Experience of the stay
It takes about 10 minutes by taxi to Seoul Station, and it’s about a 3-minute walk to the nearest “Jongno 3-ga Station”. Additionally, it’s about a 10-minute walk to “Chungmuro Station”, making it very convenient for sightseeing and transportation.
Located in the Insadong area, where traditional streetscapes and modern shops coexist, it was a delightful atmosphere just to stroll around.
There is a convenience store on the first floor of the hotel, but when I stayed there at the end of May 2025, it was under renovation (scheduled from 5/30 to 6/15) and could not be used. However, I think it’s fine as there are other convenience stores nearby, so you don’t need to buy things beforehand.
There were staff who spoke Japanese at the front desk, and they were very accommodating in arranging taxis when checking out. Having Japanese support overseas is very helpful, especially for family trips with children.
The room was very clean and comfortable. Although they were thin, slippers were provided, and I received two bottles of mineral water every day. There was also a large sofa, creating a space to relax.
Furthermore, numerous paper cups were available for easy use, and there were many outlets next to the bed, so I didn’t have any trouble using my smartphone or charging devices.
The room key is not a card key but a code-type lock, and when checking out, I returned the card with the room number and code written on it for processing.
The bathroom only had a shower, and the partition was small, causing water to flow across the entire floor, even wetting the toilet. I brought beach sandals to prevent my child from slipping. It’s safe to use even when wet, so I especially recommend it for those with small children.
Experiences during the trip
I visited Lotte World.
It was convenient to access with one transfer from the hotel.
Being an indoor facility, it was a great point that I could enjoy it comfortably without being affected by the weather or heat, although some outdoor attractions were temporarily closed due to the heat.
There were many Pokémon, and my child was overjoyed.
The displayed waiting time for attractions was up to 40 minutes, but in reality, we were able to ride in a shorter time.
It was also great that I could save money by purchasing tickets in advance.
I enjoyed the night show and it turned out to be a fulfilling day.
