I was off on my first holiday since going to Europe in 2019 (Thanks COVID!).
I decided to head to Seoul in South Korea and Taipei in Taiwan, spending a week in each.

Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station
For my last night in Seoul I’d decided to stay closer to Seoul Station so it would be easy to get from and to the airport train, especially as I’d be getting in from Taipei around 9pm.

Seoulista, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea
I was back in Seoul for a day before flying home to Melbourne in the evening. I spent the day exploring the area just east of Seoul Station near the Sungnyemun Gate (Namdaemun).
Mid afternoon I started the walk back towards my hotel but pulled up the map to look for somewhere for a sneaky last drink. Up popped Seoulista.

Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul Yongsan – Seoul Dragon City, Seoul, South Korea
I will start off saying that the Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul in Yongsan was a very good hotel, but it’s a little out of the the main part of the city and in a bit of a wasteland that is being redeveloped.
You get to the hotel along a long elevated walkway from Yongsan station. It’s a bit of a trek but you get used to it. If you have luggage use the lift to get to ground level.
It was only when I arrived that it dawned on me that there were actually 2 different types of Novotel’s in the same building. There’s the standard Novotel hotel but there’s also a Novotel that’s just suites. Probably positioned at longer term guests. I guess I just didn’t pay attention when I booked and I’d booked a room in the Novotel Suites. There are also two other hotels in the same building, an Ibis Styles, as well as a Grand Mercure.

Daily Beer, Gongdeok, Mapo, Seoul, South Korea
After my curry I wanted to try the Daily Beer that was close by to see if it was more lively than that one I’d visited the previous Friday.
