Review
Lobby
The lobby is quite small. But that will not be a problem for sure. As it seems that people tend to go straight to their rooms.
The vibrant color of the lounge chairs, for sure pop out in this place. Making it look juvenile. So as modern. Along the rest of the decor. Which get painted with the characteristic orange tones that come from the warm lighting. That covers the entire hall. Giving life to this place. And getting rid of that boring โbusinessโ look.
Besides the lobby, there is a mini bar. In case you want to drink something while you wait for your room.
Reception
It seems that the theme of this hotel is โmoviesโ. Not only because of the drawings that decorate the reception. But also the murals that are placed in the rooms. Which we will show you later.
At the front desk, you must get your room key. And it is worth to mention, that if you arrive early and do not want to wait. You can just leave your baggages and go out to explore Seoul!
There, you can find a business corner. Where they have some laptops that you can freely use.
It is important to always bring the key with you. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the elevator. Even if you stay inside the hotel.
This is because the elevator only activates once you tap the room key.
Room
After walking through the narrow halls, you will be able to find your room.
Which I must say it was better than to what I expected! As it was pretty neat and clean. Plus the size was okay. Not too big, but not that small. I would say that is the perfect size for a couple.
What it is the highlight of this room is for sure the beds. Since they were really comfortable! Due to that, we had a hard time waking up at the morning.
Bathroom
The toilet was separate from the shower. Something I really liked! As it felt more private. Plus it had the bidet function.
As for the shower, at first I was shocked that it is transparent. But after I realized that it has a curtain, I felt relief.
Since it really covers the whole glass. As seen in the picture below.
The size of the shower is definitely for one person. So if you are two people, you must take turns to use it.
City view
You have a great city view from here. For sure, you can enjoy the landscape of the tall buildings.
And in front the window, there is a small desk. In case you want to do some work while looking at the outside.
Next part
In the next part of the article, we will talk about the amenities and facilities. So as the surroundings. Because of this, we recommend you to read it.
