Good location for our purpose
Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025

The location was okay but the hotel itself was very old and kind of dirty. The hallway was narrow and had some bad odors. I do not recommend this hotel to stay. Also I had to pay 25000won for the parking fee which wasn’t not described on the website.

The staff were friendly, helpful and spoke many languages. The property is clean and had a cafe and there is lots of restaurants in the immediate vicinity. There is housekeeping and fresh bottled water every morning in the room. The location is central for shopping, transport, and palaces. Its a good location and will be visiting again next year

I like near at the insadong street and lot of resturants. I don't like no service for coin laundry and airport bus too far.

Due to my mum just pass away by cancer two weeks ago, i tried to cancel the reservation as i have to take care my mum's funeral. But the hotel side was refused to cancel my booking and refund. This is unacceptable. Never book this hotel. Everyone have to alert.

Facilities - fresh towels were put in room everyday by the staff, 2x nearby elevators in floor Hotel in good location - many neaby restaurants, convience stores & subway stations Only downside is there is no tea/coffee provided in the room ( although there is kettle for hot water)

The room had non-functioning air conditioning, which for a family of four became very hot. We stayed at the hotel between 14 - 20 June and got a large table fan which made it reasonably comfortable. The standard room was generally very low, but the location was very good for those who want to move around the Insadong area. Close to both the subway and buses, so traveling was simple and easy no matter which direction we went to.

Old needs updating. Too expensive and central AC for whole building means your room will be hot at night.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024

2/10

Room dirty, door won't lock, scarry neighborhood, total nightmare - if you want to spoil your whole month, stay here for 1 night. I'm not spoiled and I appreciate a low price deal but this is really not worth it even if you use your points and pay nothing.

Outdated interior, could do with a refurb. Floors and bathroom not very clean, no housekeeping done in the 2 days we stayed. Staff strict with check in time, we arrived 30 minutes early but had to wait. Location is a huge plus though.

The photos are very misleading. The room was very old and dark (it looked like it hadn’t been updated since the 1970s). We ended up switching to another hotel despite the room at the Crown Hotel being nonrefundable. The only good part was the very nice woman who checked us in.

The room was clean, so it met my minimum expectations. Although it seemed the room was partly refurbished, as the hotel is very old, it would be better to improve some aspects to keep customers coming to stay. For example, the AC was still functioning but not strong enough to make my room cooler and noisy (there was a window but a fixed one), and the bathtub was leaking. It would also be appreciated if you could provide teabag/drip bag coffee and a mug as an electric kettle is provided.

I don’t liked bedding and air conditioning system totally unsatisfied.
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024

2/10

The room was very dusty and looked generally unclean, the towels were stained, bathroom door didn't close properly. We asked for room cleaning but the bedsheets were not changed. No toothpaste or toothbrushes (along with other basic amenities) were provided. No natural light. I will not be staying there again.
