호캉스를 즐기고 싶은 분들께❤️
제가 가본 호캉스 중에서 top 3 안에 드는 호텔이에요🥰 일단 룸컨디션도 너무 좋고 각 시설 하나하나가 아기자기하고 예뻤어요! 클럽 이용권 덕분에 삼시세끼도 다 먹을 수 있는 점이 제일 큰 장점이었습니다!! 조식은 그랜드 키친에서 먹어봤는데요 종류도 많고 뷰도 좋았습니당~ 직원분들도 모두 섬세하시고 친절하셔서 하루동안 공주가 된 기분…? ㅎㅎ 어쨋든 놀거리도 엄청 많아서 1박 2일이 너무 빠르게 지나갔던 기억이 있네용🥹 왕왕 추천합니닷❕

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.

🏨 롯데호텔 & 롯데월드 패키지 가족여행 후기
아이와 함께 특별한 추억 만들고 싶어서 롯데호텔 + 롯데월드 패키지로 다녀왔어요 :) 결론부터 말하면 아이 있는 가족 여행으로 정말 만족도 높은 코스였어요! ⸻ 🏨 롯데호텔 숙박 객실 컨디션은 역시 호텔답게 깔끔하고 쾌적했어요. 침구도 푹신해서 아이도 편하게 잘 자고, 저도 오랜만에 푹 쉬었네요. 무엇보다 좋았던 건 👉 롯데월드랑 연결되어 있어서 이동이 너무 편한 점! 아이 데리고 이동 많으면 힘든데 엘리베이터 타고 바로 이동 가능해서 동선 스트레스가 거의 없었어요 👍 ⸻ 🎡 롯데월드 이용 패키지에 포함된 티켓으로 입장했는데 아이랑 가기에는 진짜 최고였어요! • 놀이기구 다양하고 • 실내라서 날씨 영향 없음 • 아이들이 좋아할 포인트 많음 특히 아이가 놀이기구 타고 너무 좋아해서 계속 “또 타고 싶다” 할 정도였어요 😊 ⸻ 👶 아이 동반 여행으로 좋은 이유 ✔ 이동 동선 편함 (호텔 ↔ 롯데월드) ✔ 쉬다가 다시 놀러 가기 가능 ✔ 아이 체력에 맞춰 일정 조절 가능 중간에 호텔 들어와서 쉬었다가 다시 나갈 수 있는 게 진짜 큰 장점이에요. 👍 총평 아이랑 가는 여행이라면 👉 롯데호텔 + 롯데월드 패키지 완전 추천! 편의성, 재미, 휴식까지 다 챙길 수 있어서 가족 여행으로 만족도가 높았어요 :) 다음에도 기회 되면 다시 이용하고 싶어요!

가성비, 위치가 좋은 호텔
버스 정류장이 바로 앞에 있고 제가 가는 동선마다 이동이 편했어요! 호텔과 바로 이어진 24시간 무인 편의점 시설도 맘에들었어요. 파리바게트, 스타벅스, 팀호튼도 가까이 있더라구용 호텔 객실은 사이즈가 아담하긴 하지만, 혼자 이용하기엔 딱 좋았어요! 두명이면 가성비 최고일듯~ 날이 워낙 추웠던 날인데, 난방 해도 창문때문에 좀 추웠던 부분은 좀 아쉬웠어요.
