    There are so many different options in quality and price near the palaces, Namsan, and Myeongdong. That central northern area of Seoul seems like the best place to find an accomodation for international travelers. Plus, it's in between all of the attractions, except for Gangnam.

    I was I Seoul in April after an 11 hr flight from Honolulu and we stayed in the Myeongdong area at the Pacific hotel. Great location and many places close by. Convenience stores, eating places, Daiso right around the corner. We could not use the Kakao taxi app because we did not have a Korean phone number. We just flagged cabs. I love shopping at Lotte World. Korea fried chicken was really ono! Lots of Japanese tourists in early April. The Cherry Blossoms were beautiful! We were lucky to avoid the yellow dust from China. When that comes in the Spring, air quality is bad!

  • @thomasday8155
    @thomasday8155 Год назад +16

    My wife and I always choose to stay in Myeongdong. We stay at the Sheraton Josun which is right on Eulji-ro and Line 2 of the subway (Euljiro 3 Ga). The rooms on the back side of the hotel have a fabulous view of Namsam Tower.
    Short walking distance to Myeongdong Night Market and Cheonggyecheon, with lots of restaurants and cafes throughout. Only 1 or 2 subway stops to get to Gwangjang Market and DPP, or if you choose you can walk towards them in the underground shopping mall that is parallel to the subway line.

I am interested in visiting Seoul/Busan/Jeju. Can you do a video commenting the mode of transportation from one region to another, would you recommend traveling from Seoul to Busan then to Jeju or from Seoul to Jeju then to Busan? Looking forward to your video(s) and/or comments. Thank you.

    I'm arriving in Incheon airport and plan to take the all-stop train, but have a hard time deciding where to stay. Why? Because I am travelling 20+ hours to arrive to Korea. So i am deciding to stay at a nearby hotel like 30 minutes from the Incheon airport when I arrive and I prefer to stay away from crowded places. I am not very interested in the tourist attractions. I like be somewhere quieter and greenery. So i thought:
    Example: Yeongdeungpo-gu, Yeouido, Conrad hotel. The same example you provided.
    I was surprised you mentioned Koreans go there for staycation XD I did not know.
    If I go to other hotels in Gangnam when I arrive into Incheon airport, I already know I will have to change Lines upon Arrival, which will give me more troubles XD I will be so tired too.
    Maybe Day 2 when I adjusted to jet lag, I will move to another hotel like Signiel hotel. And move closer to Namsam Tower when weather becomes more beautiful.
    Your information is very helpful. Thank you.
    Please let me know if my travel plan is also a good idea. It is quite opposite to your advice because it is more suited for me. I think it is okay, but I do worry about language barrier because I am not nearer these central areas like Hongdae, Gangnum, Myeondong, etc.

    Hello, I just want to ask you for some advice. I saw your video about where to stay in Seoul. I have checked for a hotel and I found Sheila Hotels but I saw that they have different prices for different locations.
    The best price with good reviews was Sheila Stay Guro. Is this in a good area? We are a family with 2 adults and our daughter, and we are trying to find a hotel for 6 nights in April from 5 to 11. Of course, if you have any other tips that can make our visit memorable, it will be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for your time and attention!

      @@yourkoreafriendakao taxi is great if you are a resident. I (ex Korean, now live in Australia) was in Korea last year with my son and had hard time using the app as I just bought SIM card for my phone but couldn’t use the app, I needed to put all Korean resistance details which I didn’t have… apparently unless you pass the security test (to prevent criminal activities), you can’t use the app!! We were stranded after Han river cruise tour and I felt so hopeless in front of my son that I couldn’t get a taxi nor kakao taxi. I’ve tried to ask many people (including staff at convenient store) to call the kakao taxi for me but no one helped me. I guess they might have thought it’s a new kind of scam using phone!! At the end, we caught one of last subway to hotel in itaewon and walked about 900meters at 11… living in Sydney I felt so unsafe as it was so late for Sydney standard! When taxi’s changeover time, it’s almost impossible to catch taxi! Get your hotel reception numbers handy and let them to help you if you need some help. In Hongkong, I had the same problem. They taxi driver didn’t speak English and didn’t know our hotel (we only knew the hotels English name, not Chinese name). So I thought I almost have to sleep in the street!! 😢
