Rooms are small but the convenient location well makes up for how small the rooms are. Very quick walk over to Myeong-Dong Shopping street. The airport bus (17000 won per person) is also right by the hotel so it makes returning to the airport very easy, rather than trying to take multiple trains back to the airport. Breakfast was a bit repetitive but it was still good, Would definitely stay here again next time I return Seoul.

For travelers looking to immerse themselves in the city's rich history and culture, including landmarks like castles, museums, temples, monuments, and urban cultural spots, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal. This budget-friendly time frame not only offers affordable accommodations but also plenty of opportunities to explore key historical attractions and enjoy dining and cafe experiences in a vibrant urban setting.

Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a better deal on your stay in a Seoul hotel. If you're interested in a more unique experience, boutique hotels can provide a personalized touch and sometimes better value.

Opting for these alternative destinations could offer a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
