Experience of the stay
The hotel is a long-established one located just outside Myeongdong Station. I always stay at Sejong Hotel when visiting Korea. It is very convenient because it is close to the station and there are many restaurants that stay open late. If you run into any issues, I recommend consulting the front desk staff right away. Many of them can communicate in Japanese, which is reassuring. The hotel is a bit dated but is kept clean, so there are no significant inconveniences. It is incredibly convenient to have an airport express bus departing from just outside the hotel. Even if you have an early morning flight, to arrive at Incheon Airport three hours in advance, you would need to leave by 6 AM, which can be difficult if you have heavy luggage to carry on the train. With the express bus, you can arrive at the airport in about an hour, and it feels like no time has passed when you’re relaxing in the comfortable seats. I'm looking forward to using this hotel again on my next visit to Korea.
Experiences during the trip
Usually, I am in a rush during short trips to Korea for my favorite artists' concerts, but this time I had a little extra time for sightseeing. I was able to visit famous locations featured in dramas and enjoyed dining at various restaurants. There is an instant ramen shop next to the hotel where they prepare your favorite ramen with toppings of your choice. It’s comforting after a tiring live performance. Many places in Myeongdong are open late, so I also enjoyed chicken and beer. I hope to continue exploring dining places around the hotel during my next otaku activities in Korea!
