롯데월드 주변 숙소는 꼭 롯데호텔로 잡으세요
중간에 재입장을 할 수 있는게 체력충전 장난아닙니다.. 힘들이지않고 재밌게 놀았어요. 저는 숙소에 돈 쓰자는 주의가 아니었는데 좀 가치관이 바뀌었습니다. 애든 어른이든 중간에 체력충전 할수있는게 정말 큽니다. 그리고 밥도 정말 맛잇었어요. 조식도 라세느조식처럼 북적일줄 알았는데 사람도 적고 맛있고 정말 좋았습니다. 다음에 롷데월드에 오게된다면 또 예약하게 될거같아요.

아이들과 함께 즐거운시간 보냈어요
지하주차장부터 숙소까지 프라이빗하고 방음잘되고 아이들 소란에 눈치보지않고 하하호호 웃으며 보낸 1박이었습니다. 갑자기 추워진 날 가게되어 걱정이었는데 뜨끈한 물속에서 꼬맹이들도 너무 신나게놀았어요 야외수영장이 1층 사우나실을 통해 들어가는지라 이동하는동안 춥고 번거롭고.. 해서 야외수영장은 패쓰했는데 다음날 조식먹으면서 야외수영장 뷰를 보니 아쉽긴하더라구요 덜추운 날 다시 오고 싶어요^^ 참, 키즈라운지 4살,6살된 자매들 이용하기 너무좋았어요 12시~2시까지 휴식시간이라 1시간정도 이용한것이 아쉽네요. 미리 안내가 없었어서 더 아쉬웠어요. 키즈라운지는 시간확인 후 이용하세요!

출장으로 하루 잘 묵었습니다.
출장으로 하루 머물렀습니다. 외국인 투숙객이 거의 대부분이었어요. 침대에 아이팩도 있고 욕조에 스파용 입욕제도 있었어요. 불편함 없었고 특히나 침대에서 편히 잘 잤어요. 특히나 좋았던 건 방 온도를 컨트롤 할 수 있는 시스템이었어요. 밤에는 추워서 온도 높였는데 히터가 나오더라구요. 가격은. 한달전에 구매해서 조금 할인가격이었음에도 조금 부담스러운 가격이지만 안전함과 쾌적함 접근성 측면에서 너무 좋았습니다 😊 건물에 커피숍, 편의점도 있어서 편리했어요.

롯데월드 간다면~?!
귀여운 로티로니방! 성인2+아동2 미니베드 추가해서 편하게 잤어요^^ 침구 훌륭했어요! 8층 키즈라운지있는데 저희애들은 만8세이상이라 이용 못했어요~ 원더도어로 롯데월드 일찍 입장해서 좋았고 중간에 체크인한다고 나와서 쉬었다가 오후에 롯데월드 재입장했어요! 9:45-21:50 알차게 놀았습니다. 수영장 이용하고 룸서비스 조식 먹었는데 애들이 인생 미역국이라고 했어요! 저도 애들 낳고 먹은 미역국 이후로 최고로 맛있게 먹었어요. 직원분들 모두 친절하셨어요! 감동
