Great area, easy access to Jogno and Insadong; very helpful staff; and a spa that’s free to use and unwind every evening! And while typically compact the amenities and extras are great little touches - free morning yakult, free evening noodles. Will definitely stay there again next time in Seoul.

Perfect location, right near all the cute shops and cafes, palaces and night time activities. Coffee shops and convenience stores are right outside the door. Spa was small but adequate and clean with Dyson hairdryers!! Free ice creams and probiotic drinks next to the freezer laundry are a great addition.

I expected little more spacious room. Beds are crowded and there were one pillow per bed and the pillow was not very comfy. Other than that the location was good and noisy level was low.

This place was simply amazing. So comfortable, clean, and filled with amenities. We felt very taken care of. We enjoyed the yummy free ramen, strawberry ice cream, onsen, welcome drink, and lovely staff. It was also right in Incheon and so easy to get anywhere else in Seoul and beyond. Thank you so much!

For 3 of us with 5 luggage, the room was very small. It was a fun experience and the hotel has a lot of good services, but I would stay in the different district next time.

10/10 Exceptional

Unbeatable location, just a 3-minute walk from the metro exit. The hotel room is fairly spacious, with enough space to open two suitcases. There’s an onsen in the basement, and the restaurant offers free ramen in the evening, as is typical of Dormy. After the onsen, there are free popsicles or lactic drinks, and the lobby provides a welcome drink, which is very thoughtful.

Everything about the hotel was fine, but I had to pay 40,000 Korean won for my parking because the hotel indicated the parking lot associated with the hotel could not accommodate a large SUV I was driving.

Nice stay

The room is tidy, air con is good, just the room sound isolation is not too good. One more thing can improve is the lift sometimes full.

10/10 Exceptional

The Dormy Inn was well located in Insa-dong just a short walk away from the subway. The hotel was clean and.comfortable and the free ramen each evening was a real treat. The Onsen was very relaxing. We used it each night after a long day of walking. The breakfast was high quality and we were able to fuel up each morning before starting each day. The food was excellent, but the only comment would be for a little more variety as the choices were a little stale by our fifth day there.
