This is a very quiet and comfortable hotel located in a great location. Walking distance to many places like Myeongdong, Insadong, Ikseon-dong. There is a subway entrance near the hotel. The AC is nice. Front desk is always friendly when I come and go. Check in and check out was very smooth. I will stay here when I come back to Seoul again. The airport limousine bus dropped me off right infront the hotel, you just have to walk a little bit through the alley and you're there. My bed was super comfortable and pillows had good cushion. I slept great every night. Lots of food options nearby. Convenience stores nearby too.

Located in the centre of a block down a dirty alleyway. HOWEVER, the hotel itself was clean and very comfortable with a very good bathroom. Staff were courteous and helpful. Very close to the subway and many historic tourist sites. Rooftop common area was very pleasant and gave a great view of this busy neighborhood. Recommended for those who require a functional and comfortable room and are not particular about hotel exterior. I would recommend this hotel to friends.

Right in the middle of a market and close to palaces and the revamped old town streets. The rooms are small but okay if you just use them for sleep.

A Hidden Gem in Authentic Seoul If you're seeking an authentic Seoul experience away from the tourist areas, then I recommend Grid Inn. This boutique hotel sits in one of Seoul's working-class neighborhoods and that's precisely its charm. The staff here are warm and attentive, treating guests like friends rather than room numbers. I was able to practice my traveller's Korean with them. Rooms are clean, and any housekeeping requests are handled promptly. But you are not here for the rooms. You're here for the convenient location. The hotel is in Jingo district central Seoul, away from the hotel districts like Myeongdong (which is a fifteen minute bus ride away). Step outside and you're in narrow alleys lined with family-run shops, where the aroma of dried fish (which some tourists may not like) comes from nearby. The main thoroughfare and subway station is just a five-minute walk away, but this pocket of Seoul feels like a local secret. Gwangjang Market is just a 3 minute bus ride away (it was too hot to walk in July). Fair warning: This area isn't sanitized for tourists. The neighborhood wears its working-class character proudly for example weathered storefronts, noisy traffic, and narrow alleys. If you prefer clean, organized tourist areas, this might not be for you. But if you're like me and want that unfiltered cultural immersion, you've found your perfect hotel. Recommended for travelers who want to live like a local, not just visit like a tourist.

The staff at the Grid Inn were so kind and helpful! The entrance to the hotel is down a busy alleyway with several hole-in-the-wall shops - it can be a little confusing at first, but you're literally a 30 second walk to the subway (Blue Line, Jongno-3), with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops around, and is close to Ikseong Hanok Village and Gwangjang Market.The room was small but was perfect for my needs and I definitely recommend staying here if you need a nice central location in Seoul.

The owner of this hotel is so nice! i felt so welcomed and comfortable during my 10 day stay. The staff were very attentive and the area around it is nice. it is a little bit far out (walking wise) from the central areas but that wasn’t a problem for me. The subway station is right there and there’s an airport shuttle stop right across the street. If you’re looking for budget friendly and convenient stay, i would totally recommend this place!
