[Seoul accommodation - a bit old but fully equipped hotel in the tourist center]

When we went to Korea, it was the peak tourist season, so the hotel prices were really expensive. Considering that we should have a one- or two-pack, we used to stay in a hostel and squeezed in, but now we are looking for something more comfortable and close to the subway station. In the end, we chose the Koreana Hotel, which is in the middle price range, has a large room (you can throw things around), and is 5 minutes away from the City Hall Station. We were a little nervous when we read the reviews at first, after all, many people said it was old and smelled old, but we really had no other choice😂 When we arrived, we found that the lobby had actually been renovated, so it was quite clean and bright👍🏻 The room also has good lighting, a sofa and a long desk, plenty of space for activities, and the bathroom facilities look a bit old, but are very clean. The bed was very comfortable and big, but when I went there at the end of March, they were still turning on the heating 🫠 so we could only open the window at night to make the air less hot. Also, the equipment is indeed old (I thought the kettle was going to explode). The TV, lights, hangers, and coffee are all old models. It’s not a big problem. If you only require cleanliness and comfort, this is not a problem. Transportation is indeed worth a bonus. I used to live near Hongdae. From City Hall Station, I can walk to Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, Hongdae, and Seoul Station. It is very convenient. The key is that I don’t have to drag too far when walking. I don’t have to worry about catching the bus or running out of things when shopping at Lotte Mart/Myeongdong. It’s easier to arrange time when going to the airport🤩 In summary, if you don't require a check-in hotel, this one is very cost-effective!
