Travelodge Dongdaemun (3*)

Travelodge Dongdaemun Seoul is a 3-star hotel located in the heart of Seoul's Jung-gu district, offering modern accommodations with convenient access to the city's attractions.

• Centrally located in Seoul's Jung-gu district, just a short walk from Euljiro 4-ga Subway Station, making it easy to reach Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Gwangjang Market.
• Modern and comfortable rooms in a high-rise building.
• Incredible amenities such as a fitness centre, an on-site restaurant, and a rooftop terrace with city views.
• A fabulous 4.5/5 rating on Tripadvisor, with guests praising its great location, services and staff.

A Superior Queen room is £82 per night (~£572.74 total for 2 people, 7 nights) on the hotel's official website Travelodgehotels.asia (click here), which is an incredible price for a hotel in this location. MUST READ: The booking website will be in South Korean Won, with the total stay (inc. taxes and fees) being KRW 1,039,720 (which converts to £572.74). In order to avoid paying a foreign currency fee, we recommend you use a debit or credit card with no fees when you pay abroad—our personal recommendation is Revolut, since they charge no foreign transaction fee and we love their app!

Voyara's Recommended Experiences:

• Walk through the vibrant streets of Myeongdong, where you can shop for the latest fashion, skincare, and street food all in one place.

• Take a day trip to Bukchon Hanok Village, a charming neighborhood filled with traditional Korean houses and stunning photo opportunities.

Voyara's Local Insights:

• Public transport is the best way to get around Seoul, so grab a T-money card to make bus and subway travel more convenient and cheaper.
• The best places to exchange money at great rates are in Myeongdong and Namdaemun, where you’ll find plenty of exchange booths.
• If you’re shopping at markets like Gwangjang or Namdaemun, don’t be afraid to haggle, as many vendors expect a little negotiation.
• Seoul’s subway stations often have underground shopping malls, where you can find budget-friendly clothing, cosmetics, and souvenirs.
• For the best night views of Seoul, head to Eungbongsan or Haneul Park, which are less crowded than N Seoul Tower but just as breathtaking.

Voyara-approved Restaurants & Cafés

• Caffé del Cotone is a must-visit for incredible coffee (I personally recommend the espresso ginseng!)
• Ashville Bakery Café is probably part of my top 3 cafés in the world. The ambience, the staff, the food... everything was incredible. I had the best matcha of my life here, and a chestnut ciabatta that made me seriously consider moving to Seoul.
• Gwangjang Market is the best place to try authentic Korean street food (I recommend bindaetteok and mayak kimbap).

Sometimes the best way of seeing a city's main attractions is doing it through booked tours and activities. We recommend you book these through Viator.com (4.3 stars on Trustpilot); we've used them countless times and they've never disappointed.

Voyara Insider's personal note: I recommended taking a DMZ Tour - it's a day trip from Seoul, and it is an eye-opening experience regarding the North-South Korean war—the guides will tell you their own family's story in the conflict, making it quite emotional.
