Experience of the stay
I stayed at Hotel Creto Myeongdong, which is just a few minutes' walk from Myeongdong Station on Line 4!
◆ Location & Access
It is easy to find, being directly behind Sejong Hotel, but to take a shortcut (going from Exit 10), you need to pass through a slightly narrow road, so if you are going back to the hotel late at night, I recommend going through Exit 9 and passing by L7 Myeongdong. It's very close to the main area of Myeongdong (definitely within walking distance), so shopping or going out for dinner is not an issue.
While I don't think there was a convenience store right in front, there were relatively nearby options.
◆ Front Desk
Although it's not a Japanese hotel, they did accommodate guests in Japanese. The front desk staff were very polite, which allowed me to feel at ease during my stay. They will keep large luggage for free both before check-in and after check-out. (In fact, I was surprised when the staff offered to keep my luggage after check-out...)
◆ Room
I stayed in a double room this time, and the size was more than sufficient (although it might not be possible to open two suitcases at once). The toilet and bathroom are combined but have a curtain divider, and the toilet can handle paper flushing (although I think some places still can’t).
I had no issues with the water pressure in the shower, so everything was satisfactory. As for amenities, although I believe there's a trend in Korea to scale back, there was a toothbrush provided. The slippers were disposable!
Personally, I was surprised to encounter a wireless charger in the room, as I had never come across one before, even though there are rooms with charging cables. Sometimes it can be difficult due to transformer issues (like getting unplugged immediately?), so having the wireless option was a significant plus!
Experiences during the trip
I had a quick trip to Korea for my favorite activities! Since it was certain I would be standing for a long time, I searched for a hotel where I could soak in a bathtub... and that's how I found this hotel. I've visited Korea many times, but I hadn't stayed in Myeongdong recently... I'm thrilled to have discovered a new hotel I would love to revisit!
Although I had to go to the airport the next day in the early afternoon, which made my stay too short, I'm looking forward to traveling again to enjoy the liveliness of Myeongdong that is returning!
