Bangbae 2-dong Vacations from ￥56,388

I decided to treat myself to a one night stay at Paradise City at the end of my trip. Some of the reviews regarding the service and attitude from the staff made me worried, but I only experienced great service while I was there. The resort is nicely decorated and very large, with a lot of options for food/drinks as well as shopping and entertainment. Airport shuttle service is also available. However, the counter at the airport specifically has a sign to request that no questions be asked there unless you were a casino member...why? The signage for the shuttle bus was also only provided in Korean. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. The downsides were the early check-out time (11am), and the resort only having 3 small elevators (1 going to all levels, 1 going to odd-numbered levels, and 1 going to even-numbered levels....checking out was CHAOS as most elevators were fully packed and we had to wait a long time for one that was available. Considering the size of the resort, and its proximity to the airport (lots of suitcases!), this was a surprise to me. The pools were not as incredible as I thought they would be - the pools were quite small considering the number of guests and so it was very crowded with limited space for swimming...more like dipping. There are also a lot of families bringing their children here, so I wish there was an additional adult pool for those who want to relax. Overall, still a great luxurious stay.

Location is excellent. Room is small but not too bad if you don’t have big luggage. Staffs are friendly. Would stay there again next time.

Sometimes it was very loud. You could hear everyone coming and going and could hear people in their rooms. Rooms were cleaned every day and bed was very comfy. Would have liked to have more pillows. We liked having coffee and waters replenished every day.

Great Location, Spacious Room

1st time in Seoul for our group. The photos on the website were not what we expected. Room was rather small and could have used some refurbishment. There was a loft, but you could not stand there… I had to crawl from the ladder to my bed. What made up for the room was the staff. Very helpful! They provided free bottled water and had a laundry service across the street for us. The hotel was close to one of the subway stations and rather convenient. Would we stay there again?…. Probably not as it was too small for us. What made it okay was the staff’s friendliness and we were only there to shower/sleep since we were out the whole 7 days we stayed there. Also, get a room on the opposite side of the street as the sun makes the room very warm (even with the A/C) on.
