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.

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.

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!

An excellent location with many great neighborhoods and sights within walking distance. The hotel is quiet and clean. My only complaint is an insufficient number of laundry washers and dryers. Only two of each available to guests and pricey (5000 won per load per machine.)
