Conveniently close to Insadong, walkable to Gyeongbokgung palace, and subway is about 2 blocks away. Room is small but beds and shower are relatively comfortable. Very little space in the room to handle luggage for 2 people. Breakfast was more than adequate.

Nice stay. Every area is accessible in town, easy commuting via public transport. Staffs are accommodating and even help us booked a cab to the airport because our flight is too early. They have good breakfast selection as well if you want to try authentic korean cuisine. Highly recommended.
