Insadong R Guesthouse

Could not have a better location, 1min away from the metro, palaces nearby walking, lots of markets, the river walk.. The room is clean, the bed is confortable and comparig to other places in seul it was big, anf the bathroom too. Paid more for less space and uncomfortable bed in other places You wont hear a sounds from the street, if the people staying there is respectful you wont hear a sound at night

Theres a weird smell on the lobby/kitchen that I couldn't get used to in my six days there. If you come with big luggage be care full, theres no elevator

We enjoyed the location and the room was very clean. The neighborhood was the best, the modern Hanok we were in was so fun. The staff was nice and the common room was free to use but we had everything in our room to enjoy it almost like a hotel.

We had a clogged toilet issue haha but the staff provided us the necessary tools to fix the issue!

The location is excellent. Although the guesthouse is located in the middle of the city in a busy area, it was pretty quiet. With the pictures and explanation provided it was easy to find. The room was very plain and functional, but super clean. The bed was hard, but still comfortable, my mom also had no problem with the mattress. TV, AC and WiFi worked fine. The staff was also super nice. I packed the wrong charger for my phone, and they pointed us to a Daiso where I could get the right one. Definitely a great stay for such a low price.

Room was quiet and is situated in a great part of the city, lots of daytime and evening options for food and drinks. Great location for accessing most of the popular sites in the area. Staff are lovely and really helpful. They will also wash and dry your clothes for a low price. We stayed there for nearly 2 weeks without any problems, yes the room was a bit small, but the price was right. Clean towels provided daily. Small kitchen at the entrance with almost everything you need.

No lift, but that wasn't a big deal

Location of homestay is near to subway station and there're much more restaurants and convenience store such as CU,GS25..etc.

That'll be nice if homestay has elevator and it's easy to bring language to the room where you leave

The location of the hostel is perfect, a lot of eating and shopping opportunities in the neighborhood. The hostel has a nice little kitchen with all the necessities to prepare a basic meal. Free hot and cold (filtered) water can be tapped and a microwave is available for use. The hosts are very welcoming and do their utmost best to help you. Our luggage was delayed and had to be dropped of a day after our arrival at midnight. The manager accommodated this very well, despite that the drop off was outside reception opening hours. Every day fresh towels are provided. No cleaning during our 5 day stay, but that isn’t necessary if you keep your room clean.

We thought the room was quite small. For 22m2 we expected a little bigger room (spots to store our luggage). Also the room could be a bit cleaner, but nothing too bad.

The hotel was fantastic, exactly what we expected - a starting point for exploring the city. Particularly noteworthy was the hotel staff and manager with whom we had the opportunity to speak more than once, always willing to share knowledge and good humour.

The only downsides were the size of the towels (although it is worth mentioning that we were given fresh towels every day) and the fact that the rooms were not vacuumed, after a few days in a small room some dust was collecting on the ground.

The Insadong guesthouse is located in a small alley in the heart of the Jungno-ga area. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are of good size (one doesn't feel like in a cage). You have all the basics (Wifi, separate bathroom). Common kitchen for those who want to cook (a little). The area is great: it's central, and one can find excellent restaurants and bars, some which open until late at night. The crowd and neighborhood is diverse, from the elderly population you can see around the park, to young crowd and the gay community that like to hang out there in the evening. As the guesthouse is in a small alley, it's very quiet at night. I will go there again on my next visit!

Overall OK, location good

No lift, got to carry my heavy luggage while staying on 5th floor

Excellent location next to so many little shops and nearby subway station. Great wifi, very clean, new towels every day (thought towels are small). The shower is in the same room as the toilet and a bit limited in space by the sink. It wasn't an issue for me but for people not used to that, it may take some adjusting.
