Tips for selecting Hotel in Seoul

 

-  Choose a hotel near a subway station and local restaurants.

-  A bakery or convenience store is great for fast, convenient, and economical breakfast/ snacks/ drinks.

-  Rooms for more than 2 people are hard to find and more expensive so book early

-  Try a local hotel, they tend to offer more value and amenities for your money

-  If you plan on doing laundry, choose a hotel which offers washers and/or dryers.
   Some offer washers only so make sure you have a clothes line in your hotel bathroom, or
   buy some rope to make one yourself.
   You can buy laundry soap or you can bring own detergent.
