Micollh,

U r not alone I have a 1yo, 3, 5 & 7yo in my grp.
And I'm going f&e too.

Just settle my hotel, now looking for 2d1n ski resort.
As it'll be cold, I'll try to find those accomodation which is self
Sufficient, or with shelter connecting path to other Plc.

Mummychia,
I also booked Ibis Myeongdong.
Seems its the best location liao.

can share which skii resort u go to ? how u book ur hotel ? via online? ibis Myeongdong website plsss.. and how u go from airport to ur hotel ? when u go to skiing resort, ur hotel how? will u go jeju ?

for Ibis, http://www.ibishotel.com/
i check, it only allow 2 Adults +1 child max in the room.. i have 2 kids,, how huh

CMF:

To keep hands warm (on top of wearing gloves), check out heat packs which are palm sized packs which are nice and warm when packs are opened - they stay warm for a few hours and are very useful to have in your coat pockets. I previously bought them from the winter wear section of John Little. They have more variety of such packs in Seoul.

thanks ! if my plan confirm.. will definitely get these.. else kids cant stand the cold !

u can check with ibis if they have bigger room to accommodate 2A2C. i also hv 2 kids, have booked metro hotel which is next to ibis. if u book ibis hotel, u can take the airport bus which stop directly infront of the hotel.

Hi Micollh,

Ibis, I email the hotel & book from them. It’s free cancellation if inform 24hr prior to arrival. Ya… The room is 2+1, I took 4 room, will distribute each kid. And toddle in bb cot.
U can consider their 2 single bed, push together shld be able to take 2 more kids.
Otherwise like what other mummy sugg, Metro has bigger room.

mummychia, besides seoul itself, will u stay overnight elsewhere like skiing resort or jeju ? then the central hotel how u arrange? leave it or leave to other sites of interest then go airport (home) direct ? how to go to metro/ibis hotel from aiport? their train or cab ?

[micollh]

by the way, which airline u guyes book ? SQ now still can get their offer for booking early, average 700+ per person.

i will be taking the airport bus to metro hotel. if u have lots of luggage i suggest u take airport bus coz there's quite alot of stairs in the subway so rather inconvenient.
when is your travel date? if its in dec same as applejuz, chances of getting metro may be slim as its peak season, thats why i recommend her to try ibis though the room abit small. u can email metro hotel to enquire.

i'm staying 8 nights in seoul, not going to jeju or ski resort as my trip is in nov. though it seems abit long but somehow i cant squeeze in jeju, most probably will visit on my next trip.
