Seoul, door to door
In Seoul the question is rarely distance. It is the building: who lets a visitor in, which lift they can use, and whether the front desk needs a name first.
By type of stay
What usually needs arranging
- Hotels
Many hotels ask visitors to stop at the front desk, and some lifts only move with a room key card. Check your hotel's policy, and be ready to come down to the lobby or let the desk know a visitor is expected.
- Serviced residences
Often run like a hotel with a concierge, sometimes with a separate residents' entrance. Tell us which entrance to use and whether the concierge registers guests.
- Short-stay apartments and officetels
Usually no reception at all, but a street-door code or intercom and a unit number. Share these only after we confirm the visit, not in your first message.
- Guesthouses
Shared spaces and house rules vary. A private room is needed, and the host's rules on visitors come first.
