Stayed at Best Western New Seoul Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.
|
We (9 people total), had a great trip thanks to our very gracious hosts. Trips to Seoul tower, shopping areas, the Secret Garden, Palaces and temples. The best trip I've taken in Seoul since I've been in Korea.

Stayed at Crown Insadong, Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.

It was my fourth time in Seoul, so I have visited most tourist places and spent many hours shopping in Seoul. Myung-dong, for us, is the best place for eating if you want some variety. It also had many western restaurants and is good for shopping.

I took one of the DMZ tour. They showed me many things that I didn't know.
They also have Panmunjeom tour and I wish to take this tour next time.

Stayed at Lotte World Hotel Seoul - Jamsil - Seoul, South Korea.
|
Korea is not very tourist friendly as all the signs are all in Korean with little English or pics. e.g. it is very difficult to order food in restaurants unlike in Japan where there are pictures to point to when ordering.

Stayed at Hamilton Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.
|
The location is right in the middle of the shopping and bar area. There are many bars and fairs to good restaurants close by. For some looking for a western atmosphere the Nashville restaurant, sports bar and roof garden right in Iteawon close to the hotel is friendly and pretty good.

Taxi is inexpensive (make sure you take the non-black, non-deluxe cabs which start from 1600won vs. 4000won.) The ride from Incheon to Coex only costed 12000won (10 us dollars). Nice restaurant is a Japanese restaurant called Chin Chin, near Galleria Department store in Ap-Gu-Jong-Dong. I also visited a mountainous area near the opera house. Nice to visit when you get tired of the hustle-bustle of the city. If you get a chance you also have to visit some mountainside restaurants. The one I went to was in Na-Man-San. We picked out our chickens and had them prepared fresh. An outstanding treat...

Stayed at Seoul Plaza Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.
|
Absolutely the most central location in Seoul north of the Han River. Within walking distance of Nam Dae Myung, Myung Dong, City Hall, close to Itaewon, In Sa Dong, Shincon. Hard to beat if you want to taste all the flavors of Seoul.

Stayed at Best Western Hotel Dongdaemun - Seoul, South Korea.
|
Shoppers may have to check on the trade holidays for the shopping malls during Summer (around early August). It was a huge disappointment as 90% wholesale shopping malls at Dongdaemun and Namdaemun are closed for Summer Holidays during my stay. Urgh!!! Didn't expect that to happen, no such holiday advice from the Tour2Korea website and the hotels too! Taking the subway is simple so you don't need to join a land tour. We are lucky to meet some nice Koreans who offer to give road directions even when they have difficulty understanding and speaking English. In-SaDong is really a good place for some Korean culture stuff... I love the place. Eating is a little problem as we can't read Korean words, so look for those with food pictures.

Stayed at Tower Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.
|
The Hotel can help you book a tour to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea - a thoroughly informative and wholly worthwhile tour. Highly recommended.
