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

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!

전반적으로 만족했던 호텔후기
로카우스 호텔은 깔끔하고 위치도 좋아서 서울 곳곳을 이동하기에 편리했습니다. 군인 혜택이 있는 호텔이라 그런지 전체적인 분위기도 단정하고 좋았습니다. 객실 상태 역시 정리정돈이 잘 되어 있었지만, 이불에서 먼지가 너무 많이 날렸습니다. 안에 오리털 같은 충전재가 들어있는지는 모르겠지만 재채기가 날 정도로 먼지가 느껴져 조금 아쉬웠습니다. 조식도 맛있었고, 그 외에는 전반적으로 만족스러운 숙박이었습니다.

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.
