A 3* hotel that is better than some 5* ones, it does feel like a luxury hotel! Great location, nice room with a bathtub and shower, super comfortable bed, wonderful helpful staff, lots of places to eat and shop nearby. Bus stop and metro just a couple minutes walk. We also really enjoyed the movie theme. And the minibar is free of charge and refilled every day.

I stayed at this hotel for a week with my girlfriend. The experience was fabulous, and the staff were genuinely kind and helpful. I especially remember Yuna and Cha, who warmly welcomed us upon arrival and provided great advice for our trip. I would definitely return to this hotel!

The location was strategic with a front and back entrance, it was safe and so easy to access public transport. I love the vibe, the art, and how tourist friendly the whole area is. Closer to Jongno and Insadong but Myeongdeong is just a leisurely 20min walk away. It was also convenient and the staff, from cafe aropa to the front desk, real fast buffet team, to the housekeeping staff, were so professional, experienced, and friendly.

Quiet hotel with good access to Insadong shopping street. Listed as 2-star but I think it was comfortable as 3 star. Big space for Korean-style room for 4 people, 2 on bed and 2 on floor mattress. Nice to have a floor table we can set and have Korean-style breakfast or sandwiches from the cafe. Receptionists speak fluent English

    Probably the best palace in Seoul, undergoing a long process of restoration and reconstruction. Entrance is cheap, and free if you wear a hanbok (traditional Korean clothing, that can be rented all around the area). Once a month there is a special night opening, with all the palaces lit up

    Billions of visitors wearing tacky costumes (It is free some day or some time for people wearing hanbok, which is normally so beautiful). Should come back when it is -20 degrees C so it might be less crowded. Did it with a guide, Joy, who was nice and informative.

    Fabulous - recommend you get there by 9am. Free to get in for over 65's but cheap anyway. Changing of the guard at 10am but you can easily walk around the grounds of the Palace on your own before then.

    Large place but take up the opportunity to hire the Korean clothing - Hanbok. I did it at another location and just loved walking around in it. Free entry to the palaces if you do wear it. Much cheaper to hire outside of the palaces, especially at the Bukchon Hanok Village. Locals were coming up to us, to help me rety the ribbons etc, so it was very nice.

    The location is fairly central Seoul and we found it fairly simple to get on the subway, bus, or grab a taxi from this spot. There is plenty of food and cafes nearby(including 3-4 restaurants in the building). Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village are both in walking distance. It has all the amenities we needed to make our stay comfortable. I would only suggest this for 1-2 people however, as it is about the size of a standard hotel room.

    An ideal location for a city visit. if you are happy to walk a bit you can even do Gyeongbokgung Palace on foot or visit the cute cafés in Ikseon Dong. Otherwise the metro is close (City Hall station). The small pool was nice to soak into straight after our flight. The staff was happy to help.

    Perfect location! 🚉 Just a 30-second walk from the subway station, and only 2 minutes on foot to Insadong. You can easily enjoy walking tours to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Samcheong-dong during the day. At night, there are tons of outdoor restaurants and bars in Ikseon-dong nearby. Even though it's in a lively area, the hostel itself is quiet and peaceful. I think it is a new place and everything was super clean! Highly recommended!

    Loved the clean quiet calm room, perfect location and fun neighbourhood to explore in Seoul! Jongno has lots of street food, close to 24 hr ramen convenience store, walkable to Ikseondong cafés and restaurants. We also walked to Myeongdong and Gyeongbokgung Palace from here (as we love walking), and to Jogyesa Temple. Loved the central yet slightly hidden location in an alley. Free laundry was a plus, staff were friendly and helpful and the rooftop views were beautiful!

    Staff is super friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a great location. Room was comfortable and clean. Limo bus from airport stops at this hotel! Close to metro station and walking distance to Myeondong street for shopping and eating. Walking distance to Gyeongbokgung Palace, 20 to 30 minute walk. It's a very nice walk. Also, our room had a nice view of Hwangudan altar historical site!

    A very comfy room with all necessary facilities such as a kettle, hair dryer. Good breakfasts. And the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is just perfect! Walking distance from several attractions (Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung palace& garden, Bukchon Hanok Village, Ssamziegil shopping center with authentic Korean goods, Jogyesa Temple etc). It's also a 5min walking distance from the hotel to the nearest metro station. You can find many grocery stores and restaurants in the area.
