Since it was just opened, I searched for it on Naver Maps or Kakao Maps and it didn't come up, so I was worried it might actually be there, but it turned out fine!
There was no floor guide on the website, so just to clarify, there is a kiosk on the 4th floor where you can check in, receive your room number and go to your room. The elevator goes up to the 5th floor, and there is a common space on the 6th floor where you can enjoy a cafe corner, ramen, and other services. The microwave was broken so I couldn't heat up my tteokbokki, which was disappointing 😭
The room was clean and had a refrigerator and table, so I had a comfortable stay!

The front desk service was excellent; they were very patient and resolved all my issues. They also thoroughly explained everything I needed to know about my stay. The separate bathroom and toilet were very convenient. The capsule sleeping space was surprisingly large, and being able to store my luggage under the bed was a huge plus. For a solo traveler in Seoul, this place offers great value for money. There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and even a 'Life4Cuts' photo booth downstairs. It's also very close to the subway station, so the location is fantastic. Plus, you need a card to enter and exit, which makes it feel very safe.

Extremely satisfied!! I originally booked a guesthouse, but found out it had a shared living room, essentially a large suite, which meant terrible soundproofing. I canceled two days before my trip and rebooked this place instead, and the price was just right.
This hostel is small but has everything you need! I booked a double room, which was neither too big nor too small, and even had a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. There was a desk, a fridge, chairs, and a three-tier cabinet! All very practical. My friend and I came back with lots of bags every day, and we could still spread out our two suitcases to organize them. Once organized, we could just slide them under the bed.
The room lighting was also great, Koreans really know how to do it 👍
The basement restaurant had free instant noodles, which I didn't eat much of, but it's a nice perk for those who don't like to eat breakfast but prefer a quick bite before heading out.
Plus, you can continue using the restaurant even after checking out! I checked out in the morning and had an evening flight, so I used the restaurant in the afternoon to rest, order some food, and then head to the airport. I'm not sure if you can still eat instant noodles after checking out; I personally think it's better not to take advantage, or just ask the staff to confirm. The staff were all very friendly, greeted everyone coming and going, and spoke excellent English.

We are tourists from China, and we had a very comfortable four-night stay here.
Firstly, the guesthouse is located in Myeongdong, very close to popular tourist attractions. Hongdae is less than 20 minutes away, and Seongsu-dong is about 40 minutes away. The nearest subway station is also about a 5-minute walk away.
Secondly, the guesthouse itself is very nice and quiet. The common areas have a microwave, water dispenser, refrigerator, and tableware. The room also has a refrigerator, and the toiletries smelled wonderful. There's a power strip on the bedside table, so Chinese tourists don't need to bring their own adapters.
Finally, the host is a very kind and patient person who helped us a lot during our stay, and we are truly grateful!
We highly recommend this guesthouse to all travelers visiting Korea!

This hotel has 3 main advantages: 1. Excellent team of administrators, always ready to help 2. Location perfect: historic center of Insadon, near 3 metro stations, one literally opposite the hotel 2. Soft mattress, pillows and blankets. Ideal location to Bunchon khanok Village 15 minutes walk, to Mendon 20, all nearby. I will definitely stop again

On arrival had average welcome. However, free water, tea and use of microwave in reception made up for this.
The hotel is very cutely decorated, aiming to have a European style with most/all decor. Most impressed with all the paintings done by Olivia Choi.
Breakfast was ample and although not a lot of variety for western style, korean style breakfast had a good variety and I can taste the heart of the aunties making them!
Room wise, again this was decorated with a bit of modern western style. However wasn't impressed with the lack of attention to details to certain areas, such as seeing a hair left on an unopened soap bar, grout between shower tiles not thoroughly cleaned, one of the towels having a very strong cleaning chemical smell. However, I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel experience, and these were only tiny details that I noticed which weren't too much of a major problem. I mainly picked this hotel for its location and the room size.
If you're looking for a comfortable, large room stay in centre of Seoul, with easy transport access or even walkable distance to popular places like myeongdong and the 2 palaces, I would recommend it.

