We literally reached Seoul early morning, it was around 12:30am when we stepped out from Myeongdong station as it took 1 hour 20 minutes including transfer time. Then, our nightmare started when we found out that elevators and lifts were not operating~!!!
Miserable us have to carry 4 luggage and backpacks total up to about 75 kg.
Let me introduce our life saviour, Mr Yoo Chang Hyeon.
We almost cried climbing the endless staircases. Then suddenly a good Samaritan appeared and asked my son what he was doing. Then my son said that we're moving the luggage. Then he helped us carry the luggage not only to the next level, but to another flight of stairs too. Though we still need to carry to the street level because he needed to close the station. Thank you so much for your extra miles services~!
We walked from Myeongdong Exit 4 to K-Pop Residence.
Previously we stayed at Sejong Hotel which was just less than 10 steps from Exit 4. How we wished that we could quickly check-in and sleep there, but too bad we're staying at K-Pop Residence.
Reception Hours 08:00 - 23:00.
Hubby said it's nearby, but I think we walked for about 20 minutes? Dead tired when we finally reached the hotel. But, we only found the note sticked on the glass door in front of the receptionist stated that they closed at 11pm. Therefore we need to follow the instructions to get our room key and connect to WIFI.
Family room with 2 double bed.
This was the only photo I took on that night, the above photos were taken on the second day. The room was pretty small and we didn't have space to walk after putting our luggage and shoes. Anyway, we're quite satisfied as the room and toilet were clean. Although the bed was hard, but nonetheless I still prefer to sleep on the bed than floor at Jjimjilbang common area.
We paid about SGD 80.00 per night, booked from Agoda.
Since the room was kinda messy on the second day, let me take photo with 'Psy - Oppa Gangnam Style' with his horse dancing pose.
We can have free breakfast although it's not stated when we booked the room.
Bread, cornflakes, milk, juice, tea and coffee.
Kids having their cereal with milk, my hubby
and I ate toasted bread with strawberry jam and butter.
You can use toaster, microwave, fridge and other utensils in this dining area.
It's kinda self-help area where you browse internet with PC and also use the washing machine to clean your dirty clothes. Too bad, there's no drying area so we'd to hang them in our squeezy room. There were only 2 hangers in the room, so we had to lay the pants on the heated floor.
Ready to go for our next destination after breakfast.
