Icon Hotel Insadong

The hotel is located near a subway station (Jongno 3(sam)-ga) so it is very convenient to move around Seoul. It is almost just a straight walk to the station and you can get there in a few minutes. Around the area likewise are some nice, cozy restaurants. Some convenience stores are also located nearby so quick and easy to get food. Although you would not get the luxury of a 4 or 5-star hotel, at this price range, it would do nicely for a temporary stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean with the standard TV, ref, aircon, toiletries (no toothbrush and toothpaste though), and a fast free WiFi. The floors even have heating which is important during the cold seasons. My only issue though is that there is no separate shower area within the toilet. You need to do all your bath and toilet needs in one small cubicle. But you can get by anyway, just needs a little adjustment from what you are used to. Breakfast is free but the food choices are not that wide though. You get the usual toasted bread, some muffins, boiled egg, assorted cereals, coffee, juice, and milk. Again not complaining. You get what you pay for I guess. But what impressed me the most was the service. Kudos especially to the front desk who was really helpful to guests especially to first timers in Korea. I was looking for some item and he went out of his way to search, explain, and even show me the map where to go. Great service I would say! Overall, great stay at Hotel Icon. Would definitely choose it again should there be a chance to visit Korea once more.

Nice and comfort room with small bathroom, the breakfast menu never change, everyday we ate egg and bread. Wish the mamagement can change the breakfast menu. It’s hard to stay longer at icon hotel to see bread and boiled egg for five night.

Good hotel, I will come back when back to Korea.

It was an awesome stay, we really feel that we're home. We will surely come back again in Hotel Icon!

The place was cozy and warm. It has everything you need for comfort stay. They had someone that comes and change the bed sheets and tidy the room every morning, which was a plus! The person at the front desk was very welcoming, would choose to stay here again. The location was perfect, close to most places we wanted to check out, close to the subway stations as well as bus stops.

Hotel Icon is a great place to stay while in South Korea. A home far away from home. Great location, near the tourist spot just a block away from palace. The breakfast is good egg, muffin, bread, cereals will fill you tummy before heading out in your tour. The hotel staff is kind and approachable. I will surely recommend this to my friend and I will be glad to stay here again if I will be back in Korea.

Great hospitality, great location and great place to stay.

Worth the price. Hotel room was small but the service was excellent.

Cleanliness and comfort are good. The location is quiet at night
