Aloft Seoul Myeongdong - Korea

-

Aloft Seoul Myeongdong is within walking distance to Lotte Department Store, Myeongdong Street and limousine bus to the airport (approximately 5 minutes walking distance ~ 400m). We stayed 5 nights in a king guest room that comes with 1 king size bed, 4 pillows, 2 bolsters, free high speed Wi-Fi, working desk, wall mounted TV (wide variety of Korean channels), in-room safe, disposable slippers, iron, ironing board, bathrobe, mini-fridge, coffee or tea making facilities, 2 complimentary bottles of drinking water, hair dryer, self controlled air conditioning and basic toiletries.

Room looks modern, spacious and clean. Besides that, the room offers a sitting area with sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling windows that give the best view of the city. Bed is nice and comes with comfy cozy blanket. I've never stayed in a hotel that provides bolsters and it makes me feel so at home as I sleep with bolster all the time. Bathroom is clean and shower is separated from the toilet area with its own transparent cubicle. Normal water pressure and water is very hot. However, shower floor tend to be slippery when wet. Toilet comes with heated toilet seat and emergency call button. 

Hotel facilities (open 24 hours) include coin laundry (laundry - ₩5,000, dryer - ₩4,000 and detergent - ₩1,000), gym and business center. Both coin laundry and gym located at level 3 while business center is located at level 2. There's a Rooftop restaurant that opens during summer season only. Key card is required for access to guest room floor. I love their innovative lift buttons which is so different compared to all the hotels that I've stayed. Overall it's a very pleasant stay.

Check in time: 3pm
Check out time: 12pm

Room rate - ₩ 766,700 for 6 days 5 nights excluding breakfast

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
