For me, it's "God".On the first day, I checked into the accommodation I had planned for 4 nights and 5 days, and spent a few hours there, but I felt it was impossible due to the environment, so I searched for accommodation.I am also very grateful that I was able to make a reservation just in advance.I was able to spend the remaining 3 nights and 4 days without stress.I attended a web meeting for work during my stay, but there was no noise or background noise.This trip to Korea cost me double lodging, but staying here offset that.

We booked a triple room for a week. The beds are comfortable and the room is very clean, but they are small, especially if you have large suitcases, since there are no closets. The bathroom is good, they leave you soap. I don't know what happens with the chargers, but the iPhones didn't charge well. Except for that, the stay was great, the service very friendly. They kept our suitcases until it was time to leave once we had checked out. And it is in a perfect area to move, to eat and to shop. The neighborhood is very nice.

A nice hotel to stay in the tourist central place - very close to the Bus Station as well as Subway.The room was quite cozy and clean and maintained - staff were friendly and helpful even though they don't speak good English and would come to your room to help with any kind of issues.The Hotel serves only breakfast (purchased separately) as the Insadong street is always lively and bustling during the days and evenings and there are no shortage of places to eat.

“Great Deal in INSADONG Area”It is highly recommended for its location. Just near Jongno-sam ga subway station and walking distance to different palaces (like Gyeongbukgong) and traditional places (like Bukchon Hanok Village). There are also a lot of restaurants nearby and there's a convenience store a few steps away. The room is quite compact but it is sufficient. They also clean the room everyday so you can go back to a clean and relaxing space after a long and tiring day. I would recommend this hotel when visiting Korea.

It's close to popular stores, you can flush toilet paper down the toilet, it's quiet, and at this price it was the best choice ☺️Cleaning is appropriate (lol)

Good points・The sink is located in the room separate from the bathroom, making it easy to use.・Although the person at the front desk is not Japanese, he can speak Japanese, so it was easy to ask questions and he was kind.・I was able to watch Netflix on the TV in my room (if I logged in).・The location is convenient as there are convenience stores and restaurants just a short walk away. It's about a 5 minute walk to the limousine bus stop.Bad points・When I used a converter, the outlet was shaky and I couldn't charge my phone unless I held it down for a long time.-Bathroom is small and difficult to wash.・The shower curtain wasn't long enough and the bathroom floor got wet. Also, I think it's supposed to be replaced and washed when cleaning, but there was a lot of hair tangled in the hem, so I guess I didn't replace it even once? It became. Naturally, the smell was terrible, like the smell of aging.Precautions・Nightwear is not provided, so please prepare your own.・The provided shampoo will make your hair frizzy, so if you are concerned about it, it is better to bring your own.

Best location to stay if ever you visit Seoul. Near to gyeongbokgung palace, myeongdong and other tourist spots. I was a bit hesitant to book this hotel because of earlier reviews (AC not working, stained carpet, dated interior l) BUT proved it all wrong - maybe they heard all the other reviews of previous guests and they listened, which is a plus point for me! AC is working perfectly (I think because it’s new), bed is okay, no carpet stains, bathroom is superb, room is clean and the staff are all amazing and very helpful. During our stay they are in the process of revamping the place actually and receptionist apologises to us coz we may hear “construction noises” but it didn’t bother us nor hear any noise at all. Will definitely stay here again.
