Can't speak on PH or their breakfast, but breakfast at this hotel is quite extensive and high quality. Hotel is showing age though, and while refurbishment isn't necessarily required as they've kept the property immaculate, I completely understand them bringing it up to date to command a higher price point. I just hope they don't skimp out on building materials for the sake of making the hotel "pretty" like most other high end properties in Korea (ex: the Conrad). I've stayed at this hotel every time I'm in Korea, mainly for sentimental reasons, but I would have no qualms recommending it to others especially at their current price point. Rooms are big, facilities are nice, connected to COEX, Hyundai Department Store, and most importantly, a stones throw away from City Airport Terminal. Oh, and I have yet to find another hotel that provides room slippers as comfortable as theirs. lol.
