At check in we were told we received a free upgrade to a club room, even though we had only booked the most normal room. The receptionist explained the lounge had already closed, but we could have breakfast the next morning there. We had to fly from Gimpo Airport, the domestic airport, after our overnight stay, so we bought our shuttle bus tickets, provider none other than Korean Air, at the reception, charging it to our account wasn't a problem.
There were some differences between a club room and a standard room. The club room was slightly larger and had a LCD Flat Screen TV. There was a window between the bathroom and the bedroom and the toilet had more functions than the one in our previous room. There was a separate bath tub and shower. The amenities were the same.
We ordered room service, which was excellent as always and went to sleep. The bed was comfy, the shower and bath tub, too.
The next morning we went to the club lounge. The breakfast was buffet style and had a broad choice. We had the option to order two hot dishes. We didn't feel that hungry, so we took the continental only. It was delicious.
Check out went smooth and was quick.
It seems unusual, that foreigners want to go to Gimpo, because the bell boy was sure we were boarding the wrong shuttle and tried to tell us we had to queue at the front of the entrance and wait for the Incheon Airport shuttle bus. Some confusion ensued and we missed the first bus, but the wait for the second bus wasn't too long. The stop is at the designated bus stop a few meters down from the entrance to the hotel.
