Pros:

The location is unbeatable if you like to be close to cosy cafes and bakeries, small alleys and markets. It’s maybe ten minutes walk to a train station but everything is quite local.

The staff are friendly and will do whatever they can to help you, including storing luggage. They also recommended some restaurants and helped me settle in on my first day in South Korea.

I intentionally went to another accommodation in Seoul after a few days and then decided to extend my stay in Seoul and came back to SSH Icon Hotel.

The free laundry is a plus!

Cons:

I found the beds a little uncomfortable but they were passable.

If you're not looking for luxury, this is a pleasant and comfortable place to stay.
Pros:

The hotel's location was great. It was about 1.5 km from the city center, and I chose to walk. It was also close to the temple and the palace, so you can easily reach them on foot. In addition, Insadong Culture Street, also known as the traditional market area, is just a short walk away. I highly recommend visiting it.

The check-in and check-out process is completely self-service, with no staff involved, and it was very easy and straightforward. If you arrive early, you can leave your luggage in the lobby before check-in.The room had enough space to open one large suitcase, but not much more than that

Cons:

The bathroom was very small. I had to move the trash bin and the toilet paper holder outside just to have enough space to take a shower. However, I think small bathrooms are quite common in Korea, so it wasn't a major issue. Other than that, I didn't experience any problems during my stay.
