South Korea: Seoul - Free and easy 2 nights stay in Seoul

[Jamesc]

i saw some airbnb where you can stay in these old traditional house, just like in the drama shows   

 

I stayed in old house like this in Japan before.

 

They made me sleep on the floor, the place 

 

was really cold, the bath tub everyone used 

 

the same water so I just used the hose, sit

 

on a stool and shower myself.

If got no money like me can just walk around Seoul and see old houses. In the back ground

 

can see the Namsan tower can go there to walk around and see the skyline of Seoul. Nice

 

 

In Pusan I again ran out of money so see old blue houses. - I like blue very much, films, books, 

 

houses. . . . 

 

 

The must try food in Pusan is pancakes and donuts. Alamak this sounds like USA.

 

 

 

 

 

This one looks like oyster omlette

 

 

This one looks like pizza.

 

 

For me I never miss their fried chicken - now really sound like USA.

 

 

Ginseng chicken - definitely not from USA

 

 

 

Thatz my type of travelling. Walking the streets and eat street food. Thou I will pass on ginseng chicken, I hate the smell + taste of ginseng. 

[Jamesc]

Yeah street food is the best 

 

 

 

 

Topokki - although it looks like pizza.

 

[Lala81]

I didn't really eat much of their street food since it's just deep fried something lol...

Got escalators/lift but sometimes it's like 200m walk to the escalator/lift.

And approximately every 1 out of 2-3 flights of stairs will have escalators lol

View from my room - I just love the view at night

 

 

Also has coin laundry can wash your clothes.

 

At Incheon airport go to exit 5B and take limo bus 6015 it drops you outside

[Adrianli]

While I was booking the hotel, I never notice that IBIS and IBIS Style are two different hotels. I tot both are the same thing.

 

Yesterday called Hotels.com to change my booking but they said cannot as I had signed up for unrefundable rates. The six nights cost $894. If want to change, have to forfeit the whole amount. The hotel also wouldnt allow me to change. So now I am stuck with the wrong hotel.

 

Anyone knows any senior ppl in Ibis I can contact? I am just changing from one branch of their hotel to another. They still earn, infact I need to pay more to stay in IBIS, it will cost me $916 for six nights.

i use Expedia that allow me to cancel and refund when i make a wrong booking, even if it was a non refundable type. 

 

Since you have the hotel detail for Ibis Style, you can write to them and let them do the transfer for you instead of going through Hotel.com.
