Seoul, South Korea + Add a trip

We stayed at the Ibis Myeong-dong which i s centrally located and directly opposite the Lotte Department store. The hotel itself is comfortable and clean. Prices are very reasonable considering how centrally located it is. The hotel offers a shuttle service that picks you up and drops you off for the airport limousine. Myeong-dong is a fun area to stay with lots to offer in terms of fashion shopping and food. The whole area comes alive from around 4pm onwards till about 10pm. A lot of japanese tourists like this area so store and restaurant vendors are conversant in japanese.

I am staying in Sommerset Service Appartment in Jognno area near the palace and Insadong area. Its clean, relaxing with good breakfast and fair prices. Usually for longer time leaving

I usually stay at the Shilla Hotel: http://www.shilla.net/en/seoul/index.jsp the place is amazing and the service is impeccable. I'm also a sucker for their pastry shop.

I stayed in an Apartment Hotel, Han Suites. It's about 5 minutes from Myeongdong. The place is usually reserved for long stays, but I was only there for about 4 nights and it was just fine. A very nice place, great service (receptionist spoke almost perfect English, so there were no troubles at all. The standard room was so much better and more spacious than I expected. There was a tiny kitchen with a dining table for two. All in all, it was a very satisfying stay.
