A new and polished hotel, Marinabay is everything you need for short stay. With a nice view for some rooms over the Marins, it’s well positioned. Being out of Central Seoul is in a fairly sparse part of the city and for restaurants and bars, you will need a 20-30min taxi into town. The hotel is very nice and the staff are very helpful. For business travelers it’s perfect as each room has a desk. Rooms are larger than average versus downtown hotel. Has a roof top pool and an indoor pool but as it’s February for my visit, I didn’t use either.
Excellent, excellent, excellent! It's so fancy, I think it's good. I'm mainly here to leave a review, but I'm not sure what to say. What should I say? I haven't actually stayed at the hotel myself; I just booked it for someone else. How many points can I get at most? How much do I need to type?
This was my second stay at this hotel for a business trip within a month and a half. Since it's a new property, the overall environment is very bright, though it might not be ideal for those sensitive to formaldehyde, as some rooms still have a strong smell. This time, the bathroom in my room looked fine on the surface, but the water drained incredibly slowly, forcing me to leave the door open while showering. I reported it to the front desk, but the issue wasn't resolved by the next evening, which was a bit disappointing. Also, the hotel only offers a simple Western breakfast, which might get boring quickly for guests staying for an extended period. However, the rooms are equipped with a washing machine and a cooking hob, making it very suitable for long-term business travelers.
Personally like it because it’s very clean, and they provide free parking. The only downside is that I never expect the traffic can be this bad, from hotel to gangnam takes about an hour, for 20km journey! Nonetheless, I’d stay back this hotel in future.
This is my second visit, having visited 4-5 years ago.
The sofas are spacious and the tables are long, so it's difficult to eat face-to-face, but it's nice to have a place to spread out your food and eat.
The TV isn't huge, but I was able to connect a separate device to watch Netflix and YouTube, in addition to Tving.
The breakfast here is so good value that I don't have to buy anything out, and I enjoy a comfortable meal here.
Oh, and the staff are always friendly.
Pros: Located right at Exit 3 of KINTEX Station, making it super convenient for visiting Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang, the waterpark, and Aqua Planet Ilsan.
The location is fantastic, surrounded by large commercial complexes and residential areas. Convenience stores, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and medium-sized supermarkets are all very close by!
The hotel is divided into an East Wing and a West Wing; I stayed in the East Wing this time.
The service attitude was excellent, and the front desk was very responsive. However...
It seems to fall short of a five-star hotel standard. I stayed with my child, and although the hotel's description welcomes children, there were absolutely no amenities for kids – no children's slippers, bathrobes, or even toothbrushes and toothpaste! Compared to many five-star hotels I've stayed at in Tokyo, the attention to detail here is lacking.
There's a French pastry shop on the first floor, which closes at 6 PM.
On the third floor, there's a gym and a sauna…
The room view was decent, and the night view was also beautiful. The TV had YouTube, which kept my child entertained. There's no bathtub, but the shower had excellent water pressure – very comfortable!
However, there's a strange feeling of stinginess – just one comb, one shower cap, a small box with cotton swabs, and a tiny bar of soap. That's it.
Japanese five-star hotels are usually so generous with amenities; I don't want to compare, but it's hard not to ㅠㅠ.
The desk and wardrobe in the room both had some damage and chipped paint.
I actually had to switch from the first bathrobe to the second after showering because the first one was so old and thin; the second one was new and in good condition. It really highlights the difference when you compare them.
If there were other five-star hotels nearby, I'd probably choose a different one next time. My overall stay felt more like a three-star experience, falling short of a five-star standard.
I think the current rating of 8.0/10 is totally underrated!!!
For the price it offers great value to the level of a 4-star hotel. In Tokyo, for example , a similar wide room would cost at least double.
Modern and clean room, amazing sunrise with marina view. Costs 9000 KRW in the morning and 13000 KRW in the evening to/from Gimpo airport, and just 15 min away.
I would definitely stay again if I have a layover in Seoul
With a stay at Konjiam Resort, you'll be all set to unwind after a day of travel.
Head to the indoor pool to get some exercise or simply relax. Keep up your fitness regimen with a visit to the gym.
When driving to the property, you can use the free parking lot.
The room was a bit compact. I booked a massage room, which came with a massage chair. Surprisingly, this room type included breakfast, but unfortunately, the chef had an accident during my stay, so breakfast wasn't available. The room itself was very new and clean, and it's not far from Suwon Station, less than a 10-minute walk.
It's pretty good and very convenient. There's a CU convenience store on the first floor, and I went there almost every night to buy a bunch of snacks. It's really friendly for business travelers; it's super easy to grab something to eat and drink after finishing work!

