Positive: The staff is friendly. Brought me pancakes to my table :) Location is beautiful and walking distance from the park.
Negative: You need to be early for breakfast, otherwise you will have leftovers. We arrived around 9:20 on our first time and there was no pancakes. The dinner at the restaurant was not good..unfortunately the meat was dry. The starters was nice.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The atmosphere. A decadent dive in the 90s and 00s of a british themed hotel. The dining room is adorned with Diana and Charles photos. Even the menu is stuck in 1999. Felt like being a teenager again. Also is there another hotel in the world that let you sit in the driving seat of a real doubledecker?
Negative: Of course feeling like being in the 90s comes with a price. Moquettes are failing, reservoir pipes discharge directly in the floor waste, furniture lost its brilliant color. The korean stars that stayed at the hotel are dead for the most part. You should book some meal courses in advance, otherwise you won't be able to taste them. At 10 o' clock the breakfast buffet disbands.

Positive: Particular staff member (Phillip) at the front desk was very kind even when answering stupid questions, he made us feel welcome and we especially enjoyed his informative and calm demeanour. Proximity to mountains and convenience store, access to city center via bus, library with interesting old books, quiet unattended rooftop terrace.
Negative: Particular staff member (Park Jong-gyu) at the Korean restaurant seemed dismissive. When ordering food, he first pretended it was not possible to share a main dish, when we mentioned we’d go elsewhere then, he gave an okay. Later on, he decided to add on charges for the semi-buffet to our bill without informing us. The price of 17,900 KRW, which we only found out after looking at the receipt after lunch, was not the problem as it seemed reasonable. However, the waiter’s attitude as well as his willingness to make unilateral decisions without informing guests is highly unprofessional. Additionally, the possibility of adding the semi-buffet should absolutely be made obvious on the regular menu, which would have made avoiding this very unpleasant situation possible. Property seemed a bit dusty overall, some places had a somewhat questionable smell. Gym and/or swimming facilities would have been nice to have as well as information about the cable car closure in advance.
Summary: Read above.

Positive: Staff were exceptional. Excellent buffet breakfast with a large choice. Paint work and wall paper need attention in placed, typical of an aging hotel. A great stay in a world class locality.
