Very good location for a budget hotel. Staff have a good understanding of English so communication was an ease for me. The rooms are a bit smaller than I am used to but this was a base for me to rest tired feet after exploring. Bathroom came with a full bidet system like japan so this was a nice surprise ! For anyone that loves to walk and explore, the hotel is approximately 30min walking pace to myeongdong night market/Myeongdong Cathedral. 20mins to Kwangjang market. (Time will vary based on your own walking speed) Comments: the bathroom door handle was a bit loose so please get someone to get this fixed for that room.

This place is extremely small. I was only 1 person in this room, I couldn’t imagine staying here with another person. There’s no space for luggage, I had to open it on the couch. The bathroom is tiny. The glass between the shower and toilet do nothing. Absolutely everything gets drenched. They don’t even give you soap at the sink cause I presume they just want you to turn around and use the body wash. Towels, extra TP etc are all kept outside of the bathroom cause everything will get drenched. Fridge barely gets your drinks cold and there’s no way to adjust the temperature. Room was clean, bed was alright. I would not stay here again based on what I paid.

Insadong is in the art and diamond district, theres plently of shops and souvenirs around, plus restaurants too. The hotel is tucked away a little and can feel a little unsafe for the short walk along the pavement if you are alone. There are lights, though. The cafe area in the lobby was shut, but it is attached to a 'CU' which is similar to 7eleven. Theres a massage place in the lower ground floors and a lot of close transport connections. I asked for my room to be made up 10 minutes after the cleaners were meant to have finished at 3pm, but when I came back later that day they had cleaned my room which was so lovely! You get 2 bottles of water a day and they also give slippers and robes which is not something I expected. Great bonus. I didn't really enjoy the wet room since there was only 1 mirror in the room and it was in the bathroom. The wetroom got everything wet when you went in the shower. The room was a little tight around the bed and the wall to get round to the couch area and table, but not a big problem for me. Overall, it was a really nice place and I would go back if I wanted to stay in the same neighborhood.

This hotel is in an amazing location. The staff was really helpful and attentive. Some minor amenities were not provided due to Korean law, but nothing to impact the stay. The rooms were very clean and relatively large for Asia. The layout of the bathroom was a bit odd. Overall this hotel was excellent for the price and the staff was great and helpful. Would recommend.

Super clean, very helpful and friendly staff. Right in the middle of a bunch of shopping and tons of restaurants, and an arcade all in walking distance. Right near the subways and bus terminals. There is a convenience store on the bottom floor, and a Hanoi massage spa in the basement. The room was a bit small but I think that's kind of standard for Korea. Overall really great, fully recommend staying!

Great location, decent hotel

This hotel was very conveniently located. It was about a 6 minute walk to the subway station with plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. It was also super close to Bukchon Hanok village and both Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changgyeonggung Palace. The hotel itself was nice. It was quiet and clean but rooms were definitely cramped. My only complaint was the bathroom set up. The shower is right next to the sink and toilet with no real wall or curtain so it's impossible to take a shower without getting water over the entire bathroom. It made it difficult for just two people to get ready in the room. Other than that, the rooms were fine and the beds were comfortable.

I really appreciate how the hotel is conveniently located near a metro station, making it easy to get around Seoul. Plus, there’s a bus stop just a short walk away, so travelling anywhere is a breeze. The neighbourhood is full of great places to eat, including late-night stalls where you can grab a bite and enjoy a drink. What I loved most was having a convenience store right beneath our hotel rooms. Every morning, we'd grab coffee from there and bring it back to enjoy before heading out to explore. The front desk staff were courteous and efficient, making both check-in and check-out a seamless experience.
