Myeongdong was vibrant and perfect for night markets, delicious street food and shopping.
Pros:

The hotel's location was excellent, with plenty of shops and attractions within easy walking distance. The only downside was that the nearest train station wasn't particularly close. Overall, though, it was a fantastic location. The room, on the other hand, could have been a little more spacious, especially considering that many people travel to South Korea for shopping and often have plenty of luggage!

Cons:

One downside was the size of the room, which felt quite compact, especially if you're travelling with multiple suitcases or planning to do a lot of shopping. In addition, the hotel did not offer a luggage transfer or forwarding service, unlike many other hotels in South Korea. This would have been a convenient amenity for travellers moving between cities or carrying larger amounts of luggage.
