Experience of the stay
The front desk staff, all speak Japanese, which is amazing. It gives a tremendous sense of security.
I stayed in a superior twin room, which had a spacious layout, so I could easily open two suitcases without a problem.
As with hotels in Korea, the amenities are minimal, so please bring your own toothbrush and slippers.
The room I stayed in had a bathtub and a washlet.
You will need an SE type adapter for the outlet.
There is a wowpass machine at the hotel behind.
I just went there to charge my pass, haha. You can also exchange money there.
The Jongno 3-ga and Euljiro 3-ga stations are nearby, and there's a bus stop right in front where the line buses stop, so we could walk to Gwangjang Market and easily catch the 173 bus from the bus stop in front of Abebe Bakery to return to the hotel. Myeongdong is also just a 15-minute walk away.
Additionally, just a short stroll away, there is a place to rent Tarunyi (rental bicycles), so I was able to enjoy riding back from Dongdaemun and various other activities. On the first day, I also went to a currency exchange place in Myeongdong by Tarunyi.
Experiences during the trip
This time I stayed for 4 nights with my daughter.
It was my third time in Seoul, but it was my daughter's first. She seemed to really like Gwangjang Market and even went three times for the classic Kkwabaegi (twisted doughnuts, a popular snack here).
The lines were incredible, so I also tried Kkwabaegi from a nearby shop this time, and it had a nice chewy dough and was delicious too, so I recommend it.
Also, there are new spots like Garlic Boy and The North Face outlet, not to mention Starbucks! It has been beautifully renovated and created a cozy space to relax.
One day, we extended our visit to Suwon!
We visited Suwon Hwaseong and the Starfield's Byeollmadang Library. We had a great time eating chicken on Chicken Street and it was full of activities.
