Ehwa Hotel, Seoul: Our experience!

Assalamualaikum

Kalini I nak sambung  share my tentang our kowea trip sebab ada yang tanya I about my expenses and hotel. Maybe for now tak syok pun nak baca since border still tutup sebab covid kan, who knows it might be useful later on 😉

For this entry, let me share with you about the hotel first oki?

We stay at EHWA hotel. Betul betul menghadap jalan besar. Hotel ni dekat tengah tengah antara dua subway line. Jangan imagine the subway was that near oki. I rasa to myeondong station kitorng jalan dalam 300 m. Masa mula sampai tu emo la sbb belum biasa. Lama lama tu rasa 2-3km tu takda mende k kalau jalan kaki. Lulus dah ni nak jadi orang sana :p

Cantik kan??? 

AAAA EXCITED NAMPAK HOTEL NI MULA MULA. We were so clueless back then masa baru sampai Seoul. Dengan luggage yang banyak, icha duduk stroller sebab tido. Memang mencabar. Berpeluh jangan cakap la even cuaca sejuk. Luckily, we reach at the hotel safely! Thank you la dekat admin hotel yang rajin melayan email I and explain the direction hehe.

Oh ya.. We book thru agoda. So sampai hotel tu cuma tunjuk payment proof and our hotel booking receipt. Terus boleh check in. Masa I book ni dapat sekali breakfast. So memang jimat lah eventho not all the breakfast spread was halal. Makan hat yang bolehla oki. Pls pls google dulu sebelum makan. Jangan terus makan je k eventho coklat je. 

bukan semua boleh makan dalam gambar ni

Paling mencabar masa breakfast was their ramen! Gila la semorang makan ramen panas panas engko satu family makan cereal dgn susu je. Cobaan betul. 😂 Eventho it was only a chicken ramen (this one i tahu sebab boleh google scan ingredients), jangan belasah asal boleh ya. Ada halal logo baru boleh sapedek. 

icha tak sabar nak minum but sadly kenot sebab tak halal hihi

Okay this was the hotel room. Tandas lupa nak ambik gambaq. Ka I da delete dah. Lupa hehe. They provide all the basic necessities. I book 2 twin bed sebab after few days adik I join sekali. Memang ngam ngam katil and orang lalu. Tapi takdelah rasa suffocated sangat. Okay la untuk rehatkan badan after berjalan sehari suntuk… 😊

Mesin basuh tak disediakan tau. Tapi sebab kami duduk sini lama, receptionist bagi kami guna mesin basuh dorng. Nak basuh dekat kedai sebenarnya, tapi pelik bin ajaib sebab tak jumpa dobi. Ke ada je dobi tapi kami tak perasan?  😅 Tilam hotel ni lembut. Balik berjalan terus gone tidur sampai ke pagi. I guess, misi mencari hotel selesa berjaya la kan?

This our first day dekat seoul, jemput tengok oki.

Can refer dekat gambar bawah ni untuk info hotel and rate sekali oki. Their front desk sangat membantu. Nak mintak direction or anything they will help you. I rasa banyak kali we ask them the direction, nak naik subway line berapa etc.

Masa nak pilih hotel ni, ibarat satu battle hidup atau mati. Hahahah over kan? Rasa nervous gila ya nak booking sebab takut pilih salah hotel. Disebabkan our trip was for 2 weeks, tu buat extra nervous tu. Kalau tak best, matila kan nak menghadap. Maka the best solution was to study. Masa master dulu pun tak gigih macamni k 😝

With the allocation of 5K budget for 13 night. Bila divide, untuk bajet satu malam dalam RM 400 max. Air bnb kena tolak tepi sebab memang out of budget ><. We look for a place that was near to subway station, nak ada breakfast , lepastu taknak area sunyi sebab risau if anything happen. 

Banyak tempat best kalau nak cari, area Itaewon kalau nak stay dekat tempat yang banyak halal food, area ewha kalau nak vibe vibe student, area Hongdae kalau cari surrounding/view best. Oh and shopping pun best! Finally, Myeondong! Orang kata this area is syurga shopping. Okay la for us, takdela best gilaaaaa. Tapi this area happening betui. Kitorng pi nearly hari hari for 14 days. Sampai cemuih la -.- 

So, berbaloi ke dengan research kemain lama tu? Haha okay la. We should change our hotel after every 4/5 days. So dapatla stay banyak tempat and merasa tido banyak tempat. Dah sampai sana baru terfikir this way. Rugi rugi. Kalau tak mesti lagi syok.

p/s: sebenarnya we were a bit confuse whether it was Ehwa or Ewha. Some of the items dalam hotel tulis Ehwa and some was the other way round. Ikut signboard beso luar hotel it was Ehwa hehe

p/p/s: lepasni I nak duduk air bnb. Dekat seoul banyak Airbnb yang style gila.
