Good area, metro station close by. You have to go through some side streets to find the hotel, but it's not hard. Hotel is clean, after hours check in was super easy. Simple but good accommodations.

Excellent location but beds were too firm for me
Posted 13 Sep 2024 on HotelsLocation is excellent, near a tonne of amazing cafes. Also an easy walk to Insadong (a more commercial area for shopping) and the Changdeokgun palace. Excellent links to the rest of the city via the metro which is a few mins walk from the hotel.
The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Some of them spoke fluent English which was super helpful. Su, in particular, was great.
The room itself was fine for me as a solo traveller but would be tight if with another person. The usual amenities were in the room including a hair dryer, a fridge, a writing desk, toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and body wash). There is a rooftop terrace but I didn’t have an opportunity to use it. There is also a coffee shop at the reception.
AC worked great.
A bonus was they let me check-in early and were v.helpful via WhatsApp when I had questions ahead of my trip.
There is however room for improvement.
The bed was too hard and I found it uncomfortable. The bathroom is basically a wet room. This is quite common in many Korean hotels but might take some getting used to. It wasn’t a huge issue but I found the placement of the shower very awkward, right on top of the sink and (as expected), water does go everywhere. They don’t seem to give large towels, only small hand towels. The hotel should try and provide large ones. There was some kind of noise from a machine/generator? Not sure but was disturbing at night. A kettle would’ve been nice. Tba reception is not 24/7.

A very compact, but well thought through accommodation. Well-located if you’d like to stay near main palaces.

It was very easy to walk to the hotel from Jongno 3-ga station. From the station you could make easy connections across the major tourist sites in Seoul. There’s also buses nearby. The hotel is also in easy walking distance to Jongmyo Shrine, Changyeonggung Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon, Insadong and Myeongdong.
The hotel itself was clean and tidy. Although simple, the room was conveniently laid out with plug sockets near beds and a shelf/desk. The rooms are not large but I don’t think this is unusual for Seoul. I stayed in a twin room by myself with a large suitcase and it was comfortable for me, but I could see it being cramped with another person or more luggage. I don’t think this should necessarily put you off! You could also borrow kettles from reception. The staff were helpful and friendly.
The hotel is off the main street and is very quiet and peaceful. But a short walk away is the bustling main street where you can find many convenience stores and good restaurants.
I really enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I return to Seoul.

The whole place was very clean.
They provided room cleaning and two bottles of water everyday.
A few minor inconveniences like the room rubbish should be taken in a bag downstairs, the shower area was small and strange, and it had only two small towels.
But I would stay here again.
