The transportation here is convenient, but the facilities are too old. There are too many hotels in Seoul, Korea. From the airport to the hotel you can take the 6702 bus directly to the hotel door, which takes about 90 minutes, very conveniently located near Dongdaemun, about 10 minutes from the subway station. Once inside, the service staff at the front desk had a good attitude and spoke Chinese. Hygiene was acceptable, except that the carpet was old and not very clean. The room size is very small ah. #Seoul Hotel #Hotel #OverseasTravel #Register for a hotel sleeper

I booked the flight on impulse. I can't speak Korean or English, but I managed to get by with gestures and a translation app! 😮‍💨 This time it was 3 days and 2 nights, but I feel like that's just the right length for a trip to Korea! But I ended up going bankrupt after spending too much money... Next time I'll save up some money 😇#triptoKorea

A sign like this at a convenience store in Seoul! I'll never buy this #Seoul #Rice #Korea

The Summit Hotel Dongdaemun The attitude of the counter staff was unexpectedly bad (maybe they don't like Chinese people). When asked where the locker is, they didn't show me. If I asked a few more times, they got angry and showed no sympathy for children. Only the hotel buffet has nice staff, good food, and decent location, but you have to walk to the subway station (it rained one day and there were kids in strollers).

I went to Korea for the first time in late March for 3 nights and 4 days! I mainly used trains and buses for transportation. I bought a weather card and was able to use it without worrying about the balance, which was convenient! It was close to Gwangjang Market, so I was able to easily go to the park where the Squid Game was filmed by bus. The Summit Hotel I stayed at was directly from the elevator at Exit 4 of Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station! I was able to check in in Japanese. It was old, but very clean and comfortable. They cleaned it every day and refilled my water. There was a Wow Pass machine and a convenience store on the first floor. I used the convenience store every day, and there was a lot of banana milk and biot, and I bought some souvenirs because it was a good deal with 1+1. The most fun thing about my first trip to Korea was eating around! It was cheap, and everything I ate was delicious!! ! #SummitHotel #0yentrip

☕️Amenities - It was nice that there was a restaurant in the hotel and a hotel lobby cafe on the first floor. There was a convenience store right next door, which was also very convenient! 🌿Room - The rooms were reasonably clean and simple, so I think it was good value for money. There were no toothbrushes or toothpaste in the bathroom, but it was convenient because it had body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand wash, etc. There were plenty of towels. There was a hair dryer, so there was nothing particularly inconvenient. However, the soundproofing wasn't very good, so I could hear laughter from the next room.. and from the road by the window, I could hear cars passing by and pedestrians yelling... It was so loud that I had a hard time falling asleep. Other than that, I think it was good! #It's near Dongguk University, so if you have something to do in that area, it's pretty close, so it's a good place to stay. I recommend it 👍

Starbucks R is located about an 8-minute walk from the entrance to Tokyo University. This is the only store in Korea that serves alcohol, so it's a noteworthy store. It's usually busy, but when I went in the evening, it was pretty empty! I was surprised to find out that this was a home, and I was impressed by the luxurious and beautiful building! From the basement to the second floor, the image was all different and very stylish♥ R store exclusive tumblers were also on sale, making it a store full of premium feeling😁 ☕Store name STARBUCKS COFFEE Jangchung Lounge R store ☎Phone number 1522-3232 ⏰️Business hours 9:00-21:00 ⛵️Closed days\tOpen all year round 🇰🇷48-16 Jangchung-dong 1-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul (48-16 Jangchung-dong 1-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul) [Road name address] 25 Jangchungdan-ro 4-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul (25 Jangchungdan-ro 4-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul) ) #rintomokorea #rintomoseoul #asiatravelrecord

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We took a bus from Incheon Airport to Summit Hotel, which took about 1:30pm. It was convenient that the bus stopped right in front of the hotel. The convenience store was open until 11:50pm, and there was a corner to eat nearby. There was also a WOWPASS machine in the lobby, so we were able to exchange and deposit money quickly. Wi-Fi was good and there was also a gym and cafe. The hotel was spacious, and the bed was large and comfortable. There was no noise, and it was a quiet environment. It was about a 7-minute walk to DDP. I would like to use this hotel again!

#FriTabi This time, I enjoyed night shopping and eating in Dongdaemun! In Dongdaemun, I visited the famous Dakgalbi restaurant (see the fourth photo), as well as the relatively common Mega Coffee and Starbucks!! Starbucks' menu is completely different from Japan, and the takeaway bags are cute, and at Mega Coffee, as the name suggests, the coffee is large, and the value for money is also good, so I was really impressed! By the way, both Mega Coffee and Starbucks accept wowpass as a payment method (* • ω • )b At night, you can go night shopping, and there is a bus stop at the silver building called Design Plaza where you can take a night view bus tour of Seoul! The first photo shows Seoul Station from the bus! The good thing about the bus tour is that you can select Japanese on the automated voice, so you can hear the explanation in Japanese! There are also many other languages, so I felt it was very tourist-oriented. The night view of Seoul is really beautiful, and just looking at the view is soothing! #Dongdaemun #SeoulTrip #KoreanFood 💰Price per person: Mega Coffee 1 cup is about 500 yen (some are cheaper or more expensive depending on the product) Starbucks 1 cup is about 800 yen (almost the same as in Japan) Dakhanmari 1 whole chicken is about 3000 yen (price varies depending on toppings such as mochi) The bus tour was less than 1000 yen per person!

Day 3: Dongdaemun On the night of the 2nd, enjoy night shopping at Dongdaemun, it feels like a city that never sleeps, and it's fun until the night! You can buy souvenirs such as sweets at supermarkets, and there are outlets, so there are plenty of things to see! Korea is full of charm with its many traditional, beautiful tourist spots, delicious food, lively markets, and night shopping! Once you've been to Korea, you'll want to go back again right away! The best trip to Korea full of happy spaces! The Starfield Library is amazing! The best location! Suwon Starfield!

Even 3 nights and 4 days is not enough time. The best trip to Korea where you can spend each day fulfillingly! If I could, I would like to go to Korea once a week and experience different aspects of Korea!

The Summit Hotel Dongdaemun is located in Jung-gu, Seoul, just a 6-minute walk from Dongguk University and Dongdaemun History and Culture Park subway stations. It features a fitness center and a tour desk. The hotel's rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. Slippers, toiletries, and a hairdryer are also provided. In addition, the hotel has a business center and meeting rooms, offering convenience for business travelers. The hotel's restaurant serves a variety of delicacies, including traditional Korean dishes, Western buffets, and Japanese cuisine. Moreover, the hotel also has recreational facilities such as a gym, sauna, and spa center for guests to use. The Summit Hotel Dongdaemun is just a 6-minute walk from the center of Seoul, making it convenient for guests to go shopping and to entertainment venues. At the same time, there are many natural landscapes around the hotel, such as Namsan Park and Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, providing guests with a great place to relax both body and mind.

The rooms were clean and equipped with a bathtub, and some staff members could speak Japanese. There were no pajamas, but bathrobes, toothbrushes, combs, etc. were provided. It was convenient to have a WOW Pass machine at the front desk. They were also able to store my luggage before check-in. There was also a cafe, but it was bustling with local older men. There is also an airport bus, so access is easy. However, when I went to the front desk to get chopsticks they said they didn't have any, so I was impressed that there are hotels like that.
