Great value for money, great location
Pros:

Location (insadong) is amazing. Couple minutes away from Ikseondong hanok village cafe alleys. Great area for budget friendly authentic restaurants, pocha bars, souvenir and traditional craft shopping. Also very close to the palaces. We opted this location over Myeongdong as Myeongdong is too generic and touristy area versus Insadong has much more character while being well linked via metro. The hotel room is quite basic. If you stay here dont miss out on walking by the Cheonggyecheon stream, Seosulla-gil street by the palace wall, Naksan Park at night for views from many scenic cafes, and Jongno-3(sam)-ga pocha street.

Cons:

The bathroom is a wet room where the shower head is hung above the sink. It is a bit inconvenient but overall great value for money so can't complain.

Tốt
Pros:

Vị trí khá thuận thiện để đi đến ga Anguk hoặc Jongno 3(sam). Phòng tuy hơi nhỏ nhưng đầy đủ tiện nghi, nước nóng lạnh và mạnh. Có máy giặt để khách có thể giặt quần áo dơ và sấy nên rất tiện lợi.

Cons:

Điểm trừ duy nhất là gối hơi cao nên nằm hơi khó chịu.

Pros:

Location is AMAZING. Very clean and good value for money. But what stood out the most was Mijin’s customer service. She is so attentive, kinda and friendly. She speaks perfect English and made my stay easy helping me with any query I had, from the check in to the check out. She is a star!
