Experience of the stay
My spouse and I stayed for two nights and three days at Sejong Hotel, located in Myeongdong, Korea. The first and foremost charm was undoubtedly the excellent location. It took us just about 30 seconds on foot from the exit of Myeongdong Station, making it a breeze to move around even with our suitcases. It served as a convenient base for our sightseeing and shopping adventures, significantly widening our scope for activities during the trip. Although the hotel carries a hint of historical architecture, the interior is elegantly designed with a calming luxury ambiance. We were fortunate to have our room upgraded, which allowed us to enjoy a spacious area comfortably. Additionally, thanks to our early reservation, we were able to stay with fewer coins than expected. The view from our window included Namsan Tower, providing a romantic backdrop for relaxing evenings together as a couple. The hotel also featured a bathtub, which was perfect for unwinding tired bodies after a day of exploring, ensuring we had restful nights. Although we couldn't use it this time, I hear there’s also a sauna, which I’d love to experience on our next visit.
The surrounding environment was exceptional, with many restaurants and shops lining the streets right outside the hotel, open until late at night, eliminating any concerns about dining options. Even for breakfast, there were many cafes and eateries just a short walk away, allowing us to pick according to our mood. Another convenience was a 7-Eleven located merely 30 seconds from the hotel, making it very handy for quick errands or snacks. Being in the heart of Myeongdong meant we could enjoy late-night shopping and street food without worrying about a long trek back to the hotel.
Sejong Hotel, with its great location, comfortable rooms, and well-equipped surroundings, felt like the perfect place for couples and honeymooners. Even with a short stay, it provided a fulfilling experience, making it a highly recommended accommodation.
Experiences during the trip
My recent trip to Seoul with my spouse was a wonderful experience, not only with sightseeing but also filled with gourmet food, shopping, and beauty treatments over three delightful days. On the first day, we ventured into the Gangnam area, starting our journey with beauty-related experiences that rejuvenated us. After enjoying some time for skincare and relaxation, we dined that night at 'Odari Chip', famous for its Kanjang Gejang in Gangnam. We were left in awe by the freshness and richness of the flavors, embracing the authentic food culture of the region. Upon returning to Myeongdong that night, the streets were lively, with stalls and shops bustling even at late hours, creating a joyful atmosphere. We savored street food while indulging in shopping, making the first night a thrilling representation of Korean culture.
On the second day, we visited the trendy area of Seongdong. We started our morning with fresh bread at the cafe 'Onion', and it exceeded our expectations, making for the best breakfast. While strolling through the chic streets and exploring shops, we enjoyed Yukke Bibimbap for lunch, which turned out to be the tastiest dish of our trip—an unforgettable flavor indeed. After that, we moved to the Hyundai Outlet in Dongdaemun for a day of shoe shopping. Returning to Myeongdong in the evening, we enjoyed Samgyeopsal in a lively street still filled with people. It was juicy and filling, perfect for dispelling any travel fatigue. The day was jam-packed with shopping and dining, leaving us feeling like time was not enough.
On our final day, we explored Lotte Mart at Seoul Station to hunt for souvenirs. We stocked up on a variety of staple foods and snacks, preparing for our departure. Transportation to the airport was seamless by train, and we were able to enjoy some last-minute shopping at recommended shops before our departure.
With a perfect blend of sightseeing, beauty, cuisine, and shopping, our three days in Korea were full of charm. Despite the short stay, we created so many beautiful memories that made us want to return soon.
