The Haemil - Twin Room & Roof Top

The hospitality started long before we arrived here. Around one week before our arrival, Mr Kim sent us an email to give direction on how to reach the place. Our route was Seoul - Busan - Seoul, so we asked if we can left our baggage before we go to Busan, and they said yes.

The Haemil - Hongdae

The location is near to Hongik University station and also to bus stop.

The Haemil Location

I spent 3 nights here, 1 night in the Twin room and 2 night at the roof top room. The twin room consist of 2 single bed with amenities (towel, hairdryer, tea, kettle) and bathroom inside. In the roof top room, you will find a kitchenette also. There are also a BBQ machine and some sport equipment. In the spring or summer, you can sit in the roof top and see the star.

Breakfast is at the lobby but the area is very very very small, consist of toast (with jam and butter), cereal, tea, coffee, apple and additional egg of your choice (scramble, sunny, boiled) every day. The egg will be cooked when you arrived at the breakfast place, so it still warm.

MS Hotel Haeundae

I spent one night in this hotel and get an upgrade from Standard Double Ocean View to Deluxe Double Ocean View. Yaaaaay! Our room is bigger and located in the end of the corridor.

This hotel is located in the opposite of SEA Life Busan Aquarium and Haeundae Beach. We can see it from our room. You can find 7-eleven, CU, GS25 and Starbucks easily. Bus station are also near.

Hotel Location

The room is spacious (compare with my previous stay in Seoul), with complete amenities such as towel, bathrobe, hair dyer, kettle, water heater, refrigerator, teabag, TV and automatic toilet, which we need some time to decipher and a few tried before we can used it.

The breakfast is in front of the receptionist and you will be given a tray to be brought to the breakfast area, which is very small, or back to your room. We decided to bring it back to our room.

My breakfast spot

The breakfast itself consist of toast (with jam and butter), banana, milk, yogurt, juice (orange and mango), coffee, water.


Overall, my stay here is very pleasant. I'm sure I will be back here when I visit Busan again. :)

24 Guesthouse Myeongdong Town

I spent 4 night here and it was a pleasant place to sleep. The room is not large, but the location is the best. The room is clean. But you need to tell the reception if you want your room to be cleaned.

Located on Geum-O building 10f, 9-15, Namchang-dong, Jung-gu, Myeong-dong, Seoul, South Korea 04529, only a stone's throw away from exit 6 of Hoehyeon station, line 4 of the subway, one station away from Myeong-dong (it's walkable since I tried it every night :p).

If you want to shop in the high end shopping mall, Shinsegae is very near also. Or if you prefer local market, Namdaemun market is also near. Basically, the road beside the building is part of Namdaemun market.

Building location

You can see Namsan Tower if your room located in the right direction, which sadly, not my room. I choose the bunk twin since I went with my friend. For you who spent the night in the upper bed, carefull with your head. I'm only 155 cm, but if I didn't bend my body a little bit, my head will connect with the ceiling.

Every room is equipped with some amenities such as hair dryer, towel, water heater (for drinking and bathing), refrigerator, TV, electric plug (a lot) and microwave in the breakfast area.

Sorry but it seems that my pictures of the room are missing. But you can check the picture in the link below, the pictures are accurate.

Some pictures for the room and surrounding

All room come with free breakfast consist of bread with jam and butter, cup noodle, orange juice, coffee, tea (all day) and water.

Overall, I like the location of the place. Even though the room is small, but I can still manage to open my luggage inside the room. :p
