Hotels in Insadong / Bukchon, Seoul

The self-service water dispenser and microwave right next to the elevator are a huge plus. Downstairs is Ikseon-dong, and it's also a walkable distance to Insadong for browsing little shops. The location and transportation are absolutely fantastic, couldn't ask for better. However, the room itself is really tiny; there's nowhere to even put used bath towels. The clothes hanger is fixed and can't be moved, and it's right next to the kettle, which is a really annoying design. They provided drip coffee, which was quite good. Body lotion was also provided, which was another nice touch.

Best affordable accommodation for a short stay in Seoul! Everything is clean, neat, and well organized. I’m very impressed by the details. Towel, water, slippers, and ear plugs provided in the locker. Outdoor shoes are required to left in the locker area to keep the room area clean. Shiny washing room and toilets. Shampoo and shower gel are available in the shower box. The bedroom is compact but good enough for a men less than 6ft. There are cabinets for personal stuff storage right beside bed. Multiple power cords - Korean type x 2, USB x 2, and a wireless charger. Hanger is provided as well. Lovely place! Refrigerator, microwave, and coffee machine with detailed instructions in the lounge. Friendly staff!

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel! The service was excellent (you can choose your pillow at the front desk), and there are water dispensers and ice machines in the hallways. It's only a 3-minute walk from Anguk subway station, making it super convenient for getting around. Gyeongbokgung Palace is also within walking distance. This place is perfect for first-time visitors to Seoul who want to hit the main attractions. However, if you're planning on shopping in Gangnam or Seongsu, it might be a bit far. If you're traveling with elderly guests, you can ask the front desk for a non-slip mat (as the rooms have bathtubs, not walk-in showers).

The location is convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Jongno 3-ga Station to the hotel. However, the alley leading to it is a bit quiet. There's a CU convenience store nearby. There's also a back exit that leads out to another alley, with hotels and izakayas on both sides, making it a bit dark.

Had a nice stay here for a couple of nights while in Seoul. Was adequately clean and comfortable but the real highlight is the location - super close to transport links and key sites if you’re visiting Seoul for the first time. Would recommend if you’re staying in Seoul for a couple of days.

Before choosing a hotel, I always read reviews. Many mentioned the neighborhood was noisy, and that's definitely true, but it's not a fault of the hotel itself. It's just part of the area. However, if you're a first-timer in Seoul and want to hit as many sights as possible in minimal time, this is one of the best neighborhoods. Gyeongbokgung Palace is a 40-minute walk away, and the Han River is just around the corner. The subway station, two minutes away, can take you anywhere. The room is clean and simple. It's thoroughly cleaned before check-in, but there's no cleaning service during your stay. For me, that's a plus rather than a minus; I don't like people entering my room when I'm not there. The room has a TV, a fridge, and a separate shower. But if you're traveling with a friend you don't know very well yet, be prepared to step out of the room when someone is showering. Or you'll become best friends! :) Regarding amenities for daily comfort: 1. There's a communal kitchen with a coffee machine, hot and cold water dispenser, stove, and microwave. 2. There's a washing machine with a drying function: two hours, and no need to find a place to hang wet clothes. 3. There's a garment steamer – instantly boosts comfort by +10,000 points. Reviews also complained about noisy neighbors. I didn't encounter any during my stay: just students, couples with kids, and lovely ahjummas. If someone does seem noisy, earplugs are readily available. At one point, the water was supposed to be shut off for repairs, and the hostel staff brought two bottles of water directly to my room. The hostel owner checks in to see how things are going and engages in small talk with repeat guests. If you're a solo traveler, I definitely recommend it. Yes, it's a 'walking' neighborhood, but throughout my entire stay, I never once felt unsafe. Special thanks for the umbrella sharing! 🤍

The room was quite spacious and very clean, making for a comfortable stay. It's conveniently located with plenty of food and drink options nearby. A bus and subway station are about a 10-minute walk away, which made getting around super easy. We were really close to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. They provide two bottles of mineral water every day, and the cleaning staff was wonderful – always greeting us with a smile. They cleaned our room every single day during our 5-day stay!

The hotel I stayed at during my trip to Seoul was an excellent experience overall. The location was superb, close to a subway station, making it convenient for shopping and medical appointments in the city center. The room was cleaned daily, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep. The front desk staff were friendly and polite, check-in was efficient, and the internet connection was smooth and stable. There were plenty of convenience stores and restaurants nearby, making shopping very convenient. The overall environment was simple and clean, offering great value for money. Traveling alone, I felt very safe and secure, and I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Seoul.

A good option for a budget hotel. It's quite clean and the staff are friendly, but if you check in during the evening, it's self-check-in. At the reception, there's tea, coffee, and even instant noodles available at any time. A significant downside: it's very noisy at night as there's a club in the same building and you can hear the music, but earplugs are provided.)

Absolutely 100/10! Location: fantastic! 2x metro exits right outside the hotel with the others near by!!! It is close to Ikseon-dong.. less than 1 min walk, Insadong - 2-3 mins walk. Myeongdong - easy 30 mins walk! Location really is amazing! Service: customer service is 5 stars! The reception can all speak English and they were soooo helpful! They always say hello in Korean when they see you! And they helped me locate the correct bus stop towards the airport. If they didn’t help, I would have got the wrong bus stop haha. Cleanliness: can’t complain, I thought housekeeping did a great job! Overall: I WILL ALWAYS STAY HERE FROM NOW ON :) ohhh and there’s a bath tub in the bathroom, it was also a really spacious big bathtub! Everything was great! Definitely one of my favourite stays! I wish they had a gym then it would be superperfect!
