Kyoung Dong Hotel Myeongdong

They carried my suitcase upstairs, prepared water for me, and the room was very clean and lovely!!! I'd love to stay here again!!! Thank you very much✨️

It's about a 4-minute walk uphill from Hoehyeon Station. There are cute cafes, local restaurants, and CU nearby, and it's also easy to access Seoul Station and Myeongdong Station. As a side note, it took about 30 minutes to walk from the hotel to Namsan. However, it was a long, steep climb that left me sweating, but it was fun. There are two entrances to the hotel, so you can enter from either one! However, I later realized that there was only stairs at the front and a slope at the back, so if you're pulling a carry-on, please be careful when you arrive. The guy who came to check in spoke good Japanese, and since the hotel doesn't have an elevator, he helped me carry my luggage up the stairs to the 3rd floor! Thank you for his kindness!!! The key is not a regular card key, but you have to push the door to open it, so it takes a bit of skill. The toilet and shower are in the same space, which was a bit of a challenge, but it was saved by the fact that the water flows easily. Also, if you're a little careful, the toilet bowl doesn't get wet. While most hotels in Seoul charge for amenities, I was impressed that they provided amenities such as lotion, facial cleanser, toothbrush + toothpaste, razor, and shower towel. Towel and water service are also perfect. I thought the room was a little small, but I could unfold my carry-on bag and it was enough for one person. I plugged in the curling iron I brought from Japan without thinking, but it was helpful that there was a socket that could fit everything. I enjoyed the old Korean feel of the room, and the lighting was bright and it was easy to put on makeup lol I booked this hotel at short notice, but it was very good! It might be a good location to stay the day before heading to the airport.
