Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Set down a back alley — The entrance is on a narrow, somewhat dirty-looking alley within a maze of lanes – part of the local character, but not for everyone.
- Limited in-room amenities — The standard rooms list only shower, air conditioning, and basic items, with no mention of extras like a mini-bar or workspace.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

8.4Verified guest“Great value for money – the price was reasonable and the room was spotless. The staff were friendly and attentive. The location, though down a grubby alley in a maze of lanes, turned out to be a real find – right on three subway lines. The room had external access and a few large round tables on the lower floors. Breakfast was included and offered hot and cold dishes of good quality.”
8.4Verified guest“Comfortable bed, TV, and a mini-fridge in the room. Insadong is nearby and the metro station is just outside. Namdaemun market was close by. Breakfast was plentiful and complimentary.”
