Boutique Hotels in Seoul

"The hotel's location is decent, though it's a bit of a walk to Myeongdong. There are convenience stores, Starbucks, a subway station, and snack shops nearby. There's a fantastic BBQ place behind the hotel; skip the raw beef, though, it might not suit everyone's taste. Otherwise, everything else was good. The hotel was quite clean, which was a relief as I was a little worried initially. The bathroom is a bit small but perfectly functional. Remember to bring a travel adapter, otherwise, charging your devices will be slow. My hairdryer worked without an adapter, but its power was low, with weak, cool air. There's an airport shuttle, but it took two hours to get to the hotel upon arrival and cost 240+ for three people, or 17,000 KRW per person. For the return trip, a taxi to the airport cost only 54,000 KRW. I left around 6-7 AM when there was no traffic, and it took about an hour. You can order delivery, but it's quite expensive. I highly recommend the shaved ice, it was truly delicious and didn't melt at all. There were no toothbrushes, but I brought my own slippers. I'd advise against eating around Myeongdong; it's not good and overpriced. Upon arrival, you can get a Lotte membership card, which doubles as a transit card and is free. You might get a 5% discount on products, and possibly an 8.5% discount with a Visa card. Also, don't bother with those online door stoppers that block the keyhole; they won't work here. I felt quite safe and it was relatively quiet. The bathroom fan is a bit strong, so I turned off both the AC and the fan at night, and it was peaceful. Hope this helps everyone! Oh, and that famous fried chicken place was pretty mediocre."
