Hotels near Tong-In Store in Seoul

This hotel is right in the middle of the Insadong and 5 mins walk from the nearest subway station. Near lots of tiny restaurants and shops. No frills so don’t expect anything special. Just clean and good for a short stay.

The room was very spacious, but the bed was a bit small. The shower water and air conditioning both worked great. The best part is that it's only a 50-meter walk from Songjeong Station on Metro Line 5, and it's just one stop to Gimpo Airport, which is incredibly convenient.

The hotel's location is a perfect blend of lively and quiet. It's just a 2-3 minute walk from Jongno 3(sam)-ga Station, exit 5. On Saturdays and Sundays, the area around the hotel gets quite busy with people drinking and socializing, and the alleyways can be a bit dim at night. It's also very close to Ikseon-dong Hanok Village. Anguk Station is about a ten-minute walk away, where you'll find the famous bakery that has amazing bread! 👍🏻👍🏻

I was a tad surprised 😯 when I saw my room. Room 508 was super minimalist - everything was function able. The loo was next to the shower. It was kinda tricky getting the right temperature for a shower. There's a fridge. Bedsheets are clean and bright. There was no funky or musty smells. Laundry is available free on level 3 and 4. Detergent can be bought for 1000 krw on the 2nd level - just make sure to adjust the dryer temperature to 50-70 degrees celsius. I especially like the Mei Tofu eatery below Ziyolk - the owner is Korean Chinese - lunch and dinner are sumptuous for around 11k to 18k krw. Just avoid peak periods around 11.30am onwards and 6.30pm if you're shy, introverted and dislike noise. All in all it's a stupendous deal to stay for cheap in a tiny room.

Extremely satisfied!! I originally booked a guesthouse, but found out it had a shared living room, essentially a large suite, which meant terrible soundproofing. I canceled two days before my trip and rebooked this place instead, and the price was just right. This hostel is small but has everything you need! I booked a double room, which was neither too big nor too small, and even had a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. There was a desk, a fridge, chairs, and a three-tier cabinet! All very practical. My friend and I came back with lots of bags every day, and we could still spread out our two suitcases to organize them. Once organized, we could just slide them under the bed. The room lighting was also great, Koreans really know how to do it 👍 The basement restaurant had free instant noodles, which I didn't eat much of, but it's a nice perk for those who don't like to eat breakfast but prefer a quick bite before heading out. Plus, you can continue using the restaurant even after checking out! I checked out in the morning and had an evening flight, so I used the restaurant in the afternoon to rest, order some food, and then head to the airport. I'm not sure if you can still eat instant noodles after checking out; I personally think it's better not to take advantage, or just ask the staff to confirm. The staff were all very friendly, greeted everyone coming and going, and spoke excellent English.

I had a pleasant stay at Ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong. Upon check-in, I requested to change my room from a twin to a double, and the staff were very accommodating and handled it smoothly, which I really appreciated. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The hotel’s location is also a big plus, convenient and well-situated for exploring the area. Overall, a great experience with helpful service, cleanliness, and a good location. I would definitely consider staying here again.

The accommodation looks exactly like the photos and is super clean! I really loved the view of Namsan Tower from the room, so romantic! The kitchen is well-equipped for a simple breakfast with toast, jam, milk, and orange juice. There's even a water dispenser, so I didn't have to drink the water I'd bought beforehand. The hairdryer has a strong airflow, and the bathroom is spotless! I had mistakenly thought there would be a TV, but there wasn't, so I couldn't watch videos at the accommodation and ended up watching them on my phone with my friend. Aside from that, the electric blanket was wonderfully warm, ensuring a cozy night's sleep. Free laundry and drying facilities are also available. There were a lot of international guests, which made it feel like I was abroad even though I was in Korea. One thing to note: there are many stairs from the entrance, so my friend and I struggled quite a bit with our heavy luggage when checking in. I'd only recommend it for those with light luggage. Lastly, the Bluetooth speaker in the living room was on all night, and the sound was quite disruptive. It's not that there's no soundproofing, but because it was so quiet in the early morning, the sound seemed even louder. My friends also asked what the noise was, and after investigating, we realized it was the speaker, so we turned it off and finally got some sleep.

This hotel has 3 main advantages: 1. Excellent team of administrators, always ready to help 2. Location perfect: historic center of Insadon, near 3 metro stations, one literally opposite the hotel 2. Soft mattress, pillows and blankets. Ideal location to Bunchon khanok Village 15 minutes walk, to Mendon 20, all nearby. I will definitely stop again

Location is amazing and it js close to Metro. 5 stars for location. I think the hotel is super clean and new. Room is small but I am already expected it. I am more than happy and will come and again. The hotel is cheaper than other as it requires self check in and I am okay with it. There is a shared kitchen and I do like it. They claim there is a luggage storage area with CCTV. However it is an open area at the lobby/kitchen with no control. You put any luggages at your own risk. I won’t recommend it if you need to storage at the hotel before check in or after check out.

Given the price paid, the location of this hotel is superb as it is near the subway station (jongno sam ga) which gives you access to 3 different subway lines. Essentially, this hotel is located within insadong and ikseondong area and it is within 5-10 min walking distance to a lot of famous cafes at ikseondong and anguk. At night, there are many pochas and eateries options available. The hotel provide free snacks (gummy, chips and cake) and beverage/bottled water and is generous enough to top up daily. The room is considered spacious and they tidy up the room and provide free towels daily. The only downside was the weird format of the room in which the toilet and shower area was separate and there was also 2 gaming pc in the room. Had a decent stay at this hotel.
