9/10 Wonderful! (1,004 reviews)

OMG this is a luxury apartment in the sky but the Classic 500 is run as a hotel, the size of the room was amazing, and if it had a washer dryer that helped as South Korea was the last leg of our journey. The only negative but this seems to apply to not just South Korea but Japan as well, Hotels in this region charge to use the swimming pool. However I would come back to this place tomorrow if I had the chance. Amazing staff and an amazing 5 star experience
