Our home base for the week in Seoul was the Hotel Aventree Jogno. This was centrally located, which made touring very easy. From Seoul Station, take Line 1 toward Soyosan. Get off 2 stops later at Jonggak. Take Exit 3-1. Follow the signs and when you see Exit 3, turn completely around and you'll see a bookstore down a small flight of stairs. Take the exit on the right after the bookstore. You'll come out at the Jongno Tower.
Walk straight ahead and you'll pass a statue that looks like "Iron Man" about a block away.
Hotel Aventree is a 5-minute walk from Jonggak Station. The hotel has 12 stories and our room was located on the 11th floor.
Even though we faced the street, our room was quiet. We had 2 twin beds and there was just enough room between the beds and the wall to walk by but the room was spacious enough.
The bathroom wall was a frosted window so you can see shadows in the bathroom from the bedroom.
There is a safe, refrigerator and high-tech toilet. You get a complimentary bottle of water every day, although the tap water is safe to drink. Breakfast was not included in our hotel rate. There is a 7-11 in the hotel.
Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Jongmyo Shrine and Bukchon Hanok Village are 10 minutes walk. Insadong pedestrian shopping district is 1 block away. Cheong-gye-cheon stream is less than 10 minutes away and City Hall, Seoul Plaza and Deoksugung are 15 minutes away. For anything further, the subway is 2 blocks away.
