The staff were friendly, helpful and spoke many languages. The property is clean and had a cafe and there is lots of restaurants in the immediate vicinity. There is housekeeping and fresh bottled water every morning in the room. The location is central for shopping, transport, and palaces. Its a good location and will be visiting again next year

Outdated interior, could do with a refurb. Floors and bathroom not very clean, no housekeeping done in the 2 days we stayed. Staff strict with check in time, we arrived 30 minutes early but had to wait. Location is a huge plus though.

Not great but affordable

The room had non-functioning air conditioning, which for a family of four became very hot. We stayed at the hotel between 14 - 20 June and got a large table fan which made it reasonably comfortable. The standard room was generally very low, but the location was very good for those who want to move around the Insadong area. Close to both the subway and buses, so traveling was simple and easy no matter which direction we went to.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, so it met my minimum expectations. Although it seemed the room was partly refurbished, as the hotel is very old, it would be better to improve some aspects to keep customers coming to stay. For example, the AC was still functioning but not strong enough to make my room cooler and noisy (there was a window but a fixed one), and the bathtub was leaking. It would also be appreciated if you could provide teabag/drip bag coffee and a mug as an electric kettle is provided.

Disliked: Amenities
Pics online are very outdated. The “family room” is extremely small and was not ideal for more than 2 people. Hotel is older and definitely looks it. Front desk staff was helpful and location isn’t bad. Also, they have a no refund policy and do not budge at all on it. So only book this hotel if you’re ok with disappointment and tight spaces.

Not sure breakfast was "provided", but there was a small restaurant. Was kind of crowded so i skipped it but it smelled good.... Reasonably close to the subway and right by the Insadong shopping area. Plus there is plenty to see within walking distance because it's right downtown.

Don't do it.

This place is really disappointing. It simply wasn't clean and the worst part the AC didn't work and if you're not aware, kriya is extremely hot in the summertime.
