Seogwangsa Temple

Very good accommodation close to Dongaemun. We were upgraded and our room was large with two double beds and plenty of space for luggage. The staff were very helpful, and they replaced the low battery in our room safe very quickly. The hotel has easy access to metro lines and it’s an easy flat walk to Inseodong for cafes, Changgyeonggung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace, as well as other places. Even Myeongdong is only a 35 minute walk. We would definitely stay again!

Hotel Atrium is an average hotel. The room was very basic and includes the bare minimum like beds, a washroom, and a mini fridge. It was also clean but you could tell the hotel has been around as the carpets have visible stain spots. There’s also a subtle scent but nothing too bothersome. The main winning point for the room is how spacious it is. Location is decent. It’s right next to Gwangjang Market. Luckily public transportation in Seoul is very advanced so bussing and subway made it easy to get to different parts of the city.
