Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

We stayed for 5 nights with a child. The hotel is clean and new. Staff service was ok except for the torturously slow check in. Beautiful interiors but the design was more for aesthetics than with actual use in mind (eg no shelf space in the closet - just 4 very shallow drawers (could place 1 scarf in each) and a small compartment for clothes hanging). It is not child friendly. We paid for a suite with club access but because our child was not welcomed we never stepped foot into it. Location is not convenient unless you plan to spend most of your time in Lotte World because you need to cross the river for many attractions and restaurants.
