The hotel is very well located and tidy. Although the entrance system is a little bit complicated, It is just a matter of trying and chatting with the hotel’s support. There are minor things to fix in the bathroom (mine had a hand wash basin that move a little bit), but in general it was a great place to be.

The room is clean and quiet, small but cozy. 3 minutes walk to Guest house from subway station. Ana, the check-in staff was extremely friendly and helpful. She showed me patiently how to use the subway to go places and even the airport. For the price and convenience, it was worthy to stay in thie guest house.

The bed was comfortable, and the property was good for the price. It was close to area attractions, but the building was in an alley and difficult to find. There was no elevator.

Loved how close we were to everything! Location is very ideal we found! Room size was not bad at all compared to other places! Room could use a good cleaning there was a lot of dirt and dust everywhere even found some on the corner of our bed when we checked in, bathroom had some mould and there are no elevators so had to carry all our luggage up and down the stairs. I think with some renovations this place would be excellent! Would comeback for the location 😊

The hostel is in a great location, in ikseoongdon and close to many restaurants, shops and cafes. Two very comfortable metro line are at 5 min walk. The property has a good shared area. The rooms are spacious enough but the cleanliness was not the best. The rooms are not soundproofed. I will still remember everything as a good experience!

Very nice, very clean, would stay again. I was surprised that I never saw any staff, but we already had our door code so there was no problem whatsoever. Because our room got changed into another building due to maintenance/remodeling issues, they were kind enough to tell us beforehand and even gave us a bigger room with more beds and a kitchen. The guesthouse is located in an alley, so the surroundings gave me a sketchy vibe at first because we arrived at night. But on the day the street was actually filled with hardware stores.

Great location but tiny rooms!!

Tiny Rooms but great location for Insa-Dong! The hotel is located in the heart of Insa-Dong’s Hanok village, 3 mins from the nearest subway station, surrounded by many shops and eateries. It is convenient to travel to other places by subway. However, the rooms were tiny , and our bed sheets were dirty! Can’t even open suitcases in the room at all! The electrical plugs were at strange places in the rooms, so it was difficult for us to charge phones and cameras. The plus side was the common dinning room which we can refill drinking water and able to buy takeaways and eat there instead. The staff were friendly enough. But no housekeeping service were provided during our 4 nights stay.
Rooms were tiny !
No space for suitcases !
Bed sheets were dirty

Great location right next to Jongro 3-ga station exits 4 and 5. Very small but secure and perfect for my needs. Self check-in was easy. Though there is no elevator, I had no problem carrying my bags to the 3rd floor. Clean bed and bathroom, cable TV service, small refrigerator and good WiFi was present. Staff responded quickly by email when I had a problem with an outlet and sent a staff member to my unit within the hour to fix it. The only problem I had was on the last night of my stay when somebody was smoking in the unit next to mine and the smell drifted into my unit. This was of course not the management’s fault since it is against the rules. I could’ve confronted the neighbor but it was so late. Overall I would definitely stay here again for a convenient location that is clean and affordable.
