The Grid Inn was a lovely hotel to stay in for my visit to Seoul. Perfectly centrally located, it was easy walking distance to the palaces, Insadong, Gwangjang market, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, City Hall, Myeongdong. The interior decor is chic and the room is perfectly set up with a nice size comfortable bed, TV, bathroom (with rainfall shower), powerful AC, (free) bottled water, kettle and toiletries. The rooftop is gorgeous and the (free) washer/dryer was a great convenience. The staff was very nice and made me feel well taken care of. Overall, an outstanding value!

For a Westerner, it may be a bit odd to walk through an alleyway to reach the hotel, but it’s rather charming (and very safe), and there’s a popular grilled fish restaurant on the way (featured in a tv show). Plus the airport bus (6002) stops right there. The breakfast service isn’t back just yet (due to COVID).

I like this place because for me it's a bit bigger than most bnb I've stayed in Japan, Hongkong, etc when usually the room really small that you can't even open your baggages. There's even washing machine that you can use for free, that's really is a plus plus plus point. Also on this area you can really reach insa-dong, ikseon-dong, at night you can go to across the street to find night food street that you can eat and drink until midnight. All the good things is just on walkable distance up to 10 mins.

I like the location a lot, because it's very near to insa-dong and ikseon-dong, and you can reach mrt station for 3 lines, but the downside a bit is you must walk a bit to get to the other 2 lines. That's all the downside but not too bad for me.

Great location within a minutes walk to a train station and with many food options nearby. It was very easy to transit to and from the airport - just a few stations away from Seoul station and also a convenient distance to tourist attractions. Room and bathroom were clean and beds were comfortable. Even though some parts of the room were a bit tight, it still fit 4 adults comfortably. They have a common washing machine and dryer for guests to use downstairs, which was very convenient. Staff were great and allowed us to store our luggage after checkout until our flight. They even had free umbrellas for us to use when it was raining, which was much appreciated in the downpour. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel and will be staying here on future visits to Seoul!

Breakfast was not provided but this was not an issue as there are some great cafes and food options within walking distance.

basic but perfect. has everything you need. great location, super helpful staff, 24hr reception, really comfortable accomodation

nothing

My stay in grid inn was superb. I chose it mainly because the reviews were amazing and it's on a back street but it's true, it deserves more stars and it's amazing value. The beds...omg...having lived in Korea a while the beds are so hard but the pillows here are so soft I slept like a baby for the first time in forever. It's clean, quiet and comfy. Provides shampoos etc and there is lots of space. It was a great temperature and it's new. It's on a back street but not hard to find and the location is amazing. It took me ten minutes to the palace, ten to insadong etc and it's next to Jong no station so direct line to gimpo and myeondeong and only 15 mins bus to itaewon. The rooftop was a joy...it was -4 and my friend and I sat in the roof eating Macdonald's with the most amazing view of namsan tower. The staff were so friendly and stored my bag for free after I checked out, and even let us buy the pillows because we loved them so much! Would only stay here when in Seoul

It would have been great if the restaurant was open as it got very cold and we didn't want to head out. Otherwise nothing

The location was excellent, it’s near 3 train lines and a main bus stop. It has a lot of convenient stores and restaurants nearby. It’s also walking distance to Ikseondong and Insadong. The place is clean and the owners are very nice! We were able to borrow extra adaptors and even clothes iron free of charge. The rooms were also bigger than expected. Our room even had a luggage storage which is a plus.

It’s really a non-issue but I wish there would be bidet in the bathroom, and a longer curtain for the shower. Otherwise, our stay was perfect.

The location of the hotel is perfect, next to metro line 1 and on the way of Limousine Bus 6002 from the Incheon Airport. The instructions to reach the hotel couldn't be clearer. It is close walking distance to three of the main royal palaces, Insadong, Bukchon village and lots of local eateries. The rooftop is an amazing and very enjoyable space to use to relax in the evening. The staff were great, helpful and the place was really clean.

It's nothing major but the bathroom floor would get all wet after showering because there is not much separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom

comfy beds, room is spacious enough for 2 people we had a twin room. they have instant coffee for you to drink and a free bottle of water each. it was perfect for what we wanted which was to sleep in and it is near local restaurants and near the metro which is Jongno-3. also the staff are super friendly too. it’s great they have free washing machine use but we didn’t need to use this. they also have a rooftop Terrace which was beautiful at night.

only negative was there was drilling or construction work getting done either on the building or near us, as we were awoken by vibrations and noise very early in the morning (around 6am). and the air con made a dripping sound which also woke us up as it’s right above our heads. so although the sleep was fine, getting woken up early isn’t what we wanted/ not relaxing.

Great location, minutes away from 2 different subway lines, and plenty of buses. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a separated shower. The bedroom also had a big wardrobe, so we were able to keep our bags out of the way. The free laundry services in the basement were a great bonus! The front desk staff were very nice, we had no issues with communication, and used a translation app when necessary.

We wanted to extend a couple of nights and were told to boom again on booking.com. Only twin rooms were available, and the bathrooms are different! It looks like there is a divider for the shower in the photos, but the whole floor floods. Not uncommon for bathrooms in Asia, but after we had stayed in the double room we were surprised. Not a big deal, we still had a great stay!

Everything was very good, from the helpful and dedicated receptionists to the clean and comfortable room, free tea, coffee & bottled water. I especially liked that the room was very quiet. Basically zero noise from the outside, even though my window faced a busy street. The bathroom had a spacious shower and good quality toiletries. A shared roof terrace and a microwave in the hallway is a nice bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

Just a tiny thing, the bedside lamp had a led bulb with low flicker rate which makes me tired if exposed to it for an hour or more. Non-flicker lamps would be awesome.
