My Experience at the Amaris Hotel La Codefin Kemang
I had a pleasant stay at the Amaris Hotel La Codefin Kemang. The following explains my experience at the hotel.
Overall, I Slept Well
I had a big bed all to myself. The bed was very comfortable, so I was happy to spend two nights at the hotel.
My room’s location wasn’t the best, though. It was close to the hotel’s restaurant. Thus, there was a lot of noise during the day. Furthermore, the noise woke me up early in the morning. But overall, I slept well.
If you’re not an early bird, you might want to request a room further from the restaurant.
The Hotel Facilities Were Decent
I was happy when I saw a work table in my hotel room. There wasn’t a work table in my room at Pop! Hotel Kemang. So having a work table in my room at the Amaris Hotel La Codefin Kemang was a nice change. I didn’t have to work on my bed.
Unfortunately, the Internet connection at the time wasn’t satisfactory. I didn’t think it was terrible, though. It was just unstable most of the time.
As for the bathroom, it’s clean and spacious. The bathroom sink was a little clogged, though.
Free coffee and tea were provided in the lobby. Guests can also read newspapers in the lobby while waiting for a taxi.
The hotel offered both smoking and non-smoking rooms. I picked the non-smoking room; it had a cable TV. I spent my weekend watching HBO, Discovery Channel and National Geographic. What a wonderful way to relax after a long hectic week!
I appreciate the hotel’s 24-hour front desk, always ready to assist guests with their accommodation needs. To me, such a service is important because not all hotels offer a 24-hour front desk.
The Hotel Location Is Good
The Lotte Supermarket is next to the hotel. So whenever I was hungry, I simply walked to the supermarket to grab something to eat. The supermarket had almost everything I needed.
I had one of my meals at the Food Station inside the supermarket. Most of the food there was western and Korean. There were also sushi and cakes available. Next to it was a bakery with plenty of fresh bread to choose from.
Amaris Hotel La Codefin Kemang doesn’t offer any massage service, but guests can always visit the spa and massage centres nearby.
I Was Pleased With the Hotel’s Breakfast
The hotel’s breakfast was alright. It wasn’t awesome, but it wasn’t awful, either. Just nice.
I started my day with a nice hot tea. The food choices were limited. But they were enough to keep everyone full and happy.
The hotel offers a different menu every day. I had tempe, rice congee, snacks, acar and rice during my stay. There were also fruits, coffee, cold water, and noodle.
I Noticed Dirty Plates on the Hotel Floors
When I was looking for my room, I noticed dirty plates on the floors along the hallway. Hotel guests had left their dirty plates and leftovers outside their rooms. The sight of the rubbish didn’t bother me much, but it might bother some guests.
Would I Stay at the Amaris Hotel La Codefin Kemang Again?
I would stay at the Amaris Hotel La Codefin Kemang again if I needed accommodation in Kemang. The Amaris Hotel La Codefin Kemang wasn’t the cheapest hotel in Kemang – probably still isn’t the cheapest today – but it’s a value for money. It has good online reviews for good reasons.
