Jongno-gu Hotel Deals
Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong
The hotel is very dated. Have stayed at many 3 stars that were better. There is no world in which this is a 4 star hotel. To top it off AC didn’t work and rooms were 80’F. Only positive was the location; very central and we walked to most places.

Options for a spa, 24/7 convenience store and very clean rooms along with a utility room for washing and drying clothes. This was perfect for what we paid. Would be coming back in the future if we stay around Insadong again!

Orakai Insadong Suites
Super clean! Housekeeping staff were so nice and friendly. They vacuum the carpeted areas and also clean the hard floors. This was very important for us as our baby is crawling. Kitchen was well equipped. Extremely good location and we will definitely stay again next time.
