Review: Great location. Quiet neighborhood. Clean enough. Thin walls. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Staff was a bit difficult to come by, but the property was relatively responsive via the Agoda app.
Positive points: LocationnnStaff available off site, quick response
Negative points: VERY small roomnNo window blinds (the picture is taken at night)nShower - hard to regulate the temperature and you make the whole bathroom wet as it is in the middle of the bathroom nBed leads to neck and back pain nNoise from outside and inside the building can he heard
Review: Even if you’re trying to budget and their prices look very attractive, i wouldn’t recommend this hotel. On the surface, the room looks okay but if you take a closer look, everything desperately needs a good cleaning. The bathroom was horrible and the window sills look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. Someone even left behind a used tissue on the window sills
Positive points: The guest house is in the middle of a very popular zone, with shops, restaurants and souvenirs. The bed sheets were clean. The room had floor heating.
Positive points: The location is amazing
Negative points: I don’t really like the Korean bathroom. Also, our sink was leaking
Review: Very dirty
Positive points: I love how accessible this place is! Love the size of the room (cozy yet still spacious enough to move). Very clean!! ❤️ what you see in the pics is what you actually get. will definitely recommend!!!
Negative points: None actually. Even if the room towels provided are just face towels, they provided a rack on the 2nd floor lobby/isle with new and clean face towels where you can easily just get as much as you need 😊❤️
Positive points: Right in the center of the Insadong Culture Street, so near to Samziegil. I loved the quietness of the area and although it’s a bit of a walk from Anguk and Jongno-3-ga subway stations, I’m glad that I have these two options for getting around. So happy it was near Anguk and Changdeokgung palace as well. nnI love that it’s self check in. The landlord was very responsive by messaging. Very clean and comfy for a solo traveler.
Negative points: The walls are not soundproof and sometimes you can still hear people’s loud conversations in the hallway or adjacent rooms
Review: The room is okay. The bathroom is a small and outdated . Need a renovation. Its okay if you stay for a night but yeah if you are not a picky traveler then it would be your fit
Positive points: We loved everything about this hotel. The location, the easy contactless check-in and out, the common/kitchen area, and the terrace. The room is comfortable for two people with small/medium suitcases.
Positive points: Location was very good. Right at the heart of Insadong, but away from the daily night crowd. It was very convenient. Supermarket down the road and not far to walk to many of the popular locations.
Review: Recommended but room is rather small
Positive points: The location was very nice.
Negative points: There were no plates to warm up food. And the wifi was slow, or at times, it stopped completely. The room was clean, but there were two bottles under our bed.
Review: I wasn't given that much time to respond to the person knocking on my door at 9:30 this morning as I got ready to leave. I'm assuming ot was cleaning staff and I do not blame them but I still would've liked more time.nnThe shower is also rather finicky with the temperature of the water going from hot to cold in seconds but other than that it is good to stay for a night
Positive points: The location was great and the room was confortable
Review: I love the place, i love the location, lots of coffees and restaurants nearby.
Positive points: Location only
Negative points: It was small and the sheets were dirty with what seems like old blood stains and the Air conditioner kept leaking all night
