Experience of the stay
It's been 15 years since my last visit to Korea! Initially, I planned to stay in Myeongdong, but I changed my mind at the last minute hoping for a chance to stroll around the Dongdaemun area after my daughter fell asleep, and it turned out to be a great decision!
The Residence Deluxe Double room seems to have various layouts? We were assigned a room with all areas – living room, bedroom, and washroom – separated by doors.
Thanks to the bedroom being separate, we were able to have some relaxing time as a couple after putting our daughter to bed.
There’s also a mini-kitchen which was convenient for plating takeout or preparing microwave rice!
I usually drink a lot of water, so having a water server was a great benefit.
Having a four-person dining table, in addition to the sofa and low table, made dining very easy. (When I checked in, they kindly offered to prepare a high chair for my daughter, which was also appreciated.)
Additionally, the hotel has a great pool and kids' room that all guests can use, and my daughter was thrilled!
Both going and returning, the airport limousine bus stops right in front, so I used the bus for the first time, and it was very comfortable with no transfers needed, luggage going to the trunk room, and spacious seats.
The ride took about 2 hours going and 1 hour 20 minutes returning.
Experiences during the trip
Famous places like Halmeoni Ttakkamari, Gwangjang Market, Gyeongchon Chicken, Kwangwagi, and Buchon Yukke are all within walking distance, so we never had trouble finding food! The location is also about 1,000 yen by taxi to the Anguk and Myeongdong areas, which have the London Bagel Museum and Artist Bakery, making this trip focused on food very enjoyable!
