- I wrote a review of my experience staying in the Executive Room at the Novotel Ambassador Dongdaemun Hotel, where I enjoyed tea time, happy hour, and the rooftop outdoor pool.
- The rooftop outdoor pool is currently operating as of late May and is available for adults aged 19 and above.
- Happy hour is operated in two sessions on weekends: session 1 is from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM and session 2 is from 7:15 PM to 8:45 PM.

Executive Room Reservation
Single bed twin type 2 364,705 won (1 night on weekends, Sat, Sun)
I searched for reservations on Yanolja, Yeogitte, but the #IExecutiveRoom wasn't available, so I booked it from ALL (Accor Live Limitless), which I heard of for the first time. I got a 5% discount.
Hotel reservations are the best when you search like crazy and get coupons or when you get discounts from credit cards you use.
- Breakfast for 2 + swimming pool included for 364,705 won
(Weekend price)
Considering the lounge happy hour, it's 182,353 won per person, which is good! Even if you go out to the suburbs, it's about this much for accommodation and transportation, so it was a perfect price for a #Weekend Staycation.
Executive Room Check-in
Make a reservation for happy hour/swimming pool in advance.
The Executive Lounge is on the 19th floor, and check-in is on the 20th floor.
I took the elevator from the 1st floor to the 20th floor.
We were assigned room 1907, and on weekends, both the swimming pool and happy hour are operated on a time-based system, so you can use it after making a reservation in advance, such as a two-part system.
🏝Swimming pool (on-site reservation system) reservation
You can choose one time per day from indoor or outdoor (1 time per day).
In other words, if you reserve in advance for the day you check out, you can use it.
You can't choose the time when you check in, so you can go directly to the swimming pool or call the front desk 0 from the room and make a reservation.
After we put down our luggage in the room, we made a reservation for the outdoor rooftop swimming pool for only one day by phone! (This is only for adults over the age of 19)

Executive Room with 2 Single Beds
Room 1907
The room is spacious, clean, and has a nice city view.
The bed was really comfortable.
2 bottles of water are free! Various glasses are provided, from wine glasses.
I haven't tried the Nespresso coffee.
There is no bathtub, but the bathroom is clean.
Amenities include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, all of which are provided.
No razor
Hair dryer is definitely there.
Welcome drink is provided if you add Kakao Talk Plus Friend.
Or exchange Dolfin/Pinpin doll.
For the 4th anniversary, they give it away for free if you add Novotel Dongdaemun as a friend on Kakao Talk!
I exchanged it for coffee at The Deli on the 1st floor.
We took out the coffee and enjoyed it comfortably while chatting in the room.
Executive Lounge Tea Time
Operates from 12-4pm
There were a few cookies, so I took it to-go as my boyfriend and I talked.
If you can't use tea time due to time on the day you check in, you can get it TO-GO when you check out.
Happy Hour
19th floor Executive Lounge
We were on the weekend, so we chose the first part and did it from 17:30-19:00.
There are many people waiting, so if you want a window seat or your desired seat, you should come out before 5:30 and line up.
We were the first in lineㅋㅋㅋ We were the ones who came out at 17:15ㅋㅋ
🍸🥂Lounge Happy Hour Alcohol
Wine, beer, carbonated drinks, fruit juice
2 red wines, 1 white wine, 2 sparkling wines
(Rosé is sparkling)
Vodka (Danzuka)
Rum (Bacardi)
Gin (Gordons)
Whiskey (Dewar's)
We were satisfied with the alcohol, ice, and glasses.
There was pasta that was filling, olives, fruit, cheese, soup, and popcorn that went well with happy hour drinks.
The drinks were delicious, so we ate well in the first part.
Looking at the darkening sky
Taking selfies
We enjoyed the happy hour leisurely.

Now let's change into our swimsuits and go to the rooftop.
Outdoor Rooftop Swimming Pool
This is the highlight of this staycation.
■Swimming pool use guidelines
*Only adults 19 years of age or older can enter the outdoor swimming pool.
*After checking in, you can make a reservation on-site or by calling 0 from your room and confirming availability. First-come, first-served basis (1 entry per day/Indoor or outdoor swimming pool can be selected).
This is the reason why I chose Novotel for my staycation.
Rooftop swimming pool and outdoor bar!
There is no changing room on the rooftop, so we were told to change into swimsuits in our rooms, put on bathrobes, and move.
I thought I needed a cap, but I didn't.
I changed and put on hotel slippers, and headed to the RF floor.
You can also go from the 20th floor indoor swimming pool to the 21st floor.
Tell your room number and get one blue beach towel.
Sunbeds are first-come, first-served, so whoever catches them first owns them!
So we couldn't catch them, we got one basket and put our stuff in it.
Oh my god, it's so pretty.
This is why people go to hotel outdoor swimming pools.
It was a bit cold to swim in the heated water even though it was July, so we had a shot each at the bar right next to the swimming pool.
- Jägermeister 1 shot 8,900 won
- Margarita 1 shot 19,000 won
The lighting in this good atmosphere
Our time was up, so we went back to the room, ordered hotel ice for 4,000 won (paid the next day), and played and slept.
Executive Breakfast
7:30-10:00
🍽Breakfast was also on the 19th floor, where we had happy hour yesterday.
We ate really well and checked out with a happy ending.
Parking
My friend was going to bring her car but she didn't because of the traffic.
The hotel called me the day before.
They said that parking was expected to be full early, so they would guide us to nearby parking. (Only one vehicle per room is allowed to park)
