Experience of the stay
【2024 Soul Solo Trip】
This time it was a quick solo trip focused on skincare, and I stayed at Hotel Venue G for 2 nights.
Before going, I thought the number of coins would be relatively modest and that it would be a more casual hotel, but when I arrived, it felt like an ordinary business hotel, which was a relief.
✅ Convenient location with access to both Euljiro 3-ga Station (Lines 2, 3) and Jongno 3-ga Station (Lines 1, 3, 5).
The hotel is located by the river, so it gets a bit dark around there at night.
I personally didn't have an issue since I don't wander around much after dark while traveling alone, but for those who plan to shop or go out late at night, I'd recommend a hotel in a more favorable location.
✅ Myeongdong is walkable if you try.
✅ The lobby and rooms are clean and good value for money.
✅ Daily replenishment of two bottles of water.
✅ There's a bus stop in front that goes to Namdaemun Market on bus number 173. Quick stop to buy some seaweed at Namdaemun.
Experiences during the trip
I tried abalone porridge for the first time.
I usually have breakfast included but didn't have the chance to eat it, but this time I was on a solo trip with a reservation at HafH without meals, so I had the chance!
I had a light breakfast in my room and ate it for lunch. It had a gentle taste and was delicious—after overeating at night it really hit the spot. And the kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) was delicious too! The jellyfish-like dish in the upper right of the photo was also tasty! I think it had squid in it.
The vegetables in the middle above were onion and green chili.
When I dipped them in miso, the onions were sweet and delicious. Thank you for the meal!
For dinner on the second day, I was torn between yukke rice bowl and ganjang gejang, but in the end, I went to this restaurant in Gangnam (Hannam) that I found online was good even for solo diners.
The ganjang gejang (female crab)🦀, yangnyeom gejang, and ganjang saeu (shrimp) were all set together for 35,000 won.
It was sweet and really delicious~
They also had a menu in Japanese, so I felt reassured.
