Central location, lots of restaurant choices and close to the metro station. Easy in and easy to get around. Second time is Seoul.
Get your shop on and delicious salt bread at local cafe near by. Location is key when you come here and the hotel is right in the heart of many convenient places.

The staff was friendly, location was AMAZING! A little challenging to find at first but once you do you’re going to love it. Walking distance to the train station and airport limousine bus stop! Food places are walking distance. Room was small but cozy! The washing machine was a plus! Figuring out the heating was tricky but once you do all is well! Fresh towels, water daily downstairs. Would stay again!

The weekend receptionist was really nice. The hotel is super convenient but not all uber taxis would meet at the hotel, so we would have to walk a block or so. I was charged for an extra person and there was a lot of miscommunication when It tried to fix it before we left. On arrival I tried again. The receptionist said they don't charge an extra person in a 3 person room if there are 3 people in the room. I showed her the receipt. She said she'd tell the manger and that he would come talk to us, and that never happened. We had 2 people in a 3 person room and I was charged $60 for an extra person.

Staff was excellent, kind and helpful. Check-in was a breeze and staff was very helpful in my looking for an outlet converter that I forgot at home. I asked if convenience stores would sell them but the staff directede to their vending machine which carried everything from converters, soda, and laundry detergent. The prices are very competitive and sometimes bettee than the convenience stores.

Eri at the front desk was very helpful when I wanted to use the dryer and even helped me figure out a food delivery app. I would stay again because I felt comfortable here and the neighborhood is a great location. Close to the nightlife but also in Insadong which has its own unique historical character.

Very conveniently located and affordable room. Was great having a kitchenette and washing machine in the room. I only wish there was some kind of kettle to boil water for coffee/tea. There is a shared microwave in the hall, but I just used the small skillet. Otherwise, large bathroom, good storage. The bed is hard as a rock, though. Like really sleeping on a sheet of plywood with a blanket on it. Staff was great and always very friendly, and checking in after hours was really easy!

The hotel is inside a very ugly looking street but just a few feet after it gets very cool.
The rooms are smaller than I expected and the sheets makes noise when you move. Go figure.
The staff is only available from 10 to 10.
The hallways are super noisy echoing with the slightest movement. The microwave is in the hallway next to them elevator.
Nothing to have breakfast around except coffee and bread. All the places around open at 11am.

Visit Seoul

Good location for sightseeing palaces. Many attractions are reachable with a 15-30 minute walk. Hotel location is about 2 blocks from Jongno 3-ga station. Getting there by AREX train to Seoul station, then walk via underground passage to Blue line, go 3 stops to destination, then walk through station to exit #5 or #5. Best Jongno 3-ga exit is exit #4 because of the escalator. We walked on street level from exit #1 because of our roller bags.

Fantastic stay for reasonable price. The location of the property was excellent for access to the metro and local Insadong area. Walkable to one of the main palaces and other tourist attractions. The metro is a five minute walk from the hotel so it’s easy to get to other areas.

The hotel room is small but well fitted out. We really appreciated the fridge and washing machine and the staff were lovely- very friendly and helpful. There is hot water in the foyer but the chap at reception noticed we liked tea and gave us a kettle for our room. We liked the fact that the room wasn’t cleaned every day and that they asked us if/when we wanted the bedding changed - far more environmentally friendly! Towels were readily available in reception as was water and toilet rolls.

Best of all worlds in our view. We had a twin room very comfortable beds and plenty of storage.

Great location, great facilities, friendly staff and great value for money.

Would definitely stay there again

Great location, but not in the best conditions

Stayed for 5 nights with my family. Great location with lots of restaurants and cafes, and short walk to major sites. The staff was also lovely and provided unlimited water bottles and towels. The hotel and room itself felt quite old and no curtain in shower meant that the whole bathroom gets wet. The washing machine is also in the men's bathroom in the lobby which was odd and meant as females we were uncomfortable going in while men are using urinals.

Had a great two-week stay. The proprietors were lovely and so helpful. Room was small but very clean and comfortable. Very convenient to have a clothes washer in the room, and there was a dryer on the main floor for a small charge of W5,000 (about US$4). Bottled water was provided daily.

Location is so good. Very short walk to Jongno 3-ga subway station, where you can get the 1,3 and 5 lines. Area is vibrant, especially in the evenings, but the noise doesn't reach the hotel. Slept great every night once the jet lag wore off.

This property had horrible customer service. Front line staff also known as the owner of the hotel had poor communication skills in addition to amenities that were not shared with guests upon check in. I would highly recommend that future individuals do not book this hotel.

I stayed for 5 nights.

The place is easy to access from the train station and the staffs were super nice and friendly. Communication was hassle-free and smooth as the staff speak English very well.

The room has washing machine inside which was great! They provide free laundry powder, so you can do laundry for free (but if you need the dryer you need to pay about 3000 won).

They room itself was good and very comfortable for solo traveler. If you have big luggage and travel in pair the space could be a bit tight for two people, but should be manageable.

The wallpaper in the room was a bit old and I found a baggage tag from previous guest on the wall... It went unnoticed by the cleaner some how.

Overall the stay was value for money and as advertised. Would stay here again.

Very nice and helpful staff. Rooms are minimalist, but you are not there to spend time I. Your room right. I wanted to bring pizza in late one night and the slender gentleman at the night desk told me it was not advised, tho there are kitchenettes in rooms??? Hair dryer kept shorting out. Awesome washer in room but must go to lobby for dryer and pay 1000 won. Would I stay here again, knowing what I am getting......... yes I would.

Great location and value for the price!

