Beautiful lounge with waterfalls but will not return. I booked hotel to relax in the sauna only to find out it’s an extra charge and closes early. Bed was lop sided and staff not really helpful. “We are sorry your room temperature is too warm but it’s central control…we’re sorry we can’t help you order food to your room using an outside app…we’re sorry we can’t provide you with a vacuum cleaner to use on your shrink wrap…sorry…sorry

Great Hotel and Location
Great hotel in a good location. Near to plenty of shops and restaurants. The metro is only a few minuets walk plus there is a bus service outside with direct connections to Incheon airport.
Finally managed to use the swimming pool this trip. Although not that big, if you time it well its pretty empty. Great changing room facilities. They even supply your own t-shirt and swimming shorts if you forget yours.
