Experience of the stay
I was able to stay at Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong affordably using the travel subscription service HafH…! Ultimately, the standard twin room had a bathtub, and the room was spacious, perfect for relieving the fatigue of traveling.
Also, the fact that the popular dish 'Myeongdong Kyoja' is right in front of the hotel is a plus.
Solaria Nishitetsu Seoul Myeongdong is a 3-minute walk from Myeongdong Station on the subway. If you exit from exit 8 of Myeongdong Station, you arrive at the hotel almost straight away. It’s a super convenient location right in the heart of Myeongdong! However, I didn’t mind the noise from the busy streets at all.
The Japanese-style bathtub was large and very nice! Since many hotels in Seoul only have shower booths, this was greatly appreciated... It’s also reassuring that many staff members speak Japanese.

Right in front of Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is the always-busy Myeongdong Kyoja, which has earned the Bib Gourmand.
There are often lines, but the turnover rate is good, and I was seated in about 15 minutes. The dumplings and kalguksu all have a rich garlic flavor that’s addictive. It might have been the best menu item of my Korean trip! I want to go again!
I also wanted to visit Gwangjang Market for Banchan Yukhoe!
There are two locations for Banchan Yukhoe, and based on information that the annex is less crowded, I went to the annex.
I ordered Yukhoe, octopus sashimi, liver & beef tripe sashimi, and Makgeolli, totaling around 6,000 yen. It was delicious!