Great Hotel overall. Service was excellent with English speaking (for the most part) staff, and the location was awesome since it was centrally located. The rooms are a little small compared to western standards, but we were not expecting a resort and used the hotel mainly to sleep. Remember to bring a power adapter if you are from the states, and the wifi is reliable.

Breakfast is of lower standard compared to US hotel breakfasts, but it got the job done to get us a little bit of energy in our stomachs before we ventured out into the city and eat elsewhere for lunch.

Highly recommend for the price! If you are looking for a hotel to chill and relax with the family in this place might not be the best for you, but if you are in Seoul to explore what the city has to offer this place is perfect.

Great experience in this family own hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful! It is in the middle where the locals hang out- tons of restaurants and two blocks away from Insadong street. The subway is also a block away and plenty of sightseeing places near by (palaces, temples, and museums). I will highly recommend this hotel. The room were tiny, but very clean. DW :-)

Very Poor

The room was so tiny couldn't believe it. It was a small storage room size. it's only about 9-10 steps from the door to double bed fitted right to the adjacent wall.
Definitely not worth the room cost. However, the hotel provided a local phone for free of charge. Location wise was hard to find and not so great area.

Room is too too small and the location is awful. Not only that the AC is out of control and the breakfast was lousy. It was just terrible staying and experience ever so I couldn’t stay any more. After a few days I checked out the hotel during the middle of my paid-staying, therefore I lost and wasted a lot of my money. The pictures they put into their Ad, they’re all fake.

Quiet location but close to subways

Our family room is too small for 3 of us but it has a washing machine (without dryer) that is useful for us. Complimentary toiletries were limited so don't expect the daily toothbrushes, cotton buds, combs. But I love the big 750ML bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash which you don't find in a 3 star hotel.
All the hotel staff are really friendly, you can ask them anything. I told them about \"dirty\" linen and it felt like it has not been changed before since the last guests left. The man at the reception apologized and bed linens were changed when I got back.

Hidden gem in insadong

The place is next to nakwon musical instrument Market and accessible to jangno-3-ga subway by 3 mins walk. Along the alley way, there are plenty of eateries and art and crafts. Everything is walking distance. The hotel serves basic breakfast which is sufficient. The room comes with washing machine which is very useful for family with kids. You can either go to rooftop to hang dry or use the tumble dryer at lobby. The room is sufficient to families with 2 kids and 2 bags plus 2 strollers. It has plenty of storage as long as you know how to arrange it properly. We travelled in a group of 16 pax and the airport bus is around 8 minutes walk only.

Great location, clean & comfortable but very small

The hotel is in a great location, conveniently served by 3 subway lines and plenty of buses along Jongno road. It is right next to Insadong. The neighbourhood has many small alleys with interesting restaurants that see long queues during lunch hour. At night the street comes to live with many street stalls. It is walking distance to several palaces, Bukchon Hanok village and the Cheongyecheon river.

The room is clean and comfortable, but it is very small. If you have big luggage, it will be a problem. I had to tug my luggage under the table top and I can't leave it open.

There is a kitchenette. A cooking pan is provided but not plates and cutlery. It's unnecessary as there are plenty of food options around. There is a microwave oven at the corridor on each floor and that's good enough. There is a washing machine and you can hang your clothes on the roof top. But I would rather trade the washing machine and kitchenette for more space.

Breakfast is basic and boring (same every day).

If you are coming direct from the airport, a more convenient way is to take the all stop train to Gongdeok station instead of Seoul station. Change to the purple line (line 5) and stop at Jongno 3ga. Come out from exit 4, you see a small alley right across the road. Walk down the alley and the hotel is on the left at the end of the alley.

Overall, great stay except for the really tight space.

Nice hotel in Insadong

Convenient location with lots of nice restaurants in the area! The dumpling (mandu) place near the hotel was great and a queue formed before the opening at 11:30am.

Room is clean although a little small, but all is great for a short stay. Hotel staff were kind and friendly and speak good/understandable English. Only downside was that they forgot to remove the previous guest's clothing (should have been left behind by accident) before we checked in to our room. Thanks Top for the good stay!

Right next to everything...everything.

A small but very comfortable room with everything you need to make your stay memorable. Air conditioning unit controlled via remote, a large TV with many channels to choose from, shower, kitchenette and the \"piece de resistance\" a washer for your dirty laundry ( you can dry your laundry on the roof )
But the best part of this hotel is that it's a stone throw away from Insadong, 15 minutes walk to two major palaces, a few minutes away from another one and a small park to the south. 3 metro lines are very near the hotel with the Anguk station being the closest. Loads and loads of restaurants to choose from and tons of activities and shopping, all that in less than 30 minutes walking distance.
The hosts are amazing people, always there to help you out.
You also have a good starter breakfast, after all you want to keep some room for those Korean pancakes, eggbread or chocolate bread available at the many street food kiosk around.

Nice location and not much else.

My wife and I wanted a one-night getaway from Yongin where we both work and went to Seoul to attend a weekend cultural festival. This hotel seemed like the perfect location because of its proximity to Isa-dong and Gwanghwamun square.When we were checking in the hotel staff (a middle-age man and woman) realized that they had given our room to someone else so they scrambled to give us a room reserved by another guest. The bathroom was small, no problem, it's a small hotel. But it was missing many basic toiletries offered by other hotels (toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving cream, etc.).
The sleep was one of the worst I had among many hotels I stayed at. There was no sound insulation in the walls so you could hear people talking in the hallway as if your door was open. The pipes in the bathroom were making so much noise that I thought the toilet had overflowed.

At least they had free breakfast. Which was meh..
