We had a pleasant stay at this hotel overall. The property was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was extremely convenient, and the room itself was comfortable and spacious. The only real disappointments were the lack of air conditioning and the absence of a microwave in the room. The absence of air conditioning made the evenings a little uncomfortable, and a microwave would have been useful for quick reheating food. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel provided a great experience, and I would consider staying again - especially if these amenities are added in the future.

This glitzy fashion street in the Apgujeong-dong area of Seoul has been turning heads since the 1990s and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Every major department store in Korea has some sort of food hall/market, and they’re actually pretty amazing, this one being one of the best/biggest ones in Seoul.
So so many baked goods, and Koreans do get quite creative with them as well!
I would highly recommend eating here but be warned, you will be overwhelmed with the selection. :)
