Perfect hotel in Insadong
Pros:

Perfect location in Insadong area. Not far from 2 subway stations and multiple bus stations. The area has a lot of high rise office buildings and places to eat at. The hotel is quite close to Insadong Culture Street which has tons of restaurants and is much more loud. It’s also a short bus ride away, only 2 stops, from Myeongdong while not being directly in the hustle and bustle. Each toilet at the hotel (even the one in your room and in the lobby) has a bidet which I appreciated. There is a 24h convenience store next door, perfect for drinks, snacks, and loading T-money cards. It’s right across from Jongyesa Temple. Breakfast buffet had a mix of Korean and western food and was very delicious. The hotel provided 2 free water bottles daily. Check in and check out was easy. I would stay at this hotel again the next time I visit Seoul.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great at the hotel!

Hôtel bien situé mais comme pas de rangement, prévoir un séjour de courte durée
Pros:

Hôtel propre et situé proche du métro et du bus, et, à courte distance du temple bouddhiste Jogyesa. Le personnel parle anglais et toujours disponible pour satisfaire aux demandes et explications pratiques. Pensez à conserver des pièces de 500 wons et billets de 1000 wons pour utiliser les machines à laver et sécher le linge

Cons:

Les chambres sont petites et il n’y a pas de placard, pas de commodes et seulement 3 cintres. Nous étions 3 dans la chambre et avons dû laisser tous nos vêtements pour 15 jours dans les valises.

Buen hotel bien ubicado
Pros:

Amplitud de la habitación. Higiene. Desayuno correcto. Deberían ofrecer más bollería.

Cons:

Deberían ofrecer bañera o ducha, en vez de asinartte un baño anticuado con bañera. Mejor mampara que cortina.

Posizione eccezionale e camera fantastica
Pros:

Camera molto spaziosa con bellissimo terrazzo e bagno grande, con vasca idromassaggio e doccia separati. Letto comodissimo.
La posizione è perfetta per chi non vuole stare sempre in metropolitana, perché si raggiungono a piedi tante attrazioni. Il quartiere è vivace e tipico, molto vivibile. C'è tutto a pochi passi.

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

L'hôtel est idéalement situé. Le personnel à l'accueil est très efficace et d'une grande amabilité. Le service de laundry est super pratique.

Cons:

Aucun rangement n'a été pensé ce qui fait que sur 11 jours d'hôtel, la gestion des valises a été une vraie galère. Le mobilier prend trop de place pour rien car aucun tiroir. Les interrupteurs éclairent toute la chambre quand la lumière est éteinte...ce qui n'est pas d'un effet reposant et la lumière d'accès à la salle de bain qui s'allume d'elle même quand on veut aller au WC eclaire aussi toute la chambre et réveille ma compagne et inversement en pleine nuit....Pas top.

Se dovesse capitarmi, ci tornerei
Pros:

Camera moderna e spaziosa, colazione eccezionale sicuramente più coreana che internazionale e in ogni caso molto buona, posizione centrale e vicinanza alla metropolitana