Location is one of the best consider the price which is very affordable. I stay for 5nights however as they do not have many rooms, I think just 1-3 rooms per room types, they tend to sold out quite fast, which for my case, I have to change room type 3 times for the 5 nights stay.
Some room is very small, which is expected for the price and the location. Plus point is that, a huge window to look outside. Room heating is also good during winter time, also room is clean and tidy.
Only negative is that as I have to check out at 12pm and re check in again at 3pm if u have different room type, and staff may have different instructions on where to store your luggage. However they will bring it luggage to the room once it’s available which is good. Overall, for that pricing, no complaints.

Pros:
1. Great location: within walking distance to major attractions, surrounded by a bustling commercial area, and not far from the subway.
2. Good for family trips if you're just looking for a place to sleep. The facilities, though simple, are quite complete.
3. The bathroom is quite spacious and even has a bathtub.
4. The front desk staff can speak Chinese.
Cons:
1. No universal power outlets; you need to bring your own adapter.
2. The bedside outlet was broken and not repaired, which was inconvenient for charging devices overnight.
3. There are no power outlets in the bathroom, so you have to use the hairdryer in the main room. Also, the shower has no partition, so water splashes everywhere.
4. The front desk is often unattended; you have to call if you need anything.
5. They only change towels and empty the trash daily, no actual cleaning is done, and they don't even replace toiletries like toothpaste and toothbrushes.
Conclusion: It's a decent place to stay, and the cons are manageable, especially considering the price.

The space is enough for 4 people in the room of bunkbed, but if you bring a big luggage it's quite tight. Share bathroom inside the room with the amenities body soap, shampo and rinse, per bed got 2 small towels each. Location just next to city hall, some history landmark just by walking distance.
Room only cleaned when someone check out. In front of the front desk they have coffee station which I enjoyed the instant coffee and simple breakfast that I bought from closest GS25

