We were exhausted from a day of travel. We booked a room for 3 people. When booking on hotels.com it asks for adults and child and the age. We had 2 adults and one 14 year old. When we were checking in she said we were being put in a room with 2 twin beds and no pull our couch or any other sleeping arrangements. We asked where our son was supposed to sleep (a twin bed is very small, just enough for 1 person). She had to get a manager who finally decided they would bring another twin bed into our room. He was laughing and saying that our reservation says we have 2 adults and a child. As if it even mattered at that point. Even if we had a five year old child where would he sleep? We went up to our room and realized just how small it was. We waited and then had to go down stairs to inquire when the bed would be brought because we were ready to go to sleep. They had to remove the very small lounger to make room for the extra bed. We paid way too much money for this room to have this type of accomodations. Also, we came back at 5pm the next day after a long day of sight seeing and our room was being made up. Why so late? Everytime the room was made up we had to ask for coffee, creamer etc. simple things were not restocked. Overall not impressed. There are better places to stay with better accommodations and less cost.

We had such an amazing time here, it was honestly almost perfect the only thing to note is that there were little to no vegetarian options for room service and staff didn’t seem very accommodating. I did see a vegetarian menu online but when I called to ask the staff member said it was for crew only. It was only a minor convenience as we didn’t mind eating out but it would have been nice to have the option to order room service as a veggie! Other than that, our room was great and the amenities were also very very good! As first timers in Seoul, we couldn’t have asked for a better location. Would recommend :)

Overall heat in Seoul during July/August 2024 is around 35degrees celcius. The entire building not getting enough AC. I have been staying as a long term guest and moved rooms 4 times. I'm in the Novotel suites which has better AC then the lower floor rooms but still doesn't go under 25.5degrees no matter how strong I leave the AC on 24hours. When I'm in the room I stay with Blackout curtains closed and minimum lights on. My child got prickly heat all over her back. I attempted to get discounts or refunds but the general mamagers on duty won't budge. The customer service you get is NOTHING BUT 5 star hotel level. The hotel complex is huge and they don't care. Drunk people at night are all around the CU convenience store within the hotel. I regret booking my lomg term stay prepaid thinking I can count on the brand. I should've chosen Marriott hotels as I usually do. JW Marriotts in Seoul operates definitely at a higher level. Personally never coming back.
