Gwanak Arboretum

The hotel was average. The location was great and close to the main Insadong district. It was an older building and the facilities are a bit outdated. However, it had all the essentials. The staff was nice and accommodating.

Stayed here for 3 nights. I got the VIP room with the massage chair. It was heaven after a long day of exploring Seoul! I didn't have the breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on that. The location was okay, it had a very local vibe but the station was not good for big luggage due to the stairs in the station. I couldn't find the station elevator when I arrived. Some reviews said Exit 5 but actually the elevator is between Exit 5 and 4 so you might miss it like I did. Also it's on Line 1 so it can get very busy. The staff were really nice and welcoming. Overall I recommend the place, especially for solo travellers. I felt safe in the hotel and in the area. Also very good for the price I paid. I will consider it again in the future.
