Positief: Netheid, staat van de accommodatie en faciliteiten
Negatief: Voorzieningen
Who this hotel is for: Customers who want a bargain on luxuriousness:
- Its price point compared to other 5 star major hotels in Seoul versus competitors like Shilla, Intercontinental, etc.
- Small luxury details: an example would be the gym room/swimming pool locker room. There was a separate section with mirrors and additional creams (e.g. face toners and emulsions) to chillax after your workout.
- For runners, there is a nice running trail looping a lake near-by
Who this hotel is not for: people who value efficiency
- The elevator experience took so long that it was ridiculous. It took us at least 40 minutes to get to the ground floor during the peak hour.
- Their infrastructure simply could not handle a high traffic season. We stayed at floor 17. we waited for 10 minutes just for one elevator to arrive, only to find out its full, so we had to wait for the next one and all took a ride up to floor 32 and head back down while the elevator stopped at every single floor. What’s worse was you then have to switch to get another elevator from floor 6. I joked with my wife and said let’s just jump off the building from floor 6. I got a PTSD afterwards and avoided going back to the hotel as much as possible.
- For the avoidance of doubt, I have also stayed at other hotels during the peak holiday season, e.g. Shilla, Intercontinental. This issue really is specific to Sofitel.
