If your idea of a good vacation means being near the water, head to Seoul Floating Islands. Whatever you choose to do here, you're unlikely to get bored of those pretty views.

Seoul Floating Islands is often on the itineraries of travelers to Seocho-gu. But this water-surrounded land mass shouldn't be your only stopover around this part of town. Gyeongbokgung Palace is not too far away and worth a look.

Did not get to eat breakfast so can’t comment on that. But the property was nice and clean. Furniture in the rooms were kind of outdated and some were damaged like the lamp shades. But overall cozy accommodation

Lovely staff, spoke english, I got a free upgrade to a slightly bigger room which was cool. The room was clean and comfy, the bidet started acting up, but a quick call to the staff and it was unplugged (they said they'd check it out after I left) The area was super central, close to multiple subway lines. would defs stay here again.
