Experience of the stay
A stylish hotel with a gallery attached, it was clean and very comfortable to stay in.
The rooms were compact, with a sink inside, making it easy to use.
There was a sense of environmental consideration; amenities were in paper packaging, with soap, and they were reducing plastic. The pajamas were stylish and could even be purchased at the hotel.
I thought it was very Korean to receive samples of lotions and such at the reception.
The hotel staff were friendly, and communication was possible in both Japanese and English. They promptly addressed minor issues like the TV remote not working and not knowing the Wi-Fi password (which was posted on the door but I hadn't noticed).
The bus stop is just a 1-minute walk away, and there's a waiting area with air conditioning, so even during the hot season, I didn’t have to wait for the bus in the heat.
Experiences during the trip
The deciding factor for choosing this hotel was its close proximity to BTS, the representative K-pop group of South Korea!
Located nearby are their first dormitory before they became famous, the old agency, the Yui cafeteria where they used to often dine, the road featured in V's cover music video of Adele's song, and the Tsoongdong Park where you can see the members practicing their dance and swinging on swings, which is just a short walk across the street from the hotel.
We visited in the evening to avoid the daytime heat, and there were many people out for a walk, making the park a lovely place to relax.
Additionally, I was able to participate in a fan meeting with actor Nainu, who is famous from the drama "Please Marry My Husband", and to search for benches with the members' names in Seoul Forest Park, fully immersing myself in my favorite activities.
Karos Gille and Apgujeong are also nearby, making it a convenient location for dining and shopping. Given the heat, we mostly had light foods such as cold noodles, watermelon juice, and kimbap.
