I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which was right next to Lotte World, making it super convenient for our family outings. The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable, and the staff were really nice and friendly. However, the service sometimes felt a bit underwhelming for a five-star hotel, and the dining options could be improved. Overall, it offers good value for money.

This hotel has a fantastic location, just a stone's throw from Lotte World, which was super convenient for my family and me.
