Luckily I have found this time many other hotels nearby that are livelier, more restaurants, more options of wines. Sadly spent 4 nights here. Service are mostly careless. Late arrival almost midnight without luggage service. Only one staff at check-in and busy with one guest having long inquiries. Superior Room was super old with old fashion design. Only shower in slippery bathtub. Luckily, I just slept 6 hours and had a shower then changed the room to Club Deluxe Room, which I booked for the rest 3 nights. Club Deluxe room is larger but still old fashion. There are a pair of Bose speakers on the ceiling but no way to use it and it doesn’t link to TV. Very unusual of step up and down to enter bathroom plus uneven floor for water way. Shower room cannot be closed properly and half of the bathroom is flooded after showers. Service at club both breakfast and dinner with service of entitled guests checked, showed a table, take soil plates. No assistance, no other service. Cooking persons are unfriendly, just perform the duty. No surprise that breakfast is same or similar everyday but evening dishes are the same every the other day. I strongly recommend to stay not more than 2 nights. We got so bored that we came down to drink in the lobby but it’s even worse - there is a Piano in the middle of the lobby but no performance. In the lobby bar there is a stage with piano and other equipment but no performance. Basic Wine by glass starts at 30,000 KRW and the selections are poor. Not even rose by glass at this age. I changed to a bar on 35 floor of Executive Building with hope if something including products, services, and environment are better without care of extra expenses but it doesn’t operate. It totally closes but still shows on the board of Food & Beverage outlets. 9.10a.m at the bakery, I asked a staff at the bakery whether it is possible to order some bakery and coffee to eat and drink at the lobby. She said, Yes and once I chose the bakery and started to order, she said you have to wait till 9.30am when the lobby seating area is opened. No seats at all in the big lobby. Busy with clouded people Nothing to I can feel impressed For sustainability management the hotel doesn’t provide amenities but buy from mini bar stock, claiming that to reduce waste. However, the bin to separate waste and recycle garbage is not available. Toiletries are set at bathtub and help yourself when you want to use the shower. Other hotels provided at both areas from my very frequent travel experience. Staffs using guests’ elevator are careless. None of them seem to ignore guests in the elevator. Some even continue talking lound and fast on the phone in the lift with many guests inside- really uncivilized service manner. Once asking for concierge to book a taxi to the airport, the female staff said, go outside to the main entrance and book there. This is bad service 4 star rather than 5 star. Compliments to the big business of the company and brand image management. No sneeze guard or cover at buffet line, I had breakfast in the club on 10Nov2023 a few guests coughed and sneezed over salad and fruits. Even I had booked a taxi to Inchoeon airport 7:45am. At the end I need to catch a taxi myself because receptionist told I booked a taxi at 17:45. Bad communication from confirmation with guest in written at the time of booking or wrong communication in system record among reception team or what so ever, the reception told me to go to main entrance and someone would help me get a taxi but in reality I had to catch taxi myself at rush hour without help from any staff. No luggage service at all from check out to taxi queue. I will never step in not only the hotel but also shopping malls under this brand. Never again!!!

This is my 2nd day here in Lotte Hotel Executive Tower in Seoul S. Korea. The hotel is very grand looking, the lobby area, elevators r like a palace. Rooms are OK too but i wish they werent carpeted. Somehow i feel carpet areas in public use r not very hygenic. Bed is very comfi, which is crutial to me. They have a buffet breakfast/brunch in the morning which is an additional cost on the top of the room rate which comes approx $500/night. The buffet is quiet something. There r lots of different stations from American type of breakfast to various Asian style hot n cold foods, u name it, they have it. I find it very impressive, if u eat at the buffet u can easily skip lunch even dinner. The service at the buffet was also very good. Our check- in process at the executive tower reception room was also impressive. There r lots of young kids working at the lobby, concierge & bell desks & they r always very polite & ready to help. Best part is they dont expect any tips. Only problem is their knowledge describing locations r quiet limited. I asked how to go to a place, very easy walk from the hotel, to 2 different concierge guys in the hotel. They both kind of knew & kind of explained but not very satisfactory. Eventually, i went out, walked myself & discovered the simplest way on my own. Overall so far it looks like a very nice hotel, i ll know better once i complete my weekly stay.

