"Ultra friendly staff, lovely and comfortable lobby/cafe. Location is perfoect for theatre goers (Daehakno, Doosan Arts center). Rooms small but well designed and very comfortable bed. Excellent hotel."
"Very clean facility, close to seoul central market and sindang station (5 min). For the location, price and the giant tub, definitely worth the price!! Clarify all check in details in advance and you won’t encounter any issues."
"It was a very nice hotel as the word of mouth did! The hotel staff was also very friendly, kind and comfortable. The room was beautiful, the bed was large, the windows were in two directions, and it was very bright, and the shower was so comfortable that I wanted to stay in the room forever😄 I would like to use this again next time."
"Have stayed here 3 times in the past 7 months and it’s always been a great experience. No complaints whatsoever. Good price for what I need. Will stay here for the foreseeable future since the location is perfect for when I’m visiting."
"It's close to the station, there are convenience stores and local food restaurants nearby, the hotel staff are friendly, and the cost performance is excellent. I would like to stay here again. The only downside is that there were a lot of fruit flies in the room, which disturbed my sleep. No matter how much I tried to get rid of them, there were still a lot of them."
"It was great to have breakfast in the hotel and the location is convenient to many shopping malls. And the airport bus stop is right in front of the hotel "
"I have stayed at this hotel several times on business trips. It has good transport access and is bright all night long, so I recommend it for those who plan to visit the night market. It's a shame that the facilities are a little outdated, but overall it's a good hotel."
"Stayed in small room in property that includes TV & twin bed. Good for solo traveler. Bathrooms have toilets & showers in same room. Good location about 5 minute walk from subway & airport bus. "

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)
10/10 Excellent
"The location is great, easy to get to many places by walking or take public transportation. The staff here are helpful and friendly. Overall I enjoyed my stay here. "
"The hotel is in an up and coming area and so the view included a construction site but the hotel is great. Very clean and location was really good. Our room was amazing, very spacious. It was helpful to have a washer, dryer and air dresser. My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Hotel the Botanik and would definitely stay there again."
"Very friendly, professional, and accomodating staff. I stayed in a single-bed room (as a solo traveler) for 5 nights. Worked for me as I was out exploring the area most of the time. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to parks and shopping malls. It's also about 15 minutes from Meongdong, which I didn't know upon booking the room. Meongdong is a fun touristy place to walk around and try street food.
The single rooms in the hotel are quite compact, so if you are planning to travel with others and/or be inside for lengthy periods, perhaps opt for a larger space. Still, I was very comfortable--bed, bathroom, shower etc. all was well-kept and clean. I also paid for breakfast each morning at a very reasonable price. They offer buffet style with many options. I am vegetarian and was able to get my fill of eggs, fruit...and coffee.
I will plan to stay here again when back in the area. Many thanks. "
"This is a beautiful property with exceptionally friendly staff and excellent food. The location is perfect, very convenient and easy to get around. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again!"
