Pros:

The staff was nice and the room just big enough for 2 adults. Rooms very clean and lots of light fixtures. Favorite part was it's right in the middle of Insadong and a 20 minute walk from Myeongdong. You're right in the middle of most places and 20 minute walk from must subway lines.

Pros:

The location of this hotel was amazing. Close to buses, trains, and great food/shopping/activities.
The hotel said they are going through renovations, and we assume that is for the bar/lounge b/c it was a construction zone when we went down to check it out. There was a strange smell in our room from the shower drain so we opened windows to maintain it. It is a simple layout and provided what we needed for our time there.

Pros:

We chose N285 for its location and price. The location was great, right next to the Insadong market and subway. The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptionally helpful in arranging a tour to the DMZ and taxi to the airport and spoke great English. I highly recommend this hotel.

Pros:

The Hotel N285 is very clean and in great condition. The space in my room was decent and very well laid out. The bed was comfortable and clean. The convenience store beside the lobby was great.

The location is great for walking to sites in the Insadong area. The park across street is in rough shape, but you are just seconds away from some of the best cafes and art galleries in the city.

I recommend the N285 Hotel very much

Great location and comfort
Pros:

The hotel is located in Insadong so it is a great location for shopping and cafes. Its easy to walk or take public transportation. The room was very nice and the bed was actually quite soft and comfortable. The bathroom is a wet room but that's common in Korea. There is a mini fridge in the room and a CU downstairs.

Pros:

Well designed, neat rooms, with plenty of natural light and views out. Great location for shops restaurants sightseeing. The convenience store downstairs is excellent. No frills eg paper cups in room only, order in iron etc. so you’re paying for the things that matter.

Great hotel
Pros:

This hotel is really good, very comfortable and the location is topnotch. The only very minor downside, if I'm being nitpicky, the only mirror available is the bathroom/sink mirror which is part of the shower. So chance of getting clothes/shoes/feet wet when using it.

Pros:

The hotel is affordable and in a convenient location to everything you’d want to do in Seoul! The staff were kind and the space was just enough. Would love to have more amenities but for what you pay for, it is comfortable and just what you need. Great aircon for the summer days in Seoul.
