The hotel staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our room was tiny for 3 people with 3 large suitcases but to be fair we did not stay for the day anyway and the best part was the room was cleaned everyday so it’s nice to come back to the room smelling fresh. Also, they gave us bottled water to drink. The hotel is convenient to tourists like us as there are bus stops and train stations that are walkable. Coffee shops and restaurants are around the hotel too. Will definitely recommend Hotel Kuretakeso.

Do not stay
This hotel is not worth staying at. I was there 10 days and my sheets were not changed. They refused to call a cab. My room looked at a wall. Breakfast is skippable. There is no security, anyone can access guest floors. Elevators are insufficient for the size so you wait many minutes.

This was a very clean hotel in a nice neighborhood. We enjoyed all the shopping options around the hotel. There were plenty of small shops and really nice restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. We were well taken care of here and appreciated all of the staff. It was a really pleasant stay.

Electric outlets require an adapter to accommodate US type plugs. The adapters do not fit tight and must be wedged with something (used folded paper) in order to make contact and allow electricity to flow. The area of Insadong has some good shopping and restaurants.

Nice hotel, located in popular Insadong shopping area. Rooms on the small side, but ok. Odd arrangement with front desk on second floor. Made us wonder about security. It seems anyone could enter the building on the first floor and access elevators to any floor. At night though, a room key is required to enter the hotel.

Ideal location for this coffee addict! Centrally located to shopping/dining options for Insadong and Ikseondong (stays open later). Transit options abound! Price is very fair. Hotel amenities were still closed during my stay so can't comment on gym, spa, etc. facilities, but really appreciated the free plum juice and ice tea in the lobby!
