Experience of the stay
Departed from Haneda at 1:30 PM on Asiana, arrived in Incheon in about 2 hours, took the KTX to Seoul, dropped off luggage at the hotel here.
Had breakfast at the grilled fish alley then did some early morning shopping at Dongdaemun NPH (Namdaemun market...bags, etc.), took the subway to Seongsu for lunch at Cafe Onion, went to the famous Minari (water celery) Yukhoe restaurant. Enjoyed coffee time and shopping at Olive Young, then moved a bit to book a reservation for Ganjang Gejang with the card concierge and enjoyed Ganjang Gejang soup, then did some shopping in Myeongdong and returned to the hotel for a cozy night.
Day 2:
Woke up early and had a set meal with lots of sesame in a hot pot.
Strolled around Insadong, visited Ssamzigil, found a delicious nearby restaurant for lunch and went shopping.
When three people gather, it's lively with all sorts of chatter and we had a lot of fun.
While using the option of public transport like trains and buses, we mostly moved by Uber, which wasn't much different from public transportation for three people.
The hotel had only a shower on the 12th floor, but I could see the N Seoul Tower from the window and there was a place to go outside with a beautiful night view.
Although there was no smoking space in the room, I could go to the end of the room to go outside where there were an ashtray and chairs.
Overall, it’s without a doubt convenient and fun wherever you go.

*It's been over a year, but the morning buffet was delicious.
