What guests are saying:
overall stay was great. however staff's english was limited.
i travelled with my 5yrs old daughter during winter. we understand basic Korean but it was not a problem. Hotels personnel speaks English. there's a 7-11 at the lobby. hotel has no room heater. Thats the only downside.
For the money we paid , there is nothing to complain. Take note that WIFI is only available in the lobby.
All the basics were covered without complaint, except that we had to ask to have the A/C turned on and had no in-room control. It's the extras that were lacking. Free WiFi only in the lounge? Even cheap motels have computers in their rooms to browse online.

Not the usual”
I liked my stay here. Although it's a little bit far from the bus stops that I need to be in. There are also tourist attractions nearby. If you want some quiet place but still in the know of all the happenings, then you should stay here.

Nice spacious room with good shower facilities. Air-con was a little weak initially, but it got stronger and colder after the first night. Wide range of TV channels to choose from. Bring your own toothbrush. Keycard is uniquely designed. Easy to make your way here via Anguk Station.

Good hotel, But weak aircond”
Overall the hotel is in good location and staff are nice.
not much facility just a room to stay and put your head down and is cleaned.
Only criticism is the air condition very weak, in particular at night, it's almost turned off making it very difficult to sleep.

great location, good for value”
location, staff, room rates
The best thing is that it's so close to Insadong Street, a one-block walk. It's also pretty close to the subway station, and surrounded by lots of mom-and-pop grocery stores; and there's a 7-11 in the building. Room was fairly spacious; beds were good if you like firm mattresses. Staff was nice. Our room smelled faintly of cigarette smoke so they let us look at another vacant room; we stayed where we originally were and opened the windows, and the air cleared after an hour or so, so it was fine. Drinking water, both hot and cold, was complimentary at the water coolers in the hall. The only small fault we found was that we couldn't control the temperature of the room, which was monitored by a central heating system. As a result, it got a bit warm at night, but when we left the windows partially open it was okay.

A good hotel with 7-11”
location, price, room
We came back again and stayed at the hotel for another 3 nights and we had more or less a good time here. The staffs are quite helpful and friendly. There's a 7-11 at the ground floor besides the lobby and also an ice cream parlor. The hotel is situated almost next to the Insadong market so we could just cross the road to get there. And it is very convenient to get around with public transport because it is only 5 minutes walk from the subway station. The room was cozy and clean, the furniture are in vintage style and a bit old. And this time we had a small problem with the air co that it didn't work, but the staffs came and fixed it right away. The breakfast is a bit too ordinary for a 3 star hotel.

great value, with the same price, usually will only get a small bedroom with shower,BUT crown hotel has spacious bedroom(one double bed + one single bed + a lounge) plus the best is they have "bathtub". After all day walking in Seoul (endless stairs up and down in the underground) . nothing better than a hot leg soaking.
great location, next to IBIS, 3 underground station in walking distance, + buses. nearby have endless restaurants and food stall.

hope for the best”
Unfortunately can not tell much of the hotel as we were sentenced to the small building beside the main entrance. The was a water machine just outside the room but in the morning when I wanted to make some coffee (that I had with me as you do not get any in the hotel) the hot water was finished (or was not working all together as I haven't tried to use it before) and only cold water was available. Very cold bathroom and AC managed to reheat the room only when it was on through the whole night. But plus was that they had 2 blankets per person to use. Toothbrush/paste, aftershave and body milk and 2 bottles of water were in the room. Very close to some old stile village with lots of dinning options.

Excellent location and friendly staff”
Insadong Crown Hotel is located very close to a subway station in a vibrant neighborhood full of restaurants and small shops. The friendly staff is ready to assist in any situation. The only minus is the lack of a second room key in case one leaves the key in the electric contact for charging devices.

comfortable room, wifi ok, a bit of a walk to subway station. staff is friendly. have 2 lifts, a bit slow but bearable. room is just right size, toilet have bathtub and automatic bidet. nearby there is a street of restaurants. and jongno 3 ga station entry is there. but a bit of a walk to the actual trains. especially if you take the orange line..when you get off the train you have to walk underground about 10minutes to go out the exit 4 or 5. so we mostly take a taxi to go around. but hotel is comfortable, they have many choice of food nearby even until midnight and minimart just on the 1st floor. i like this hotel :) thanks!

the staffs were friendly even though they are not fluent in english, atleast one of them tried using google translate to have an idea about our certain request. good location. nice for its cost.
bad thing is that they don't allow us to extend our check-out time even if we checked in late. our flight is late night so we requested to extend for about 4hours but they will charge whole day for few hours.
