"Very easy checkin and checkout in the centre of a great location in Jongno - accessible to great public transport, restaurants and places to see and visit. I highly recommend this place for its location. Our room was a good size for 5 night stay. Unfortunately we were only given hand towels for most of our stay for showers and bath mats - which we could get more of if we needed to. We got bath towels for 2 of our 5 nights but didn’t know why we didn’t get these the whole stay"

"We had a generally pleasant stay at Onjae Suites. The suite was spacious, and the beds, pillows, and linens were comfortable. Although there is no front desk, the staff were responsive and communicated promptly through messaging. However, the messages were in Korean, so we had to copy and paste them into a translation app to understand the instructions and responses. Providing messages in English for international guests would make communication more convenient. Our biggest concern was the...

"The is an entirely selve serve micro hotel. There is no staff. If you cannot figure out the check in system you are not getting a room. The room I got was smaller than the picture shown. It was literally the smallest room that could fit a bed. The was no floor left to open my suitecase. It was like living in one of those tile puzzles with 15 tiles in 16 spaces. There was no shower separate from the sink toilet area. You just hosed yourself off in front of the sink and toilet. Don’t get the...

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL INSADONG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay even better. You really can't beat the perfect location, either!"

Holiday Inn Express Seoul Hongdae by IHG

8/10 Good

"We stayed for only two nights. Unfortunately, the first room we were given was not up to the expected standard. The bathroom floor was damaged, and several tiles were loose and moving, which made it look as though there might be a serious leak underneath. We reported the issue to reception, and the staff acted quite quickly. We were offered another room, which we accepted. However, it was very inconvenient having to pack and unpack everything twice within such a short stay. On top of that, breakfast was a complete disappointment. The restaurant was extremely busy, with lots of people and a very limited selection of food. It was genuinely difficult to find something decent to eat. I was quite surprised, as I had expected a much wider choice and greater variety. Unfortunately, the overall quality of breakfast was very poor, and it certainly wasn’t a pleasant experience. On a positive note, the staff were very helpful and the location was great. However, the room condition and particularly the breakfast experience definitely affected our overall impression of the stay."