Stayed here 3 nights. Leads right to train station from escalator down across reception. Walk about 200m through the basement of Lotte Dept store to reach train station EULJIRO 1. EXIT at gates 5 or 6 to walk into Myeondong Street Market. To return, EXIT at gate 8 back in through Lotte basement, back to hotel ^^The morning receptionist "You are early (10.30am), Our check in only allowed at 3pm. Maybe you come back at 1pm.... Wait... maybe you come back at 2pm" (make up your mind, lady. Im really tired) ^^The afternoon receptionist drove me crazy at check-in. During the whole process, she said THREE times(I counted) , "your stay does not include breakfast, if you like breakfast please tell me now". I told her to "STOP SAYING THAT PLEASE, I know I didn't book breakfast" We wake super late and eat breakfast at the numerous food courts of Lotte Dept store in the basement.. (see picture) Other than that, room Cleaning was awesome, loved them giving me water as needed Note...bathroom is almost half the size of the 27 square meter bedroom. (shower, tub, heated toilet seat) Lovely view from 21st floor (see pic) total 22floors

Stayed here for five nights. The location is convenient given that it is attached to Lotte department store which is connected to the subway underground. That is the best thing about the hotel. The next best thing would be the lobby and the lifts which are nicely furbished and well maintained. However, once you step into the room, you would forget you are staying in a supposed 5 star luxury hotel. Apart from the dated fixtures and furnishings, the bathroom is poorly designed. The shower keeps flooding the bathroom (see picture). The blinds don't block the sunlight from streaming into the room from the bathroom. The AC is not cold enough for the thickness of the duvet. The room service is exorbitant (even for 5 star hotels) - think 20,000 krw for a fruit juice. The taste did not match the price. The service at the reception and concierge is okay. Not super helpful, not super warm. Wouldn't stay again, not for the price.

2824年 7月13日から 30年以上前に初めてソウルに来ましたが、その時に泊まったのがロッテホテルでした❗️ その頃は金浦空港での離発着❗️、、、今はセントレアからは仁川空港に着きますね❗️ ロッテホテルは当時できましてそれほど経っていませんでしたので、綺麗で美しく、素晴らしいホテルだと思いましたね‼️ 室内もロココ調の調度品だったと思います 😄😄、、、と記憶していますが 🤣🤣 ロッテには確か5回か6回宿泊していますね (≧∀≦) 今回はメインタワーでトリプル利用しましたが、すっきりと落ち着いた感じの室内です。 バスルームがガラス張りですが、木製のブラインドで調整できます❗️、、、ちょっと気恥ずかしい 🤣🤣 本館にも新館にも泊まりましたが、素敵な思い出のホテルですね 😄😄 地下の食品売り場もどんどん綺麗になっていますし、フードコートも美味しそう‼️ 残念ながら、今回はフードコートの利用はしませんでしたが、😢 ロビーのエスカレーターが、デパートの地下に直結していますのでいつでもお買い物に行けますね 😉😉 ロビーに観光客専用のプリペイドカード 【 WOWPASS 】の機械があるのを発見 😁😁 利用しましたが本当に便利でした、、、進んでますね〜 (≧∀≦) Suicaの様な機能がありますし、とても便利に使えました‼️、、、本当に便利 🎵 朝の食事は、31階のクラブラウンジでした❗️ 個人的には種類も充分で大変美味しくいただきましたよ❗️、、、美味しかったです❣️ スタッフの方々の素晴らしいサービスに感銘を受けました❗️、、、ファミリー全員が同じ意見でした 😊 落ち着いてらして丁寧で、尚且つ素早い身のこなしをされます 😁😁😁 久しぶりに素晴らしい接遇サービスをしっかりと受けた気がします‼️、、、感謝しかありません (o^^o) 久しぶりのロッテホテルでしたが、やはり素敵なホテルでした 🎵
