"The hotel is located in western Cheongju, making transportation quite convenient. Public transportation is well-established, making it easy to get to various attractions in the city.
The room is a bit small, but for the price, it's still acceptable. Forget about the bicycle.
One thing I learned this time: transportation is actually more convenient near Cheongju University.
Check-in was very quick. The hotel had already prepared the room key, so it was a snap. Upon check-out, you simply placed your key in a box at the front desk.
There's a 24-hour convenience store right outside the hotel, making it easy to shop.
However, during my visit to Cheongju, I discovered that WeChat and Alipay payment options were very limited, so I didn't use them even once. Perhaps there aren't enough Chinese people visiting the area, and the promotion hasn't been strong enough.
Thankfully, I brought my credit card, which was very convenient, both at convenience stores and restaurants.
T-money cards are accepted here, making public transportation very convenient.
I wandered around Cheongju for two days and couldn't find a single currency exchange. There was only one at the airport, and the exchange rate was average. For those of you coming back, please exchange a sufficient amount of Korean won back home. Cheongju is a beautiful small city, comfortable, clean, and perfect for relaxing.
Thank you, Ctrip. We trust Ctrip."
