Insadong / Bukchon
It was a trip with a child, but the boss responded so kindly and the room was so warm, especially because I booked an open restaurant at 11:30, I asked for a forgiveness of the check-out time. The child says he will come again in spring. Fluctuate ~~ Rest.
Sophia Hanok Guesthouse
3.2/514 Reviews
Insadong / Bukchon
Major security and food hygiene issues. Beware! Food hygiene issue: They provide bibimbap + other side dishes for breakfast. The alarming thing is their re-use of the side-dishes. When the breakfast was over and all other guests have left the dining area, the host casually put the unconsumed side dishes back into the larger pots where they are stored. The reason this is alarming is because the side dishes are shared among all the guests, and the sharing nature of the side dishes inevitably means that their saliva will also be shared. Not only is this gross to think about, but this will also potentially promote infectious diseases. Security issue: We stayed in a private guest room as a couple with our private bathroom. The locks were the old Korean style, with 2 sets of 4 sliding doors - one set on the outside, one set on the inside. The outer set of sliding doors have 2 screw-in locks which can be padlocked. The inner set of sliding doors only have screw-in locks. When leaving the room, I had the inner set of sliding doors shut, with one side of the door remaining locked. We were shocked to find that upon returning, both sides of the inner doors were unlocked and opened, indicating that someone had entered our room. No tampering of the padlock was evident, suggesting that this person had the proper keys to the padlock. What was more disturbing was that there was no good reason for anyone to have been there! No cleaning and no rearranging of amenities! We tried several times to contact the owner to no avail. We immediately packed and left after the first night. Value for Money: Quite expensive for what it is. But, if you want the experience of staying in an old-style traditional korean housing, there are several other such guesthouses. Location: Good location. Close to Anguk subway station, palaces and insadong, but far enough from the main road to not be affected by road noise. Cleanliness: Clean enough. Staff: Questionable business practice & work ethics. There is one elderly woman who appears to be helping to keep the guesthouse clean and to prepare meals. She only speaks Korean, and does so very loudly and abruptly. I am a Korean, and this does not bother me as I do have some idea about how some people speak, but my wife found this very confronting. Facilities: Minimal. Very small rooms with no furniture. But this is, after all, a part of the traditional Korean Hanok experience.
Urbanstay Boutique Ikseon

Insadong / Bukchon
It is a fully self-service check-in experience. You will not see any staff in the hotel. There is no front desk, no security, and no daily cleaning staff. Despite this, the hotel will clearly indicate every process in advance, so you will have a good check-in experience even without any waiters. All check-in, check-out, luggage storage, and room facility operations are also clearly explained. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that cleaning will be arranged every 4 days. No one will enter the room in the middle, so no one will collect the garbage. You can bring recyclable items to the floor recycling bin for sorting, but there is no one to deal with the general garbage. We don’t know how to change garbage bags, so you have to dispose of them yourself when they are full. The same applies to takeout after eating. You also have to consider the issue of garbage bags. There is only one roll of paper in the toilet compartment, so you have to find a way to use it up yourself. The hotel is on a small street, so it is very quiet. The soundproofing in the room is also good, and the guests on my floor are also very quiet. Across the way is the main alley of Ikseon-dong, which is very convenient. There are also many convenience stores and 24-hour small restaurants. Just take the airport bus 6011 and it's very close. Get off at Changdeokgung Palace at the 9th stop. The hotel is located in the middle of two stations. It is prosperous yet quiet. I like it very much. Check-in date is November 15-19, studio A-type room. It is relatively newly renovated and well maintained. Also very neat and well lit.

Hotel Kuretakeso Insadong
4.2/5135 Reviews
Insadong / Bukchon
I was in a hurry to notice that I lost my credit card in Myeongdong, but the front desk kindly responded in Japanese. There was no illegal use and it was safe. Thank you very much. This hotel is close to Kushiro 3-ga Station, so it is a 5 book from Gimpo Airport on Line 1 and it is compact but I like it because it is a room with a bathtub.
