Highly recomend.
Excellent location. Just 20 metres away from a road filled with gift shops. many Western and Korean restaurants just a few minutes walk. Close to many subway stations. Very helpful and friendly hotel staff. Room a little old and small but for a short trip the room was ok.Would gladly stay here again.

Nice hotel and good service
First time to stay in this hotel. It was very quick upon check. The Korean receptionist was so nice and friendly. They have very slow elevator/lift but it's better than nothing. The room was not so big but they have comfortable bed, bath tub, free toiletries, free 2 bottles of water and 2 cans of juice. They even have hair blower. and personal computer inside the room. There are a lot of restaurants, souvenir shops, and anything nearby because it is situated at the Korean Art Street in Insadong. It is also near at Anguk subway station (5-10 minutes walk). It is near also at Gyeongbukgung Palace (only 10-15 minutes walk) and also to Bukchong Village.

Nice hotel. Has shops and restaurants close by. It was very easy to find and close to public transportation. The palaces were a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Only thing I didn’t like was the room was incredibly hot because of the heated floors.

This hotel was kind of out of the way. Both my drivers had issues finding it. I learned the area within the day and things became much easier to navigate. The hotel was located within walking distance from great shopping, local culture, and the train station. I walked from Seoul City Hall to this hotel with no issues. It was easy to get around.

Basic room in an very good location
This is my second time staying here. I like the excellent location that's right in the middle Insadong, which is a very convenient base for visiting various sights around Seoul. The room is basic but clean. The really down side is there is no wifi, although there is a old desktop computer with internet connection. As I single traveller, I think this room beats staying in a hostel bunk bed.

Great location
The location is really convenient; right at the heart of Insadong area. It's quiet enough.They do some basic cleaning of the room daily, too. The receptionists are kind and helpful in giving directions/ information despite their limited English. The room overall is just okay, if not too old-looking.

One can't expect a lot from this sort of love motel, but I was disappointed that there was not at least functional wifi.

stay there is you do not wish to sleep
This place is noisy 24 hours a day. The street nose goes through your walls. When I stayed there the owner had construction going on right outside my window as well. It is unclean, unsafe, dirty and cheap. The blanket is so dirty and without sheets wrapping around it. Yes, you sleep underneath a filthy blanket and you couldn't sleep because of constant noise. They provide you with one piece of soap stuck on a stick which you wipe it with all other users. Walls have cracks but not repaired. Wires running on the ground. WiFi could not reach to the rooms.....No staff understands English. I would not recommend anyone to stay in this junky place.

Great location and exceeded expectations
For the price, this place cannot be beat. Excellent location, only 15 steps to the Insadong shopping street. Plenty of eating choices in a 10-minute walk radius. It was very cold in Seoul during my work trip, and the floor of the room is heated, as well as a bed-sized heating bad under the sheet. I stayed nice and work without getting too hot. Free water (2 bottles) and 2 boxes of juice everyday. The front desk was very helpful and enjoyed my stay very much. Yes, it is a small, inexpensive boutique hotel but it exceeded all of my expectations considering the price. If you want to save some money, you won't be wrong for staying here. Disclaimer: I traveled alone. The rooms may be too small for a family.
