 weddings during this weekend. It is interesting for me.

    the first two rooms were dirty and gross. after changing rooms twice we requested and paid to be upgraded to the movers rooms at $40/n.

    the 13th floor we moved to after we had to move two other times and paid for any grade was good value. the 1st room was like 80° and the air con didn’t work, neither did the regular temp control. they moved us to a room where the window opened, but it was horrible. stains on the walls and floors, the window latch was falling off… it was gross. we told the front desk, which were nice enough, but made us pay for an upgrade to the nicer rooms in the hotel, the upgrade cost $40/n. the Chinese restaurant was quite good. all individual rooms w doors, so we didn’t have to worry about CoVid.

    I booked a room with a double bed and bathtub, but instead they gave me a king-size bed and no bathtub. So sad. There were also a lot of mosquitoes in the room, and no shower shoes or bidet.

    The room had a good air conditioner and fast wifi.

    Everything else! The rooms were incredibly dirty, everything looked poorly maintained and old. There were electrical cables hanging in the shower and the toilet leaked with every flush. The fact that there are so many shows and events happening in their many halls means everything is chaotic and their lifts are not in sync so simply going to your floor was a 10 minute task. Lastly the hotel is not very international accesible, nothing is translated in English so we waited for 30 minutes at the restaurant reception to check in only to finally be told it’s the incorrect place.

    The location and size of the bed was great!

    the first room we checked into had such a dirty bathroom, there were dead insects in the shower tub. Obviously was not cleaned. During check in we were 3 travellers, and asked for an extra room card and the reception at first said it was policy to just give 1 and then gave an extra one quite unwillingly.
