This is my attempt to update my trip to Seoul in October 2010 with my dear sister. We spent about 6 days in Seoul and Uljiro Co-op Residence Seoul is the home for us throughout the trip. For US$399.83 for 5 nights (including tax & fees from http://hotels.com/), this is one of the most convenient places to stay in Seoul at a fairly cheap price if compared to other hotels in Seoul. Well Seoul is one of the most expensive cities in the world anyway.
The residence is conveniently located at 5 minutes walk from Exit 12 from Dongdaemun Stadium Station. Line No. 2 or 4, or the last station of the Airport Limousine Bus No. 6001, right to the door step of the residence. The room was small and simple but very clean. We had kinda expected the small bathroom but it was the smallest bathroom that we had ever seen! Still, we had no complaint as the price is reasonable, location is excellent, plenty of amenities around with a huge 24 hour Lotteria just right across the road. Best part is the late night wholesale shopping zone in Dongdaemun is just around the corner which one can shop til sunrise!
