Exceptional Service and Prime Location

The hotel’s location is excellent, within walking distance of many great attractions. The service was outstanding, particularly the front desk staff member who speaks fluent English and was extremely helpful. During my trip, I stayed at three different hotels, and this hotel’s staff stood out as the best.

Good but need to check

Very good location. Good view from the room you can see the Insadong and traditional houses but we found a bug in the shower box and room wasn’t prepared for 3 people ,sleepers and towels… and only shower gel which can be shampoo as well need some more amenities even though eco friendly.

John, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is perfectly situated in Insadong. The lovely shops and cafés are just acriss the stree in Ikseon-dong! The laundry facilities are comfortable and the roof top has a wonderful space to gather. There is a beautiful view of Namsan Tower! I highly recommend this hotel, and will definitely stay here again on my next visit ro Seoul.

Gary Joseph, 21-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is as good as expected. Nothing more nothing less. Considering the location and high time of the sight season, the price is fair but as for hotel ranking three stars, the cost performance is as described above.
Shiro, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the place you want to stay. Spotlessly clean from the rooftop garden down to the laundry room in the basement. The only negative is that many large bus groups are coming and going many times, so the desk and lobby area gets very congested.,
Mary, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Simple hotel which can be good choice if you want to stay in this area but more beautiful places exist. Simple Ibis style

It was perfect for our one-night stay: very convenient location, very helpful staff at the reception. Rooms were a bit tiny but the view on Insadong market and the Namsan tower were fabulous!
