Good value and lication.

The staff was friendly and helpful. It is a little difficult being in another hotel..you have to remember to tell the taxi driver Koreana Hotel. The room was large. Nice lounge area for baby to crawl around. Washer, dryer, stove do not have English instructions and staff were not always at the welcome desk. No high chair for babies. The location was great.

Great location, prices, and cleaniness . Airport remo stops at the hotel front, so close to public transport and historical places. I love this place offered free use of washing machine and dryer, free coffee, filtered water machine, cozy office area, and cooking facilities. I will definitely come back if i am to stay longer in Seoul. The only downside was the centrally controlled room temp, I felt too warm( as it' s freezing outside)

I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional experience I had during my recent stay at Glocaloca Hotel in Seoul, Korea. Glocaloca Hotel is located on the 19th and 20th floors of the Koreana Hotel. We took the airport bus from Incheon Airport to Koreana Hotel, which was convenient and inexpensive for such a luxury bus. We arrived at the hotel early in the morning, giving us a full day of free time before check-in. There was a fully equipped kitchen with several varieties of ramen, cereals with milk, and a large coffee machine with an LCD touch dispenser. We enjoyed the amenities they offered and relaxed comfortably in the living room-styled lobby. The front desk team was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions and making my family feel right at home. The Glocaloca is situated in the heart of Seoul, it provided easy access to key attractions, dining options, and transportation, making our visit both convenient and enjoyable. Glocaloca has its own laundromat offered free on each floor. The room was spacious for the four of us and impeccably clean. All staff members demonstrated a high level of professionalism and friendliness. In particular, I would like to mention Jung-Eun (Heidi), and Justin who went above and beyond to assist my family with concierge help. I will certainly recommend your hotel to anyone traveling to Seoul, Korea. Thank you once again for making my family's visit a memorable one.

総合評価は最高です。 家族連れには間違いないホテルです。 諸先輩方のアドバイスからホテルの場所がわかりにくいという問題は解決できます。 朝はコーヒー、コーンフレーク、トースト、卵（料理可）は食べられます。 共有スペースが苦手な人はコーヒーを部屋に持ってくこともOK。朝から韓国ならではのインスタントラーメンも食べられます。 コンセントはcとseが使えました。 私達は4泊しましたがホテルにドラム式の洗濯機があるため、洗濯も心配ありませんでした。アメニティは歯ブラシ、シャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディソープがありました。
