Dormy Inn EXPRESS SEOUL Insadong

Location was great, right in the heart of Insadong. Easy access to shopping, food and sights.

I have good impression of the property and all the staffs. For a solo traveller, the room I had was just nice for me and one 24” luggage but for 2 it might be tight if you have 2 large suitcases. It has free self service laundry washing machines(detergent is free) and the drying machine cost 2000yen for 45mins which is a good deal. Train station is within 5mins walk down a slope and lots of places to eat once you walk downhill. There’s a 7 Eleven just beside the hotel and a cafe just opposite if you just want a snack. Theres a relaxing onsen(public bath) which is nice after a long day of walking. Hotel provides free ramen between 9pm to 10.30pm, free ice cream during the afternoon and yakult in the morning. Breakfast is good, I would recommend it just to try out different varieties of Korean and Japanese food on the days when you want to relax and chill in the morning and not worry about what to eat.

Great location, right near lots of restaurants and good transport links. Really peaceful hotel, once through the doors its nice and quiet. Lots of free goodies! Drink at reception, ice cream after onsen and 9pm noodles! The room was larger than I was expecting, had much needed aircon, a nice desk and huge mirrors! I'm plus size so struggled to fit comfortably in the bath however with the big public bath in the basement it didn't really matter and the shower was great, good water pressure and other amenities. I also used the laundry facilities which were nice and simple. Great customer service from reception, they were plesent on arrival and helped me book a taxi to the airport as well.

We had a very comfortable and pleasant stay at Dormy Inn. The customer service was excellent, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. One of the highlights was the open-air bath – perfect for relaxing after a long day. The hotel also offers great extras like free ice cream, evening ramen, and Vitagen each morning, which made the stay feel even more welcoming. It's within walking distance to several train stations, though we mostly took Uber due to road closures caused by a presidential impeachment event during our stay. Overall, a wonderful stay with great amenities, warm service, and a touch of Japanese hospitality. Highly recommended!
