Clean and attentive/friendly staffs - Review of Fraser Place Central Seoul, Seoul, South Korea. Very nice hotel, with friendly staffs and attentive staffs.
Asked for a late check-out by a hour and it's done immediately, very efficient. Close to 2 subway stations, City Hall and Seodaemun stations. Quite a distance to these 2 stations (around 5 mins or 10 mins if you take a slow walk) but the hotel is still conveniently located. You can take a cab to Myeongdong or Dongdaemun market as it's around 5 - 10 mins ride only, and it's cheap. There's a 7-11 opposite the apartment too, and nearby there are cheap and local food restaurants that are family run-ed business. Room are clean and there's room service too.
Price is a little pricey as compared to nearby serviced apartments like Vabien Suits, or Brownsweet apartment.

Good Finds at Seoul's Traditional Markets Seoul has several different traditional markets that all have its own unique flavor.
Young or old (mostly old), hundreds of people gather to sell/buy goods. When you enter these markets, you really begin to get a feel of what Korea was like in the past. These parts of Korean culture have been preserved and left untouched, at least in comparison with the modernization that has taken place all across Seoul in the past 60 years. You will hear Korean ahjummas loudly bargaining with customers, smell the aroma of tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) and soondae (pig intestines), and get a genuine feel for Korean culture!

Seoul Itaewon and other Shopping Reviews. Itaewon is a mighty strange area.
It is very western friendly, but also kind of third worldish at times. I love it because for a first time visitor to Seoul, it is a good place to ease into it. Many vendors speak english, during the day there is very little to zero crime, and there are actually some good buys on things....There is also Hwenson Lee! Seoulistic - Korea Simplified.
Seoul: 10 Things to Do — Introduction. Seoul: First-time Visitors. Seoul (pronounced "Suh-Ool", not "Soul", and DEFINITELY NOT "See-Ole") is the largest city and capital of the Republic of Korea (also known as "South Korea").
When including Incheon and the surrounding suburbs, Seoul is the second largest metropolitan area in the world (after Tokyo) with over 25 million people. It is only one-twelfth the size of Beijing in terms of area, but has a larger population. This makes for a very crowded city with lots of traffic. While New Yorkers or Parisians may get used to the pushing and shoving in the subways at rush hour or the occasional bumping into strangers in the busy shopping malls on the weekends, it can be a new experience for people used to a more sedate and relaxed lifestyle. 20 great things to do in Seoul - Time Out Travel.

The former kings must have chosen the place due to its good fengshui as it overlooks a mountain.
