Saerim Hotel

I had a great 5 night stay here in Seoul. The location is perfect, the room is very clean and the wifi is good. Staff were friendly and the price was fair. The room was spacious enough and could leave the windows open for a nice breeze. I will definitely stay again when I'm back in Seoul.

I checked in really late and informed them my friend was going to join me in my stay. They gave me a random room key and then left me to my own devices. They say hello every day and goodbye every day. The rooms are cleaned every day with the exception of under the bed which is so dusty and gross. Aircon works. Windows dont close all the way and I have killed a lot of mosquitos in my room. The rooms I think all of them have double beds and a shower / bathroom. Our toilet leaked and they had a look and it stopped leaking or leaked less. They gave us extra towels when they found my friend was staying. The bed is really hard and uncomfortable but you can get used to it. The room also has some instant coffee and cups and a kettle but I don't know if the cups are clean as the tray is dusty. You also get 2 juice boxes and free water every day. The hotel is in a really convenient location next to insadong main culture street with a Starbucks and Linas cafe open early for breakfast. There's a public toilet down the road as well and it's very close to three major attactions: Ssamjigil and Dynamic maze/trick eye museum. It's close to lots of stations and bus stops and there's a vegan restaurant downstairs in Insadong maru, a 7/11 and GS25. Price is pretty good for the time I stayed, about 40 bucks a day. It is however a drop and go place. You kind of need to buy your own food and eat out.

The price was quite good and the room is clean. It is also near the Gyeongbokgung and it is placed in Insadong area. The space is enough and the I feel comfortable. There is also refrigerator, TV, hair dryer and water boiler, and also elevator for you who bring a heavy luggage.
