Fantastic 5.0
I was very satisfied with the hotel's location, accessibility to the night market, surrounding commercial area, hotel maintenance, facilities, and the friendliness of the staff. It's located right in front of the Hilton Hotel, and although it's not a 5-star hotel like the Hilton, the value for money and satisfaction are excellent. I would definitely visit again.
Location: It's located right next to the Pangyo City Hall. I was surprised that the place name was Pangyo, but even more surprisingly, the atmosphere here is exactly like Pangyo in Korea. It's a new city with sophisticated streets and luxurious, expensive department stores. The hotel itself is very modern, reflecting this atmosphere.
Transportation: It is very conveniently located, just a 3-minute walk from Pangyo Station, where the high-speed rail and subway meet. In addition, it is about a 17-20 minute walk from Liuhe Tourist Night Market, making it possible to walk back and forth.

Booking accommodations through Klook is so convenient! The service staff is super professional and considerate, providing detailed introductions and recommended itineraries. The resort is truly a vacation paradise – once you enter, you won't want to leave! You can see the dedication everywhere. It definitely lives up to its reputation and is a must-try experience. The dinosaurs and gorillas in the park move! The rooms are also very clean, and there are plenty of outlets everywhere, which is very convenient 👍

Great 4.0
The Sunday breakfast was abundant, with delicious options like silver thread rolls and various types of siu mai. They continued to replenish the dishes even around 9 AM. Additionally, they separate customers, with some foreign tourists dining on the second floor, which made for a pleasant dining environment. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the MRT station, about 15 minutes, but there are many restaurants, PX Mart supermarkets, and convenience stores along the way. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven downstairs, making it very convenient to eat or buy things nearby. The parking lot is downstairs with plenty of spaces, making parking very easy. The double room wasn't large, but it was very clean. Overall, it was a very good stay.

I love this hotel. it’s very simple, quiet but also clean. Staff are friendly. Rooms are small, but guests can bring lunch and eat at the restaurant anytime (except breakfast since it’s open and meals are included). It also feels safe since it’s across the police station and convenient location.
