Experience of the stay
I was able to stay at HOTEL ANTEROOM SEOUL at a bargain with HafH...! In conclusion, it was a stylish hotel that matched the atmosphere of Garosu-gil, and it was clean and nice.
Hotel Ante Room Seoul is conveniently located just a 7-minute walk from Sinsa Station! It's easy to access since you can walk straight along the main road. There’s a gentle slope, so if you have a large suitcase, you might need to put in a little extra effort.
The pajamas are Ante Room original, feeling smooth and silky against the skin, very comfortable to wear.
On the rooftop of HOTEL ANTEROOM SEOUL, there is a bookstore and café bar called “Tellers 9.5.” I asked the staff about it, and they said that they do not take reservations for night seating. From the terrace, you can enjoy typical Seoul views like Namsan and the Seoul Tower across the Hangang River flowing through the heart of the city.
If you want to explore around Garosu-gil, it’s the perfect hotel location!

The first meal I had after arriving in Korea was at the local diner “Jangwon Restaurant,” just a minute's walk from Hotel Ante Room Seoul. It caught my attention as it was full of customers on my way to the hotel from Garosu-gil. It’s not mentioned in any guidebook and is frequented only by locals. It was cheap, delicious, and everyone was kind, so I was very satisfied!
While walking in Garosu-gil, I popped into Flour Artisan Bakery Cafe because it looked fashionable and the bread looked delicious. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating, making it perfect for a break. The cream brulee bread was absolutely delicious! The entire surface was caramelized, and it was filled with cream inside.
The very popular cosmetics shop Olive Young! The Olive Young Garosu-gil store is just down the main street in front of the hotel, and it’s less crowded and easier to shop than Myeongdong. I was glad to be able to purchase the sought-after Vussen28 whitening toothpaste! I’m currently using Vussen, and it really does have a strong whitening effect. I recommend it to anyone who wants to whiten their teeth!
