it may not look inviting, and inside may look even scary, but it is definitely a gem. its location to all that is convenient like shops, places to eat, metro stations and airport limousine is one major advantage. sure the rooms are small and old, but that is part of its character. for the affordable price you get a huge...

The main advantage of this hotel is the location, it's right in a small alley off Insadong, which is the pedestrian street of Seoul full of small shop, cafe and restaurant. The rooms are very small, not particularly new, but clean and good enough for the price. And the staff is efficient and friendly.

About 15min walk to two palaces and 35 min walk to town square and city centre hotel (don't ask me to check the names...it's been 2 months since I got back) The rooms are simple but crazy at the same time. There is... More
