I’m also doing free & easy but only to seoul for this trip. Personally I think jeju is a very nice place not to be missed. I suggest u look up trip advisor for advice & recommendation, as most ppl here are into local package tour instead of DIY.

Hi applejuz

I booked Metro hotel in myeongdong. Very near to eateries, mrt & the airport bus stop.

Hi mummy chia,


Thanks, I’ve checked with that hotel but their bigger rooms are all fully booked?
Any 2nd opinion?
Would Ibis or Prince be good choice too?
It’ll be winter and I’ve got a 1yo toddler in my grp, so must choose easy to access place. Thanks in advance.

though metro hotel is a small hotel, given their rates & location, the rooms are always fully booked. i booked mine months ago earlier this year.
in terms of location, personally i prefer ibis (actually metro is just abt next door), the airport bus stops directly infront of the hotel & mrt is just a stone throw away. eateries & shopping is right at door step. but i think their rooms are small & price is abit ex.
for prince hotel, actually its not that bad, there are also eatries nearby but the airport bus stops opp the hotel so u have to cross the road.
i'm not sure if u are taking the airport bus or charter a taxi since u are quite a big group. maybe u can check both hotels regarding room rates & availability of rooms since its peak season in dec.

hi hi,


Any recommendation for ski resorts, with entertainment for big & small?
Planned 2D1N stay straight after arriving at their airport
Its so exciting & yet stressful to piece up all bookings & itineries.

Yes I agree exciting yet stressful to plan everything but it's the achievement that's fulfilling. U can refer to the winterfriend website on ski resort which I recommend to another mummy in the earlier post.

For DIY, let’s say i reach incheon, then anyway i can go direct to skiing resort, for 2-3 nights then only go to seoul for another 2-3 nights and where can i book local tour when in town ? jeju is not important as my kids wont appreciate scenary…
