Experience of the stay
A calm and relatively new hotel with very clean rooms.
There were no issues with the air conditioning or water pressure.
The toilet can flush toilet paper.
The front desk staff is polite.
There is a vending machine in the lobby (see photo for contents).
There is also a cafe, and it seems breakfast is available if reserved in advance.
Since there are no amenities except for soap, it's recommended to bring your own toothbrush and slippers.
If you bring a long charging cord (over 2 meters), you can use your phone charger by the bed (you'll need a Korean adapter).
The desk turns into a dresser when you open the lid, which was convenient.
Transport is easy, being within a 5-minute walk from both Ultrichro Samga (Euljiro 3-ga) and Jongno Samga (Jongno 3-ga), but I recommend Jongno Samga (Jongno 3-ga) since it has an escalator to ground level (Exit 14), making it easier when carrying a suitcase.
There's a river right in front, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
You can also walk down the stairs to the promenade.
It's a quiet area, so there aren't many people at night, but the riverside promenade is illuminated, and it faces a larger street, providing good visibility, so it does not feel lonely.
There's a convenience store, Seven Eleven, nearby.
I didn’t get a chance to visit, but Myeong-dong and the popular Anguk areas are also close by, so I really think the location is excellent.
I plan to visit Korea again soon, but since my stays are often short, convenient and familiar locations are efficient and good value, so I made my next reservation at Venue G.
Experiences during the trip
It was great to be within walking distance from the hotel, especially to Ikseon-dong near Jongno 3-ga station.
There are many cute cafes, bakeries, and shops renovated from traditional Hanok along the back streets.
I randomly entered a bagel shop which was really delicious.
Also, the famous Gwangjang Market is about a 15-minute walk, so I went for a stroll combined with breakfast.
The hot and chewy tteokbokki, and the medicated gimbap made with perilla, prepared right in front of me, along with the complementary odeng soup, were all amazing.
On the way back to the hotel along the riverside (not on the promenade, but along the sidewalk next to the road), I also discovered a filming location of Vincenzo's Geumga Plaza.
