Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, so if you arrive late, you'll need to arrange ahead or look elsewhere.
  • No pets and no smoking on site — Pets are not allowed, and the entire property is non-smoking, which could be a restriction for some travellers.
  • Shared facilities — The kitchen, lounge, and bathrooms are shared, which may not suit guests who prefer private amenities.
  • No on-site parking — The guesthouse does not list parking, so those arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby — likely at an extra cost.

“Everything was good overall, the hotel was clean, and the location in the city center was marvellous. It was so close to the centre of Insa-dong and a great area for food and nightlife. Jongno-Gu district was worth staying in. I stayed for 11 days and would definitely come back.”

“This was one of the best guest hostels I've been to. It was quiet, the rooms were very clean. There is a shared kitchen with amenities so you can cook or heat up your own meals if you didn't feel like going out to eat. The hostel is right behind Ssamzi-gil and next to the main shopping road, yet very quiet. It's also close to Lines 3, 5, and 1.”
