Seoul Searching in South Korea | IP Boutique Hotel Itaewon Seoul

| Superior Room IP Boutique Hotel |
I love boutique hotels! If only I have the luxury of booking any hotel without thinking of the budget, I will always choose to book in boutique hotels. The ambience has a hip feel with high end facilities that's totally charming.
I've been eyeing IP Boutique Hotel for weeks since I saw it on the internet, I fell for its unique, lively but intimate interiors but unfortunately their rate was way beyond my budget. So I decided that it would be practical to book a cheaper hotel as my second option. But after few weeks of procrastinating when I finally decided to book the cheaper hotel, it was already full so I tried for more cheap options but surprisingly every single cheap hotel in Itaewon was fully booked. So it left me with no choice but to stay in IP Boutique Hotel (good thing Agoda offers discounted rates)

IP Boutique Hotel is located in Itaewon, a tourist area in Seoul. IP is short for Imperial Palace which is a well-known hotel chain all over the world but its difference from other Imperial Palace hotels is that it has flair, wild colors and edgy interiors.

I stayed in a superior twin room located at the 8th floor. It has comfy beds with complete amenities.

The only downside of the bathroom is it has frosted glass and see-through wall that might give an uncomfortable feeling if you are staying there with a friend.
The cost of a Superior Room is W 220,000.00 (Php 9,475.00) per night with complimentary breakfast. But through Agoda I only paid for P5,000 + tax that totaled to Php 7,206.00 per night but without breakfast.
Buffet Breakfast
Even if breakfast was not included, I gave it a try. Buffet breakfast cost at at around P833. Buffet Breakfast is located at the ground floor, the restaurant gives a bright and happy ambience with French detailed wares.

| Good morning Seoul! |
The placemat changes everyday, it's sort of a sneak peek of a newspaper headline with a notable history that happened on today's date, plus included also is the weather in different areas in Seoul (uniquely good idea!)

Here are the choices- salad, fruits, selection of bread, cereals...

The breakfast selection is few and the menu doesn't change so if you want an everyday new experience, their breakfast buffet might not satisfy you.
Other Offerings
From all the other hotels I've been to IP Boutique Hotel was the only hotel that offers cellphone rental which cost W 5,000 (Php 216) per day plus usage fee.
