Washroom not really deep clean, but still satisfied.
Self laundry just only accept coins which is a small inconvenient.

hotel is located up an alley but the best part is that its just beside ikeon dong where you can find authentic korea jiggae. solsot is also less than a min walk. its far from anguk station where the airport shuttle bus is. at night its dark on the street. hot bath at basement and washer (4000 won), dryer (4000 won) and detergent (1000 won) are fabulous, but note that note changing machine only dispense 500 wons instead of notes and coins. so go to reception counter to change bigger notes to 10,000 won so you dont end up with tons of 500 wons. water purifier located at level 10 and you need to ask, else counter staff wont tell you. save your shopping spree to Hongdae as Ikeon dong jewelry is 3x more expensive than Hongdae. didn't need to eat buffet at hotel because there's authentic korean soup stuffs at insadong (10min walk) which are open as early as 730am. wont recommend solo female traveller due to the dark alley and drinking street on a Fri night along the alley. multiple exit at the station with no elevator access and difficult to find hotel location if you exit wrongly. if you need washer and dryer, then this hotel is highly recommended. staff allow free early check in if i join accor free membership on the spot, i appreciate the early check in service. shower area very small.

The hotel is perfectly located in this new trendy place called Ikseon. Lots of small streets with restaurants and coffee shops full of life in the evenings. Walking distance to lots of Seoul hotspots. The room was clean and nice and the staff helped us book a car to the airport. Will definitely recommend this hotel and the location to friends visiting Seoul in the near future

Really liked the hotel. In a great location with lots of things to explore within walking distance and close to two subway stations.
Staff were so helpful and friendly. This is a good hotel as a base to explore Seoul. Very clean and comfortable beds.

Reasonable pricing hotel which is nearby to subway and a lot of restaurants.
In front of the hotel is the insadong night market street.

the hotel looks a bit old so it is not very clean but in overall is still satisfying. Anyway the location is good, it is near to insadong with all the vintage shops and cafes located.

Great location for this hotel! Right in the middle of stores and restaurants and cafés, really good. The staff was always very kind and the hotel is very clean.
My only suggestion would to change a bit the buffet or to add a few things to it, we were staying for 4 nights and it got a bit boring... but it was okay anyways.

Good, standard Ibis quality. International cousine. It's value for me. Chinese coudine is OK but very spicy for me each day. Perfect location for sightseeing as business purpose. 100% recommend!

Ibis insadong is not as good as Ibis Seoul Ambassar Myeongdong , but clean. Walking distance to insadong shopping street, cheongdeokgong and other places of interests.
Good for us as we don't go for shopping for clothes or beauty products 👌🏻

Great location and staff were really pleasant. Complicated to get the room cleaned and the room was not 100% clean when we arrived - stains on towels etc.
