This is a great review guys! Love a modern hotel in a middle of neighborhood, where you have to walk through a small alley to enter the hotel. Hotel looks very clean and modern but still got a touch of Chinese ancient architecture. Love that they also give you a plate of fruits 👌🏻 reminds me of hotels in Thailand 😃

They have all the bells and whistles!! So great to hear they are helpful with tours and setting up car rides. It always helps when public transportation is easy when you don't speak the language. We were wondering how much would a place like this cost per night? Especially with food included? Great video and love you guys to the mother effin' moon!

Often when you're exploring a new city and mainly hang out around touristy- and activity-spots you don't come across a local market where you could get some vitamins :D The atmosphere of the house and neighborhood is so amazing, perfect mix of old and modern convenience! Usually I skip the hotel breakfast, because I prefer to try out some local restaurants, but this one looks tooooo delicious and healthy :D Also Stranger-Things-high-five to Maria ;) Greetings from Seoul!!

Good to know about the water. We assumed that so bought all of our water. The Orchid was about $70-$80 a night when we went, which we thought was a fair price for the level of service. A lot of other similar hotels in the area would charge $60 per person per night, which we though was a bit much. The only thing is that you really have to make your reservation months in advance because it gets fully booked in no time.
