I had selected and paid for the free breakfast option for everyone, every night, but the front desk staff told me that children were not included and that I had to pay and additional.
I explained what they were talking about but I had to explain this twice at the front desk and twice again during breakfast.
It's absurd.

Beautiful hotel. Breakfast delicious.
Kind of weird that any normal changes to the room is only done through a third party booking system. Which they never returned my 3 phone calls while there. Lunch buffet I did not do because I was stopped at the door and told ahead of time is was $80.

Hotel itself was beautiful, cleaning maids do a fantastic job. Breakfast in the kings buffet was great but the Dinner though at the buffet isn’t worth 150k won- around £116 pp, and by 930 they rushing you out the door as close at 10pm.
Swimming pool is great throughout the day, as can be very humid. Great location for us, and like everywhere in Seoul - lots of local shops, restaurants etc nearby. The doormen are the stars of the place though/ massive help for us navigating/exploring - gave some great ideas where to go see the REAL Seoul.
Would stay there again.

Two parts to this review. On the positive side, reception staff were very helpful & beds were super comfy. For negative, outdoor pool came with hefty price tag and food not available in the pool terrace at lunchtime. Also, very child focused with minions stickers everywhere. Did not feel like a relaxed environment.
