🌟A good hotel, worthy of a detailed review! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌟
It was my first time to take my mother and daughter to Seoul. There weren't many options for a threesome. I found this hotel online and saw the pictures. It looked very interesting. It had a loft and a high ceiling (I felt it was good before I checked in).
I read both good and bad reviews online. I didn't want to disappoint my family, and I was a little worried, but I also tended to trust my instincts. I decided to stay here during my five days in Seoul~
When I checked in locally and saw this hotel, I felt so warm!
There is a large tea room and everything feels so thoughtful!
Some people commented that this restaurant should not be called a "hotel" because it is too family-style.
But if you have stayed in scenic area hotels or B&Bs in Japan and Taiwan, this one is similar to that.
But the living feeling is not bad, on the contrary, the attentiveness of the store can be seen everywhere❤️
In addition to the comments about unlimited bottled water,
Breadsticks are available at breakfast time (before 10am) (but it was cereal before I saw the reviews?
So I guess it's not a fixed style) The bread loaves taste like milk, there is a microwave in the tea room, and it's so soft and delicious.
(Personally, I feel that this price range has a lot of space in Seoul and it actually doesn’t need to provide these small breakfast items, which is already very conscientious. There are hot and cold water dispensers, kitchen paper, wet wipes, and instant noodle paper bowls on the counter in the tea room! There are also two types of boiled coffee and three-in-one coffee for guests to choose from! So thoughtful 👍🏻)
Mom is used to eating rice noodles for breakfast in Hong Kong (I was also afraid that she would not be used to the local food (which might be spicy), so we also brought instant rice noodles for breakfast, and went to the lobby for breakfast every day to order bread sticks. After eating the warm rice, we went out to play.
Regarding the room, I saw a review saying that the hot water was not stable enough. I booked a triple tower room and there was no such problem at all. The hot water was sufficient and the temperature was constant. As for the comments about the bathroom door, it was easy to get the room wet...
We three ladies may not be big, so we don’t have this problem~ (but if you are really worried about getting wet, there are large and small towels in the room that can be placed in front of the bathroom door)
South Korean government policy suspends disposable cleaning products
But this store is very good, just ask the front desk staff
They will try their best to give you (we got toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, bath gel)
The next day, after going to the sauna, I learned that Koreans would use soap to wash their whole body (including washing their hair). The lobby of this store already provided it, and there were bath towels.
This towel is very useful!
Place the soap on the towel and gently massage to create rich foam! And it doesn’t dry out after washing! Made in Korea!
In addition, the floor heating in the room is also good enough! Some comments said that the floor heating cannot heat upstairs attic, so we also brought a hot water bottle; but my daughter said it was warm enough and it was okay to sleep in short-sleeved shirts (she said she felt hot in long sleeves on the first day, so she changed to shorts on other days)
There is a large refrigerator in the room (it's rare to see a hotel with such a large refrigerator). It is a home-size style with ice trays! My mom loves strawberries 🍓, we bought a lot in Myeongdong (about HK$50 per box). This refrigerator really helped a lot, because strawberries will go bad easily when heated (it’s better to freeze them under heating)
Mom comes home every night and has a strawberry all-you-can-eat dinner (super happy)
We could see the Seoul Tower from our room, and my daughter was very happy! 🧒🏼👏🏻
The transportation location is quite convenient (there is a bus stop to Myeongdong a little ahead of the 24-hour convenience store next to the door, almost every bus passes by, very convenient) and there is a subway station within ten minutes walk (remember that exit 8 is a staircase and exit 7 is an elevator)
Behind the hotel is Chungmuro Food Street, which has many izakaya-like restaurants. We went there to eat before leaving for the airport on our last day (because it would be late when we returned to the hotel after leaving the attractions, so we didn’t eat there)
On the last day, we had fried chicken at the food street, about $100hkd a plate, delicious! It’s much cheaper than Hong Kong, and the big plate is enough for three people! In addition, the sweet potatoes 🍠 in the 7-Eleven convenience store near the subway station are super delicious! About $11hkd, tastes similar to Hong Kong donki 👍🏻The long rice ring is also delicious, about $18)
❤️Summary:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This shop is run by a group of older elderly people. For a hotel with a large space at this price, the things they provide make it convenient for the guests. After all, I think even if they don't provide these, people will still book at this cost-effective price. Although the hotel has a sense of history, it is clean, tidy, warm and homely! The store clerks often greet us when we enter and leave the store! Very polite👍🏻❤️So we are very satisfied with this stay and it is worth writing such a long review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
P.S. If I had to point out a shortcoming, it would be that there were not enough places to hang coats (only three to four hooks). My mom was afraid of the cold, and there was a little snow, so she brought a lot of sweaters, and there were not enough hooks to hang the sweaters. But we prepared plastic bags, so it was ok for the group to hang them together.
We are very satisfied with this stay, the staff are very caring and kind, we will come again next time, thank all the staff in the hotel again 🙏👍🏻We are tourists from Hong Kong👵🏻👋🏻👱🏻♀️👋🏻🧒🏼👋🏻
우리는이 숙박에 매우 만족합니다. 직원들은 매우 돌보고 친절합니다. 우리는 다음 번에 다시 올 것입니다. 호텔의 모든 직원들에게 다시 감사합니다 🙏👍🏻 우리는 홍콩의 관광객입니다. 👵🏻👋🏻👱🏻♀️👋🏻🧒🏼👋🏻