Very Good
WWangxinWe stayed here for a business trip. It's very close to the Seoul outlets, which makes shopping super convenient. The only downside is that the dining options nearby aren't great. We arrived at the hotel around 9 PM, and the only place still open was the fried chicken restaurant run by the hotel on the first floor. Everyone there was Chinese, too.
LLiangouni93The hotel is surrounded by plenty of dining options, which is incredibly convenient. The area really comes alive at night. While the room size is a bit on the smaller side, the facilities are brand new and everything is spotless. Plus, on the second floor, you can do some light cooking, and there are small meeting rooms, a gym, and a laundry room available. I'd definitely recommend staying here for business trips.

GGuest UserThe service was excellent . They will try their very best for you guys to be comfortable.
Location wise was excellent everything is near specially the bus at the train station.
AAnonymous UserIf you like „industrial chic“ style, this hotel is for you. Tall rooms, felt very airy. Stayed in 27th floor (top floor) and the view was quite nice.
Besides that; newish 4* hotel with all the perks you get in Korea (no amenities besides soap/conditioner by law), the bed was comfortable, nice small sofa/table, lot of storage space (really liked that), and a great no-frills shower (not a rainshower, just steady temperature and strong pressure)
The pool is also awesome, as it works both as an outdoor version (first day was 27C warm so it was fully open) and second day it was raining at 14C, and the pool was fully indoor. Really well designed, loved to swim in both conditions.
Transportation is convenient, for the cheap metro you have to check the timetables as it drives only about once an hour, but high speed trains are available too and bring you to downtown Seoul in about 15min for not that much more money. Metro is convenient if you go to other locations rather than Seoul city centre.
Direct airport limousine bus available too, for 16k Won. If you are 3 people or more, can be cheaper to hire a taxi/van.
Last but not least, there are a lot of restaurants just around the hotel, and the whole area is more lively than what you might think. From breakfast till 3am late night food/drinks, there is everything.
So overall, I really liked the place and will stay again here
CChewYSIt was very good impression as my 1st times visiting in Korea because the hotel staffs were incredible friendly and helpful. However this is very difficult to get taxi as industry area. Overall is good for me and the hotel is valueable to stay.
22026mashangyouqianThe location is a bit far from the airport and Myeongdong, but everything else was great. The room was incredibly comfortable with a fantastic design. The service was excellent, and they even upgraded my room. This was the best hotel experience I had during my trip to Korea.
GGuest UserWe stayed at the residence side and I must say it is one of the best, if not the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in on all of our travels. Very spacious, clean and NEW!!!
All the staff members were very attentive, especially the manager for the WiFi support was courteous and responsive. I would highly recommend this hotel for quality, service and value for the money. Having the 24-hr CU (mini mart) in the 1st floor of the hotel was very convenient.
Special shout out to our housekeeping staff, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Just few minor suggestions to the hotel management:
1. Don’t need a calendar, but do need clocks in the living room and the bedroom.
2. Need a trash can in the kitchen/dining table area.
3. Would be good to have a small dish rack, since guests are required to do the dishes
4. The sliding door from the master bedroom to the showers flaps around when closed if the heater or air is on. Needs to somehow stabilize it, it doesn’t make noise trying to sleep.
With just few minor improvements it would be a “perfect” place to stay!

TThomas SuzhouThe hotel is convenient located in Dongtan, adjacent to an area with many small shops and restaurants. The staff at the reception is friendly and they can speak English. In the same building, with an entrance to the reception area on the first floor, is a coffee shop (Coffee Beans) with very good coffee, tea, donuts and cakes and very friendly staff. So you don't need to pay for breakfast at the hotel.
I did not like the large bright screen fixed to the wall in the room to control air conditioning (that additionally can be controlled by a small operation panel), lighting and 100 more options, all not accessible, because the language can not be changed to English (or that option is so deeply hidden in the Korean menu that I did not find it).
I did not find how to switch this panel off at night, and it was so bright that it was really disturbing.
Summary: I have been in that hotel before, will go there again, but I hope they can do something about this large and bright touch panel. 😁
