Find hotels near Insadong in Seoul, South Korea

I travelled with my 2 teenage daughters during Jan 2013; we truly enjoyed our stay at Fraser Suites Insadong. It is a 3-5 mins walk from the nearest subway ( exits #4 or #5 on Jongno-3(ga) line 1,3,5). Once you step out of the building TA-DA Insadong is just round the corner! Insadong is a must-see, must-visit site in Seoul, it is not just a tourist place, it is also popular among the locals. With many different types of shop (modern & traditional) and eating places (explore the fun back alleys and be surprised) you will be thrilled. Fraser Suites is centrally located & easily accessible to other parts of Seoul given its close proximity to subway. Nearby attractions are Myeong-dong, Samcheongdong, Dongdaemun & Namsan. The only downside (for me) is that while Fraser Suites offers free WIFI you have only 1 access at any point of time, do hope that this may be improved in the future. Enjoy Seoul~

The room is quite big considering it's prime location in Insadong. Hotel is old but facilities are all there and ready. Lift is slow and creaky but it works perfectly well. Laundry services free-of-charge by the very hospitable and friendly reception guys. Do note that drying is air-dried and dependent on weather. My travels was in the hot summer, so just nice the clothes got dried the next day. What surprised me was that they took extra effort and service to help to iron the clothes! It was a very pleasant surprise and a big Thank You! They have a desktop in the room that runs on Linux. Either I have no idea how to use it, or it can't go onto the internet. Not an issue anyway when there's wifi in the room! :)

Room is abit small but ok for single traveller. It is a 2-month old accommodation, surrounded by many local restaurants inside Insadong 14-gil. Very nice bosses and cleaner, very helpful. For no-frills travellers, this place is really value for money. You can take airport limousine bus 6011 and alight outside SK Building, next to police station. It is easier to walk in via Insadong Tourist Information Centre, just about 5 minutes short walk. The road is at least in better condition. It is also 5 minutes walk from Anguk Station exit 6. Samcheong-dong and Bukchon Hanok Village is just across the road.

The hotel is in great location close to many tourist attractions, restaurants, market, shopping malls and bookstores. Right in front of the the building, there is a bus stop, subway station and an airport bus stop that can take you to all parts of Seoul. Although it is in one of the busiest streets of Seoul, once you enter the hotel in the 8th floor of YMCA, however, you will be surprised how serene the atmosphere is. I tried several other hotels and hostels in Jongro area, but YMCA hotel offers by far the best value for money.

We had a great time at Insadong Hostel. Stayed for 3N at their double bed room which is way way good than we expected. Location is at best: Walking distance to major tourist attractions (Palaces, Museums, Hanok Village, Insadong Market, etc) and 1min walk to Anguk Station and local restos are scattered around the hostel. Very safe, behind the police station. We also enjoyed their homy and generous breakfast esp the salad. Most of all, the owners are just the best (shout out to Helen for the warm and kind accommodation). We will definitely stay here again and refer to others.

I enjoyed my stay at Yehadoye. The location is excellent - close to the subway station, lots of good places to eat, right on a lively tourist street in Insadong with lots of souvenir shops and street food. However the place is quiet, clean and well maintained. They even serve simple breakfast every morning. Also there is a shared kitchen which is fully equipped, and large shared fridge. Restroom and showers are shared, however there are several of them - one on each floor, guests can use any of them. I also loved roof access - it is nice to get some fresh air or have lunch there on a sunny day.

This is my second visit to Seoul so I knew exactly which area I should be staying in to make the most of my time. This hotel is at Insadong, one of Seoul's traditional streets, lined with restaurants and traditional handicraft stores. There are 2 subway stops within easy walking distance, although we used taxis as they are quite reasonable and saved us time trying to figure out how to get to specific places. We walked to Bukchon, Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung. Took a taxi from Myeongdong as we were tired at the end of the day. Other than the fantastic location, the hotel itself is well designed for comfort. Our twin room was spacious, the bed, pillows and duvet very comfortable. We liked the very small ante-room where we could leave our shoes. Everything worked in our room - if it doesn't, you just need to ask the reception how it work. Breakfast here is pretty simple and straightforward, but there are so many options along Insadong. And one more plus - the hotel is near the Insadong stop of the airport limousine bus. KRW 15,000 per person each way. Very convenient.

Although the entrance is of the main road once inside this is a little gen of a hotel. Very clean and the staff speak soem english to help in any way they can. The room was a big suprise, although narrow it came with a big bath, comfortable bed, 2 PC's with free wifi for mobile devices and all of the best toiletries to get yourself refreshed for the day or evening out. 2 metro stations are nearby on the same line which takes you into Seoul Station and from there anywhere in South Korea

I had a pleasant stay at Namsan Insadong which is located just beside exit 3/7 of Jonggak station and it takes approximately 5 mins to Insadong/Gwanghwanum and 10 mins to Myeongdong/Lotte departmental store (both by foot). The centralized location of the guesthouse makes travelling really easy and the 10,000 won bus ride to the airport is right along the main road which will take less than 3 mins to get to the waiting spot (Jongno 2-ga). Tight security can be found in this guesthouse, with CCTVs, electronic digital door lock and staffs to assist you should you need any help. Very clean room,bathroom and comfortable bed. Expect to find basic amenities + hairdryer and TV! Staffs are really friendly/helpful and you can even find someone who speaks fluent mandarin :) In short, I highly recommend this excellent budget accomodation! Seriously can't find any faults in terms of location, security and service!!
