Tracia, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Everything was walkable and close to all three subway lines. Food options were great. My only issue was our room was quite tight with no storage options so our clothing either stayed
Andy, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a great oasis to center yourself while visiting Seoul! Can't wait to stay here again! Staff were extremely accommodating and helpful - cannot stress this enough. Especially compared to other places I've stayed in Korea that were more expensive. Thank you for making our stay with my elderly mother that much more comfortable and meaningful.
Andy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Area was central to lots of attractions and bus/ subway station. Lots of cafes nearby. The area outside is not the cleanest but it was not a big negative for me. Enjoyed my stay and would definitely book again.
Shelby Skylar, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

Great newly renovated hotel. Staff is excellent. What we loved most was how we didn’t hear other guests in the next room. Would have loved to have a better shower door that was easier to close and perhaps a shelf for my own toiletries in the shower. Breakfast was ok, we were there 3 days and there’s almost zero variety of food items. The scrambled eggs seemed a little runny too.
Merryn, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Everything was Fine
Jung Ho, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The air conditioning barely kept my room cool. I’ve stayed at the Ibis Myeongdong, Ibis Styles Myeongdong, and Ibis Busan City Centre. They all have better aircon. Otherwise, my stay was great!
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing location and good hotel

Very nice hotel, location perfect and very friendly staff. All good and clean! When we were there the AC was not working but probably it was only temporary. Highly recommend it!
Tereza, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

They have wonderful staff and very nice views from the hotel window. It was very clean and organized since you could ask for something like only your bed sheets cleaned or replaced towels with a simple paper card. A quick tip is that most things open later around 10am-12pm but even with that everything is empty until the afternoon and night time. Also, I just used wifi to get around Seoul since there were many Public Wifi areas. Thank you Insadong for a wonderful stay!
Saruul, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Would be 5 stars if you could set your own temperature in the room. 24c/75F is just too hot for sleeping for me.Each
JOAN, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly. The room isn't large, but everything is there. We had a pleasant stay. Our air conditioning wasn't working; the temperature remained at 25 degrees Celsius (outside of a heatwave). After reporting it, it was fixed within 10 minutes. What could be improved is the breakfast arrangement: an illogical order creates unnecessary delays. The coffee corner is also illogical and is right next to a breakfast table.
Theodora Hendrika De, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I like everything
Maria, 13-night trip

4/10 Poor

Employees are helpful. The room temperature was 24.5 degree while sleeping and had to call feont desk in the middle of the night. A bed was not comfortable due to middle of the bed was sinking. The room is super small so no space to put luggages and bathroom is tiny.
Kyoung-Ok, 2-night trip
