Ah... the location was good... but I'm so disappointed.Never use the Kensington Hotel official website for reservations.I thought the reservation made through the official app had been canceled, and I didn't even receive a text message or email regarding room check-in for 6 months, so I thought it was canceled, but it turned out not to be the case.I received a text message asking me to register my advance information a day in advance just after the time when cancellation was possible?...... I had already booked the room with Agoda, so I had no idea that was it, and I thought it had been canceled 6 months ago, but it wasn't... and it wasn't canceled. They say... even adding breakfast is non-refundable...I stayed for 4 nights and 5 days through Agoda reservation + 2 more rooms for my parents, so I only have 3 rooms, but I couldn't cancel the reservation through the official app... They didn't cancel it.I lost 270,000 won per night. I don't think I'll ever come again.It was my fault for not checking the app because I thought it was canceled, but I was very disappointed in Kensington's name that there was no guidance.If I come to Gwangalli, I will use another hotel and I will not recommend it to others.Agoda is even cheaper now than the reservation price 6 months ago on the official website haha.When I entered the room, there was a lot of dust and hair falling in the bathroom, so I had to put up with it, haha...The bathroom door was very strange and wouldn't close.The safe's batteries are dead so it cannot be used.It was cold, but when I first came in, the temperature was set to 18 degrees and the air conditioner was turned on, so I almost caught a cold.Dust is falling from the air conditioner. I guess they haven't cleaned it.I wasted money by not providing important services, ruined my vacation mood on the last day, and all I can think about is the bad hotel.All European hotels cancel in this situation, but the service is disappointing.My family went on a trip, I made reservations, paid for everything, and spent a lot of money on this hotel, but I came here for no reason. I regret it so much.....I will not recommend here for my friends.I don't want to change my mind. I'm a friend of my own country.
