The Insadong Ibis is my home in Seoul. I recommended it to two friends. They love it too!
Pros:

The location was perfect, and the staff were knowledgeable. They went out of their way to help me settle in to Seoul, gave me directions to get to the conference I was attending, and more!

Loved the area and fantastic views
Pros:

Location is amazing, in an area I am familiar with and extremely convenient, and most importantly quiet and safe at night. The room was a good size, and being on the top floor I had amazing views out to the Seoul Tower.
Comfortable beds.
Front desk staff were welcoming and really pleasant.

Cons:

The air-conditioning kept me awake - it would turn off when the room was cool enough but then it would get too warm and blow cold air directly onto the bed. I'm sure this could be controlled but I couldn't figure it out.

Pros:

Location was very good, there is a seven eleven right opposite the hotel and a many cafes and restaurants a few steps away . easy access for cars . not crowded.

Cons:

I wish the breakfast included a live egg station, and there were more pastry options like croissants and more fruits like melonn and berries.

韓国ならではの情緒あふれる街並みを楽しめる
Pros:

どこへ行くのも、アクセスが良かった。ホテルの周囲にお洒落なカフェなどがあり、駅からホテルまでの散策が退屈しなかった。また、ホテル前に両替所があり、ホテル内にWOWPASS購入機もあり、大変助かった。シャワーの水圧も良く、室内も清潔感があった。

Cons:

バスタブがない部屋で、シャワー室が狭かったが、問題はなかった。
