aFIRST Hotel Myeong dong

1. September 8, ~8:30AM I asked a female staff how to get to Gyeongbokgung, the direction she gave me is to take subway #1 from City Hall to Jongno 3 (sam) -ga. I looked at the map and it did not make sense to me, so when I left the hotel (~9:00AM), I asked another male staff, he told me the better way is to walk, 15 minutes. 2. September 9, ~10:00PM The same female staff: I asked her how much and how much time it would take from the hotel to Seoul Train station if I needed to arrive the station at 5:00AM for my 5:15 KTX. The price she gave me was 6,000 and it would take 40 minutes. She said I could book a taxi only the day before, not 2 days ahead. 3. September 10, ~8:00PM When I wanted to book a taxi with one of a female staffs for September 11 early morning, she said I could not book a taxi ahead of time and asked me to come down to front desk the next day in the early morning, their staff would call a taxi. Her answer was not acceptable, and I wanted her to consult the female staff who I talked to on September 9, they finally agreed to book a taxi for me. However, the price went up to 15,000. 4. September 11, 4:20AM It only took 10 minutes from the hotel to Seoul Station in the early morning, I arrived at Seoul train station at 4:30PM for my 5:15KTX. I am pretty upset about these two female staffs. They should know better about their hotel and Seoul.
