Nowadays, there is no real diff in pricing between single room & double room..

The meaning can be sigle bed or double bed. Single - one Quen /King size & Double -2Xsingle or 2X Queen depening on hotel

What youi mean is probably hostel stay where you share wth others..more like B&B? probably check wth histel world & the innosotel link on pg 1?

hi guys,

I found cheap ticket to seoul and do no planning at all.

should i do planning then only buy the ticket or buy the ticket then only do trip planning?

how many days will be best to travel around seoul and maybe to Busan and Jeju Island?

pls help and thanks in advance.

I actually booked my plane ticket before planning my actual trip. Itineraries are always flexible. For my case, I travelled about 6 days at Seoul and 3 days at Busan. If Seoul + Jeju, it would be good if u can spend about 4 days at Seoul + 4 days at Jeju. For Busan, there's nothing much to see actually, 2 or 3 days would be more than sufficient.

Added on March 2, 2011, 4:49 pmSure u can. However, if it happens that the dorm are fully booked. U have to sleep with 5 others strangers. Anyway, it's good to make frens with others. I tried before sleeping with a few Sweedish and Americans. They are fun buddies though.

Same here. My friends and I also bought the flight tickets first because it was cheap. Then we planned our itineraries. We took almost 5 months planning it.

thanks for the info guys .. !!
got the tix on feb2012 long way to go though

Bought my flight tickets for RM900. What is the most budgetable I can go? (As in lowest possible cost of d whole trip with this tickets price) Any suggestion of budget hotels in Seoul and Jeju? Going on 6 days trip in 3 pax.

I stayed in Flower Hotel (Booked from Airasia. Booked a room of 2 but 3 of us shared the bed. Cheap + Good).
For Jeju, I would recomend Jeju Hiking Inn at Seowigpo city. Not a bad place to stay at.
The cost varies according to how u plan ur trip. We managed to keep it under 1.3k for everything excluding air tix for a 9 day trip which includes 2 way KTX tickets from Seoul to Busan.

+1, actually planning to go to gold coast, but at that time got seoul promo. so, just bought it and than only plan it slowly for several month.

Hi...can i have more info for this Grape Garden House plz?

http://grapegardenhouse.com/

Here you are. Their website. Can actually make ur bookings there.

thanks for the info! will definitely check out the guesthouse you mentioned.

anyone going over during the first week of july? this is my first trip there, so it'd be nice to know others going there as well!

[/QUOTE]Try Grape Garden House. Stayed there again with my family this time round. As pleasant as usual, and convenient. Just board AREX train from/to Incheon Airport there.

You mean wildflower hotel? if i book room for 2, it will be queen bed or separated singles?

our itinerary is quite tight. arriving midnight on 19th and leaving 8am on 26th. means we only have 20-25th.

Good since we are on tight budget. Not good cause not enough time to really explore the place T__T

Erm, no. It's Flower Hotel at Cheongyangni area, u can actually indicate whether u want a Double room or Twin room. Quite a nice place to stay at with good restaurants around. Well, 6 days are actually quite a lot for Seoul. Enjoy ur trip!

what is the weather and temperature like ?
when travel in mid of march?

We will be going to Korea on 27 May.

I'm heading to Korea tomorrow... Hope the weather will be good...

I am going on 20th March which is another 2 weeks to go. I am pretty sure that we dont need visa to go to Korea. Just bring our passport along, stamp at LCCT and then another stamp at Incheon. More like visa on arrival.

But my friend was poisoning my mind, he said better check with the Korean Embassy wether I need to get visa before I fly. Do we need it? Tell me we Malaysian does not need to get a visa before we fly. Just bring your passport is enough. Right?
