Lock in a great price for Hotel Kuretakeso Insadong – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent location, close to the main touristic attractions and metro.

Carlos, Luxembourg

Great location just in the centre of Insadong. 5 minutes walk from the train station. Also only 20 minutes walk from myeongdong.

Irada, Australia

My sister and I were very happy with the location. Insadong isn't necessarily in the thick of things, but it's so easy to get everywhere you would want to from it.

Kenzie, Cambodia

Liked location, excellent. We love Insa-dong and visit this area every time we are in Seoul. We apologized to the front desk as we checked in late (nearly 2 am) due to a delayed flight and bad connections to Seoul after hours (subway stops running and the airport train didn‘t run all the way into the city. The hotel is like a business hotel and probably needs to fix up some things. The pipes on the wall near the toilet had a gap. The bath tub had a strange bottom, probably to make it more comfortable for bathing, but standing on it while showering was difficult.

Walter, Japan

The location is a block away from the main street in Insadong, near shops and restaurants. And the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Adriana, El Salvador

It’s very close to the subway and very close to Myeong-dong district. Rooms are small but spotlessly clean and comfortable. Hotel's location is ideal for those who want to explore Insadong. The breakfast is mainly korean but good though. The staff can speak English well enough. All in all, very good value for money and more than satisfied. I love the fabric freshener spray that is provided in the room!

Fayemousse, United Arab Emirates

Great value for its quality. I will definitely stay for my trip

Natchanon, Thailand

Great location, just off the main Insadong street drag. This lively area features a lot of tea shops and some tourist tat. The hotel seems to be Japaneseboqned and some staff are very proficent Japanese speakers.

Too early check out schedule. No extra pillow availble, if you need one. One staff, Mr. Lee M. S was not really very hospitable or accomodating. I was asking if we can use a cup or two as we are going to have our early dinner before heading to the airport for our flight and he firmly said “NO” ... you are checked out!
