Galmea First Hotel

It's a newer hotel and always refreshing to return to a clean room where bedding and towels are replaced daily, supplies ie tissue and shampoo are topped up and also 2 bottles of free water, coffee, and cider is provided daily-that is a lovely bonus. We extended our stay another two weeks because of how lovely it is here. Far from city center-1 hour away but train is two streets away. Plenty of restaurants close by and shopping mall next door. Quiet rooms fast elevators great staff. Just no laundromat (must use the private laundromat 4 blocks away) and no ironing board. No microwave. But for the price we're paying it's fine for us especially since we're here for a month. We love the neighborhood-it's very clean and safe. Just far from city and after midnight if we miss the last train the 707 bus takes us to Galmae Station or taxis to city are around $20.

During our first trip to Korea, our family of three stayed in a room with a queen-size bed and a twin bed. The room had a separate shower and toilet, as well as a bathtub. The hotel staff were available 24 hours and were very helpful, even though they spoke little English. We used a language translator app to communicate with them. For transportation, we mainly used taxis, and there were many amenities near the hotel. We were just seconds away from a 24-hour mart, a mall, and a park. There were plenty of dining options nearby, including Pizza Hut, Paris Baguette, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and various Korean and Italian restaurants.

Very clean modern room, with access to shopping and restaurants. A bit far from downtown Seoul but that reflected in the price of the room. There's a metro stop right near the hotel, but I opted for a cab to Gangnam (30 min) as it was much too complicated to take the metro. I would stay here again.
