My visit: December 27, 2011
The Riverside Hotel
6-1, Jamwon-dong,
Seocho-gu, Apgujeong/ Cheongdam,
Seoul, Korea
Looks can be deceiving! The Riverside Hotel seems impressive at first because it is a boutique hotel. This is my least favorite hotel. Thank goodness we only stayed here for two nights. Read after the break to find out why I am pissed off...
twin bed ; (
On our fourth night, we still didn't get the bed that we requested for. I would later find out that king size bed is hard to come by in Korea ; (
Our twin beds were neatly tucked. The room is quite small but so are the rest of the hotel rooms that we have stayed in. I like the headboard. It gives the room an added class ; p

What's in the room:
- LCD TV
- Free WIFI/ LAN
- Coffee/ Tea maker
toilet & bath
Here goes my rant...
When I took the shower the next day, I had difficulty mixing the hot & cold water. Upon setting it to the desired temperature, the water that comes out would suddenly turn so hot. I thought that they would have fixed the problem because one traveller even wrote about it in Tripadvisor.
The next day, DH removed the shower head and that solved the problem. I hope the hotel could fix this problem ASAP.

dinner that night
Our dinner is a Korean stew with lots and lots of vegetables. It's very delicious and we had Coke for the first time that night lol
Next stop Changdeokgung Palace and Kimchi Making!
