The hotel location is excellent. Many attractions are within walking distance. The staff were very attentive and amazing EVERYWHERE. The room size was very good.

The air conditioning in my room WAS not working well. The bathroom design was like one of an aircraft. Noiseblocking was a nonsense. I could hear neighbors.

fantastic spotrooftop gardenmanageable lobbygreat vibe

the hotel is in a fantastic spot. it's near many interesting places and the neighborhood has a great vibe. i found the rooftop garden super clean, just like the laundry room. large groups sometimes made the lobby crowded, but it was manageable.

the carpet in my room seemed a bit unclean. i noticed some slight dust. it was a very minor issue. though.

The hotel is very close to a subway station. insadong is within walking distance. That was a major plus. there are also convenient stores nearby, in case you need anything. a 10-minute walk gets you to the airport bus stop.
