GREAT LOCATION AND SERVICES
Pros:

Insadong is a great area to stay in... less "touristy" and lots of very local food experiences. A great vibe. Hotel is perfectly located close to transport.

Great location
Pros:

The location in Insadong was great. Shops, restaurants and everything you needed just outside the hotel. We walked most places we wanted to go as it was easier than getting the train most of the time. The room was functional and clean though small. We didn’t use the onsen/spa but lots of the other guests did.

Cons:

The bed was one of the hardest I have ever slept in and the room was very small even though we expected it to be. It was fine for 3 nights and we were hardly in the room.

日本人なら絶対ここ！最高！
Pros:

大浴場があり、サウナもあり、日本語が話せるスタッフがいるので安心して泊まれた。韓国のホテルはよくトイレとお風呂の境目がないのでベタベタになりがちだが、その心配なく、ノンストレスで過ごせた。コンビニやバス停が近く、とてもロケーションが良い。

Cons:

ない。強いて言うなら大浴場は22〜23時ぐらいに行くととても混んでいる。

Pros:

It's close to a hanok village where lots of cafes are and it's perfect. The room was clean and the staff were amazing. It's also right by the ikseondong culture street with lots of handmade goods. At night a lot of restaurants open up and it's super nice.

Cons:

I went during summer and the ac was a bit weak so it got quite hot but honestly not that big of an issue.

Pros:

Hotel situato nel cuore di insadong , con servizi buoni e alcuni gratuiti come la lavanderia e le bibite . Camera piccola ma con l’essenziale. Non ci sono spazi comuni dove potersi rilassare. Molto pulito.
