Seoul Free and easy : SEasons TAble Korean Buffet

AFter watching a Korean Variety Show of Koreans feasting on Korean food during a buffet.

I was determined to find a buffet to feast at Seoul. 

The location is accessible. I went to branch at Lotte Fitting which is Dongdaemun History and Cultural park subway station exit 11. 

It is quite reasonable especially for lunch on weekdays, it is around 15 000 won.

There is quite a large variety of food but is definitely not as much as those international buffet.

The menu changes as I went in June and November, the photos are a combination of both trips.

There are some menu changes.

For example, the DIY waffle machine is only seen during my November visit. 

The food was of good quality and fresh. The ambiance was quiet. It is a good place to chill and have a relaxing lunch. 

The negative point is that some of the food can get a bit cold as the food is not keep on a warmer. They serve hot soup and rice.

You can also order hot beef soup and noodles.

Korea Seoul Free and EAsy : Holiday Inn Hongdae

 We decide to stay at Holiday Inn Express Hongdae for one day

Reason for choosing this hotel
1) it is just above the Arex Hongik University, it is easy to travel to and fro the airport.
2) It was Halloween. It should be more happening at Hongik University, so we decide to stay at Hongik University
3) Hongik has more interesting food and cafes. The food is cheaper at Hongik too compared to Myeongdong.
4) The hotel looks new and comfortable and it is.
5) We stayed at Airbnb at Hongik once, there was no hot water from 11pm to 6am. It makes things very inconvenient if you need a good bathe before sleeping.
6)It is near to the quiet side of Hongik, with escalator up and down riding and also near to the side (subway exit 3) which has more nice cafes
7) It is easy to travel to Seoul. It is useful for people making a lot of day trains via KTX


Reason for not choosing this hotel
1) It is quite a distance like 5-10 minutes from the subway line.Hongik university station is very big so it will be hard to reach the subway Hongik station.
2) It is not convenient to travel to a lot of other location as it is not at a very centralized location.



We enjoyed our stay. We will back for another stay.
