The hotel is very well located and tidy. Although the entrance system is a little bit complicated, It is just a matter of trying and chatting with the hotel’s support. There are minor things to fix in the bathroom (mine had a hand wash basin that move a little bit), but in general it was a great place to be.

Definitely recommend this location for your next trip to Seoul. Great location in the center of where the action is. Surrounded by the best food, shopping and nightlife. This is a no thrills hotel if all you need to do is sleep and shower.

The room is clean and quiet, small but cozy. 3 minutes walk to Guest house from subway station. Ana, the check-in staff was extremely friendly and helpful. She showed me patiently how to use the subway to go places and even the airport. For the price and convenience, it was worthy to stay in thie guest house.

Loved how close we were to everything! Location is very ideal we found! Room size was not bad at all compared to other places! Room could use a good cleaning there was a lot of dirt and dust everywhere even found some on the corner of our bed when we checked in, bathroom had some mould and there are no elevators so had to carry all our luggage up and down the stairs. I think with some renovations this place would be excellent! Would comeback for the location 😊

The hostel is in a great location, in ikseoongdon and close to many restaurants, shops and cafes. Two very comfortable metro line are at 5 min walk. The property has a good shared area. The rooms are spacious enough but the cleanliness was not the best. The rooms are not soundproofed. I will still remember everything as a good experience!

Great location but tiny rooms!!

Tiny Rooms but great location for Insa-Dong! The hotel is located in the heart of Insa-Dong’s Hanok village, 3 mins from the nearest subway station, surrounded by many shops and eateries. It is convenient to travel to other places by subway. However, the rooms were tiny , and our bed sheets were dirty! Can’t even open suitcases in the room at all! The electrical plugs were at strange places in the rooms, so it was difficult for us to charge phones and cameras. The plus side was the common dinning room which we can refill drinking water and able to buy takeaways and eat there instead. The staff were friendly enough. But no housekeeping service were provided during our 4 nights stay.
Rooms were tiny !
No space for suitcases !
Bed sheets were dirty
