We only stayed here 1 night to attend to business we had in Insa-dong. This location is very convenient to walk to many areas around Insadong and Myeongdong. The breakfast was simple, but really good and appreciated. The beds were very comfortable. It was really good for one night for our family, and would be fine for a couple for multiple nights, but the room was too small for us to have stayed for a week. If it was just my husband and I it would work. This is a great place for couples on a budget though! Very good value for what you get!

Unfortunately when I booked this hotel, I didn't know it was actually a Motel. Room is big, but no place to store clothes and/or luggage. Just like a motel, you can hear everything. But the location is great. Very very close to everything. Breakfast is very basic, what you'd expect for a motel facility.

My reason for picking this hotel was its central location in Seoul as well as what another reviewer said about being able to store luggage for a few hours after checkout. I don't think the complimentary breakfast was listed in the amenities, but it should be! Can't say we loved the whole bathroom being a shower room or the tiny sink with no counter space for toiletries, but what was there was clean.

Great choices of breakfast. Room is clean. Good location in a bustling area yet nestled inside a quiet lane off the busy street. It is close to Ikseo-dong and Insadong, and not far away from Myeondong and the Palace. Subway and buses are close too. It is in Jongno 3 ga area. Very convenient. The only strange thing is that the shower area is not walled/partitioned off from the toilet. So the whole bathroom floor gets wet after the shower. Also the room is a bit small.
