Best Western Premier Hotel Kukdo

Kukdo Hotel is at Green line on Seoul Metro Map. To get to the hotel from the airport, you can buy ticket from the bus’s driver. Check for Airport Limousine Bus Discount Coupon before traveling to Seoul. Make sure you have small notes like 1,000 and 10,000 because the bus’s driver will not give you change. This hotel has Ladies’ floor and free shuttle bus to Dongdaemun History & Cultural Park, Myeong - Dong, Euljiro1-ga (Lotte) but you have to go back to the hotel by yourselves. Buy T-Money Card from the convenient store and use it to pay for metro etc . less

Hotel is located about 15 mins to Myeongdong on one direction and Dongdaemum in the other direction. There is a 24 hours convenient shop just on level 1 and it is very helpful. At night, the streets nearest to the hotel are mostly closed and quiet so it is suitable for guests who wish to have a quiet night. The bathroom sink area and shower/WC are in separate rooms so it can be a good arrangement or inconvenient for some. I personally find it strange at first but got used to it eventually. Spacious room. less

The Best Western Premier Kukdo in Seoul is one of the best hotels I have stayed in Asia! Location is very central and walkable to many city areas. The hotel is very clean, calm, and there is serenity in every corner. We always have a very warm, educated and respectful welcome every time we entered the hotel. Staff is just AWESOME, very polite, helpful and well trained: at the entrance, reception, breakfast, housekeeping, etc. I'm sure it is the same in all other departments because the high quality service pattern is very consistent, but these are the staff guests most have contact with. I totally recommend this hotel and if I ever return to Seoul, I will surely stay here again :) it was an oustanding stay and experience, and staff played the major role for it ;) less

I like the location! Bigger than average rooms. Close to the subway. You can hop on line number 2 that goes in a big circle around the city connecting you to many other lines. Convenient! And the airport buss stops in front of the building. Myeongdong shopping area(lots of skincare, street food and clothing) and Insadong(traditional crafts and souveniers) is within walking distance. All this at a good price! less

The hotel was easy to find arriving by train from Naju. The station is a short distance to hotel. If you aren't weighed down with luggage you could walk. Check in was quick. The room was a generous size with plenty of closet and drawer space, places to put luggage out of the way. Having the vanity separate from the toilet and shower is a convenience we appreciated. The room was immaculate. And the coffee in the room was really good. The beds, linens and pillows were terrific. Slept sound and woke up well rested ready to go. The airport bus stops right in front of the hotel. If it were any closer it would be in the lobby. The bus runs every 15 minutes so getting to the airport was a breeze. The trip took about an hour and 45 minutes and cost less than $20 US. The sights on the way were beautiful. We were so pleased with the location of the hotel and the numerous amenities and attractions close by. So much to see. The subway is incredibly close. Although If you enjoy walking many attractions are an easy jaunt from the hotel, with lots of interesting things to see along the way. My favourites were the Hanok Village, Myeong-Dong Cathedral, Gyeongbokgung Palace, shopping - so many places, parks all over, restaurants architecture - old, new, I could go on forever. I love Seoul! The dichotomy of old and new is captivating. The hotel is within walking distance of the Cheonggyecheon Stream. Strolling along the paved walkways in the evening was a delight, though it's enjoyable any time of day. Insadong market was fun to see but I much preferred the traditional market, Namdaemun for the vibe, bustle and wide assortment of goods from ginseng, cool apparel, food, Korean-made products and more. The food choices were amazing and delicious. Out the door of the hotel to the left is a street vendor where we bought our yummy breakfast on the go, grilled egg, ham and cheese on bread served in a paper cup. And coffee. Don't know what made it so tasty special, perhaps the charming woman preparing the food. There is a cozy area with tables and chairs to sit and eat just inside the hotel entrance with a convenience store just steps away. When I visit Seoul again I will definitely stay at the Kukdo! less
