3 Days in Seoul: Should You Stay in One Area or Move Hotels?
Changing hotels can look efficient on a map, but on a short Seoul trip it often consumes more time than it saves.
For most first-time visitors with three days in Seoul, one well-chosen hotel base is better. Use the subway to visit different districts instead of packing, checking out and checking in again.
Hotel changes have hidden costs
Even a short move involves packing, luggage storage, check-out rules, transport and another check-in. Those tasks break up a sightseeing day.
Choose the base before the itinerary
Pick a neighborhood that works for the majority of your plans, then group each day geographically. That usually protects more usable time than moving accommodation.
