Great area, easy access to Jogno and Insadong; very helpful staff; and a spa that’s free to use and unwind every evening! And while typically compact the amenities and extras are great little touches - free morning yakult, free evening noodles. Will definitely stay there again next time in Seoul.

Perfect location, right near all the cute shops and cafes, palaces and night time activities. Coffee shops and convenience stores are right outside the door. Spa was small but adequate and clean with Dyson hairdryers!! Free ice creams and probiotic drinks next to the freezer laundry are a great addition.

I expected little more spacious room. Beds are crowded and there were one pillow per bed and the pillow was not very comfy. Other than that the location was good and noisy level was low.

This place was simply amazing. So comfortable, clean, and filled with amenities. We felt very taken care of. We enjoyed the yummy free ramen, strawberry ice cream, onsen, welcome drink, and lovely staff. It was also right in Incheon and so easy to get anywhere else in Seoul and beyond. Thank you so much!

Unbeatable location, just a 3-minute walk from the metro exit. The hotel room is fairly spacious, with enough space to open two suitcases. There’s an onsen in the basement, and the restaurant offers free ramen in the evening, as is typical of Dormy. After the onsen, there are free popsicles or lactic drinks, and the lobby provides a welcome drink, which is very thoughtful.

I had a wonderful stay here for the few nights I stayed in Seoul. The hotel was easy to find for me. Location is great. The staff were very friendly and helpful (I landed early and they let me check my luggage. They even offered early check in but I was okay with waiting). Rooms were very clean and up to date. Next time I’m in Seoul, I’ll stay here again.

Many extras to relax after exploring all day!

Had a wonderful stay here. Room was comfortable. Not huge but great if you plan to be out sightseeing most of the time. Daily breakfast is delicious, more Japanese than Korean. Nightly ramen served for guests was delicious comfort after exploring all day! My favorite part was the spa downstairs with hot/cold pools, sauna, and showers. There is a little lounge area to grab an ice cream or yogurt drink after you go to the spa. The staff was friendly and very helpful!

The hotel staff were superb and really helpful here with any request made. The rooms were clean and they were comfortable. They are remodeling so there’s a bit of construction happening so the outside area looks a bit messy. The hotel is a bit hard to find because the signs aren’t as visible. Overall, I enjoyed my week long stay and I would stay here again next time I visit Seoul.
