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!

숙소는 아늑하고 따뜻했습니다. 편안하게 지내는 데 필요한 모든 것이 갖춰져 있었습니다. 매일 아침 침대 시트를 갈아주고 방을 정리해 주는 직원이 있어서 정말 좋았습니다! 프런트 데스크 직원도 매우 친절했고, 다시 묵고 싶습니다. 위치도 완벽했고, 저희가 방문하고 싶었던 대부분의 장소와 가까웠고, 지하철역과 버스 정류장도 가까웠습니다.

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.

Kebersihan dan kenyamanan baik. Lokasi sepi saat malam hari
