Excellent Guesthouse at Insa-dong

A nice and beautiful guesthouse at Insa-dong. The owner and his family are so kind, he wait for me check-in until midnight. The room is clean and comfort, free bottle water and good toiletries are provided. There is also simple breakfast and coffee in the morning. The location is convenience to Auguk metro station. However, it is very slient at night. No people in the alley. Be brave, haha!!

フレンドリーで過ごしやすいホテル。

部屋はとても清潔で、スタッフもとても感じがよく、安国駅から近く、観光にはとても便利でした。 ただ、トイレの流れが悪く…(6人ドミで各部屋に一つずつ)水周りに関してはイマイチ…韓国のインフラの問題以前のレベルでした…

Well located but tiny room

The Mini Hotel Insa is in a great location with a few of the big sights of Seoul only a short walk away. The guy who ran the place was very helpful and friendly and the hotel itself was a nice building with a cute lobby. The room was very small though, basically the size of a double bed. The wifi was unreliable and there were no non-Korean TV channels. You only seemed to get hand towels in the bathroom too. This was more a hostel than a hotel. Fine for one night passing through but wouldn't be comfortable for any longer if you wanted to spend any time there.

雰囲気もサービスも良いです

価格の割にかなりよかったです。立地としては駅からは歩いて5分もかからず、仁寺洞や景福宮にも近く雰囲気も良いです。 部屋は狭いですがソウルのホテルやゲストハウスには珍しく歯ブラシまで置いてありました。部屋にWiFiが設置してあるため通信環境も◎です。入り口からおしゃれな雰囲気でお部屋も綺麗にしてありました。 11時前に着いてしまったのですが部屋に入れてもらえましたし、朝はちゃんとしたエスプレッソマシンでコーヒーまで入れてくれ、オーナーさんがとても親切で居心地が良かったです。1人でも泊まりやすい価格なのでぜひまた泊まりたいと思います。
