Hotel Dengan Pools di Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

I really regret not staying at a hotel in Seoul and instead chose this one. Because of our schedule, we arrived very late at night, and my child didn't even want to go to sleep. In the morning, we had to check out early to catch our flight. This hotel also has a kids' club and a swimming pool, so my child could easily spend a whole day here without getting bored! Next time, I'll definitely stay for a couple more days!

This hotel offers good value for money, and the weekend rates aren't much higher than weekdays. You can enjoy bay views from the window. The hotel provides a shuttle service to and from Gimpo Airport and the subway station. The timetable was sent in an email before check-in. You only need to book the airport shuttle at the front desk; for others, you can just hop on. The downside is that the air conditioning in the room didn't seem to be adjustable. Even after turning it down, it remained quite warm, so I had to open the window to cool down.

The location and views were great, as it's within walking distance from Gwangmyeong Station. I stayed in a twin room, but the single beds were smaller than what you'd find in most twin rooms, which was a bit uncomfortable. Also, the bottled water, paper cups, and lids were just casually placed on top of the fridge (usually they're inside). It felt like there was a lack of attention to detail. Still, I had a good night's rest.

This AC Hotel by Marriott has a sleek and modern design. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a very quiet night's sleep. It's within walking distance to Geumjeong subway station, and getting a taxi to Incheon Airport is also very convenient. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The rooftop infinity pool offers amazing views. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Seoul.

I booked two stays back in July: Aug 6–16 and Aug 26–31. My first stay was great because I was upgraded, but this second stay in a standard room was a huge disappointment. There was no coffee machine in the room, and local phone calls didn't connect. Worse, the outlet behind the fridge had no power, forcing me to pull the fridge out and stretch a cord across the room to another outlet, leaving messy wires everywhere. Some light switches didn't work at all either. Since changing rooms mid-stay is too inconvenient, I didn't contact the front desk, but the lack of basic facility maintenance here is appalling. Inspect and fix basic room conditions before checking guests in. The quality of management here is worse than a cheap motel.

Former Australia soldiers of 3 RAR travelled to Kapyong, to commemorate the Battle of Kapyong 24 April 1951 (in 2025). This brilliant accommodation is located a 2 min stroll over the Gyeonggi-do river to the Australia & NZ memorial, where a friendly well equipped convenience store sits below it. The Host property was spotless, as picture online and well maintained. The owner aims to be non invasive (monitoring from Wi-Fi cameras on the outside of the property) and to protect it. He saw our struggles attempting to light fire on a cold night and quickly drove down to assist :). The lovely store holder closed up shop (when we tried to order food) to take us down to his local family restaurant (for authentic Korean food, which to tried to offer for free and we persistently and politely declined, fantastic local hospitality towards us and in general. The host then drove us back into the Gapeyoung Train station when we tried to order a Taxi. Fantastic experience and would stay here again and highly recommend it.

We stayed at the residence side and I must say it is one of the best, if not the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in on all of our travels. Very spacious, clean and NEW!!! All the staff members were very attentive, especially the manager for the WiFi support was courteous and responsive. I would highly recommend this hotel for quality, service and value for the money. Having the 24-hr CU (mini mart) in the 1st floor of the hotel was very convenient. Special shout out to our housekeeping staff, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Just few minor suggestions to the hotel management: 1. Don’t need a calendar, but do need clocks in the living room and the bedroom. 2. Need a trash can in the kitchen/dining table area. 3. Would be good to have a small dish rack, since guests are required to do the dishes 4. The sliding door from the master bedroom to the showers flaps around when closed if the heater or air is on. Needs to somehow stabilize it, it doesn’t make noise trying to sleep. With just few minor improvements it would be a “perfect” place to stay!

Overall, the hotel is very comfortable and clean, with sufficient room space. The staff are attentive and polite, and I especially appreciated the small gift upon check-in, which was a very thoughtful touch. The hotel's afternoon tea is also highly recommended. The only minor drawback is that the hotel's location is a bit far from Banqiao Station, requiring a shuttle bus.

It was a good place to rest and come. The owner was friendly and nice. A good place to heal while looking at the lake. The water in the sink was hot and came out well, but the bathtub was a bit cold because the door didn't come out even if I turned it on for a while to keep it warm. Next time, Vista was spacious and nice. The cat kept coming to the barbecue, so I personally didn't like it. If you don't like cats, you should go to room 102, which has a mosquito screen, or go to the second floor.

For a last minute booking the hotel was very accommodating. I was a bit skeptical with the first impression of the lobby giving a very motel vibe, as I went to my floor I was quite surprised as the look of the hallway was quite different than what I expected. Entering my room, I felt a very cozy and welcoming feeling (keep in mind). I do live in an apartment in another city in South Korea so I am used to the layouts of Korea apartments and I can say that the room was more of a studio type room with furniture than a hotel which for makes it more homey. Entering the room, they already provide indoor slippers. The layout with table and chairs and sink (what used to be a cooking area) gives it the studio apartment feeling. Very spacious and open and the TV (huge) is bigger than what most 5 star elegant hotels have. The bidet is on point and shower is a modern concept. They also provide a transformer for those who require or have electronics that require 110v charge.
