Amazing traditional stay in the beautiful alleys of Insa-dong. The hotel was beautifully presented and the self serve noodle breakfast was great. Maybe my mis-reading but may be worth mentioning that the standard rooms don’t have access to the steam/bath as in the pictures as I believe this is part of only the highest room type. Would recommend for an insadong stay and would definitely return!

I had a wonderful stay at HOTEL JAK. The hospitality was truly exceptional and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything I needed. The location was also perfect, close to city attractions and easy to get around. I couldn’t be more pleased with my stay and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting.

Clean room and excellent location. Unmanned aspect can be convenient but also make communication more difficult. Requesting new towels/change of trash is a bit of a hassle, but check-in and check out are easy. Offering of free ramen and water is very nice to have. Great value.

Really enjoyed staying here and ended up extending for another night. For the price, this place is such a good deal. Free ramen, free coffee, free water, and everything feels super clean and new. Honestly hard to beat at this price point in Seoul. Check-in isn’t the most straightforward if you’re a foreigner, but there’s a help button and someone is always there to assist, so it wasn’t a big problem at all. Rooms are a bit small (pretty typical for Seoul), but totally fine for our stay. Location is great to, close to cultural spots and just a few minutes’ walk to the train station. Would definitely stay here again next time I’m in Seoul.

Thank you, Hotel JAK team. I had a pleasant stay there. The bedsheets and towels were clean, and the location is perfect. I felt at home and very warm there. There are many local restaurants nearby with delicious food, and it is also close to the train stations. The only small downside is that the shower water temperature sometimes becomes too hot or too cold. But for me, it was not a problem at all. However, for those who bring young kids, it might be better to check the water temperature before showering. I will stay at this hotel again when I visit Seoul. Thank you again ❤️

We stayed for 12 days in this hotel. The first thing you need to know before you book is that this is a SELF MANAGEMENT hotel, everything is automated, you do your own check-in using your passport at their computerised kiosk. No reception, no breakfast BUT plenty of character! we chose this hotel due to its location and because we didn't want the usual amenities of breakfast etc etc other hotels offer. The rooms are small and thats exactly what we needed. We didn't want big rooms, suites or other services as we went exploring all day. The owner is a very kind and friendly lady, we struck a good friendship and she was happy to have us stay for these days. If you want a small place, for exploring full days and just staying to sleep this is all you need. We were happy with our choice and the location central and close to bus and train station. Walking distance to Palaces, Myendong and other cultural activities.

Recomiendo 100 % este hotelito. Es pequeño acogedor. Muy limpio, ademas tienes disponible noodles, agua, cafe gratis, en el kiosko de la entrada siempre tienen disponible toallas, pequeños utensilios como sepillo dental, y otros accesorios, tienen extensiones con adaptadores para convertir debido al sistema Europeo de 220. Muy acogedor y centrico, con acceso a estacion del metro y parada de buses a solo 2 y 4 minutos caminando.

Das Zimmer war viel kleiner als auf dem Bild dargestellt. Das Badezimmer ging garnicht.. sehr eng und beim Duschen ist man immer ans Waschbecken dran gekommen.. die Toilette spült nicht richtig und da ist absolut kein Platz um die feuchten Handtücher so aufzuhängen damit sie bis zum nächsten Tag trocknen! Das Personal ist schwierig zu sprechen da sie jedesmal über Display erstmal Google translate auf machen müssen damit wir erst die Frage tippen und ewig auf Antwort warten um dann zu sagen es ist wie es ist. Kein Spur von der schönen Wasserbecken was auf den Bildern drauf ist.

지방에서 친구랑 서울 놀러 왔다가 묵게 된 호텔이예요~ 숙소 예약할 때 사진만 보고 골랐는데, 막상 가보니 오 여기 잘 잡았다 싶었던 곳이에요. 전체적으로 신식이라 그런지 건물부터 객실까지 깔끔한 느낌이 확 들고, 들어가자마자 청결 상태가 좋아서 마음이 놓이더라고요. 침구도 보송하고 욕실도 깨끗해서 여행 와서 쉬기 딱 좋았어요. 직원분도 너무 친절하셔서 체크인할 때부터 기분이 좋았어요~ 🙂 숙소 분위기는 과하게 호텔 느낌이라기보다, 아기자기하고 감성적인 스타일이에요. 조명이나 소품, 작은 디테일까지 신경 쓴 느낌이라 그냥 방에 있어도 기분이 좋더라고요. 구석구석 신경 쓴 티가 나서 더 기억에 남는 숙소였습니다. 그리고 공용 공간에 한강라면 기계가 있는데, 밤에 출출해서 이용해 봤거든요. 여행 와서 먹는 라면은 왜 이렇게 맛있는지… 친구랑 앉아서 라면 먹으면서 하루 정리하는 시간이 꽤 여행다운 순간이었어요. 이런 소소한 재미가 있는 숙소라 더 만족스러웠습니다. 위치도 좋아요. 안국역 근처라 지하철 이동하기 편하고, 인사동·북촌 쪽 걸어 다니기에도 부담 없는 거리라 서울 여행 동선 잡기 좋았어요. 관광하고 돌아올 때도 길 찾기 어렵지 않아서 친구도 편하다고 하더라고요. 다음에 서울올때 또 들를게요 번창하셔요 ❤️