Great
GGuest UserLove the location. Smack in the middle of Hongdae and easily accessible to Hongik University Metro station and to all the hip and bustling korean eateries!. Alot of shopping including a few Olive Youngs, medicube and Blue Elephant on the same street. Spoilt for choice for young and hipster fashion as well as slightly higher end retail along the main roads. Hotel service is great and service staff have been very helpful. General cleanliness of the hotel room is good and chamberlady will refill the bottles of water and change the towels punctually everyday. There is a mini gym and a chinese dim sum restaurant inside the hotel and a very good beef soup just directly opposite the hotel which we had on our last day before getting a cab to the airport.
TTharunKlWe had an exceptional stay at Nine Tree Premier Hotel Insadong by Parnas. The biggest highlight is its unbeatable central location everything you could possibly need is right at your doorstep. From shopping and great food options to easy access to buses and the subway, it truly doesn’t get more convenient than this.
The hotel is modern, very clean, and well-maintained, making it perfect for a comfortable stay, especially when traveling with family. The vibrant Insadong area adds even more charm, with plenty to explore just by stepping out.
The staff were professional, friendly, and always ready to assist, which made our experience seamless.
While it’s not overly pricey, it offers excellent value for money and is absolutely worth what you pay.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul!
GGuest UserThe hotel boasts convenient transportation. You can take the airport bus to and from the airport, and the drop-off point is also where you catch the return bus, which is super handy. I took bus 6015 and got off at Myeongdong Station. After getting off, you'll see Subway Exit 8. Head towards Exit 8, and at the first intersection, turn right and walk straight. (Make sure you don't go past the CU convenience store; it's actually right opposite Exit 8.) It's quite close, just a few hundred meters walk. The hotel is also very close to our embassy, which gave me extra peace of mind. Every morning, I could see the embassy from my window seat. The room was a bit small; opening a 28-inch suitcase made it feel a bit cramped, but the hotel's cleanliness was good. The soundproofing was excellent; even though it's in lively Myeongdong, it was very quiet at night, which was fantastic.
GGuest UserMy stay at HOTEL BOTANIK's Deluxe King Room in Myeongdong exceeded my expectations. The room had a modern, apartment-style feel with brand new facilities and full amenities, making it ideal for those planning a longer stay in Seoul.
The in-room amenities were definitely the highlight. The air conditioning had a control panel for temperature adjustment, and it came equipped with an AirDresser, a washer-dryer combo, a separate fridge and freezer, an induction hob, and a microwave oven. Inside the cabinets, there was even a wine cooler, wine glasses, and mugs, giving it the feel of a small boutique apartment. Charging was also convenient, with both USB and Type-C outlets available, and the bidet toilet had a full range of functions. The bathroom featured a wet/dry separation design, and the water pressure was consistent, making for a very comfortable shower.
However, there were a few things to note:
The kitchenware provided was quite basic, with only two plates, which might be insufficient if you plan to do a lot of cooking. Also, laundry detergent wasn't provided in the room, but you could purchase it at the front desk if needed.
There are several construction sites near the hotel, but surprisingly, the soundproofing was excellent during my stay, with no noticeable noise at night. My sleep quality was quite peaceful.
Overall, this hotel is more of a ”high-functional type” accommodation. The facilities are new and highly practical, feeling more like staying in a well-designed apartment than a traditional hotel. It made for a very comfortable stay.
GgobacktonovemberThe hotel is very nice + very newly designed hotel.
Pros:
-nearby the sinsa station/area (but required around 5-7 minutes walk there)
-Big and cozy bed for two people
-Toilet with good warm water
-Good amenities
-Good space for 2 luggages to fit (big ones)
-Has a very nice cafe on the rooftop to see seoul city
-Able to see seoul towel from our room!
What to improve/Take note:
-the staff service at night can’t really speak english so sometimes I don’t understand what they say abiutbthe deposit when checking in.
-No microwave/only fridge available
-The walkway is actually on the slope/hills (the picture doesn’t show that much that the hotel is on the hill so anyone who has big luggages or on snow time it is recommended to book an uber on the winter time)
YYan-ZhengThis hotel is super close to Seoul Station, accessible from either Exit 1 or 7 (see picture 4). We had an overnight layover before catching the KTX, so staying here was incredibly convenient. You can even walk here along the Seoullo 7017 Skygarden. Plus, there's Lotte Outlets and a supermarket nearby for some shopping. We booked a family twin room with a queen bed (1.5m) and a single bed (1.1m), perfect for three people, and the space was just right. Check-out is at 12 PM, and at around 700 [currency, presumably KRW], it's really good value for money. The service was good, though we didn't get a chance to use any other facilities!
GGuest UserThis place offers a keyless entry, a kitchenette with a full size fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. The washing machine was on uneven ground, so it literally walks out of its compartment during the spin cycle. The place doesn't offer any crockeries, plates, cutleries or detergents for the kitchenette to be functional.
The hotel shares a lobby with another accommodation, so it can be confusing checking in. It is located close to public transport, and Myeongdong shopping street is about 10-15 min walk away or 1 bus stop.
The front desk will not call taxis for patrons, even if it's to the airport. So make sure you have k.ride setup and ready to go.
GGuest UserIt's always a nice stay here! The location is very great, olive young is downstairs , and the subway station also downstairs, it's near the airport bus stop too! They have bidet and the toilet is scpacious, the room also spacious, you can store many luggages, they have tables and chairs too for you to eat or have some work, their receptionist lobby and all the staff also very helpful during my stay, definitely recommended, not to mention they have 24h convenient store at the 3rd floor and laundry room
MmunimunitantanThe room looks exactly like the pictures. The bed was really comfortable and clean, with no strange smells (housekeeping came daily to clean and empty the bins). The bathroom was spacious, making for a pleasant shower experience. We chose a quad room, and there was enough space to spread out my luggage. There are also lockers for valuables, but you need to bring your own padlock. The accommodation is on the third floor with no elevator, so it's a bit of a struggle if you have large luggage like I did. Also, the beds don't have curtains, which can make you feel a bit exposed. Since the room is small, any noise, like using the toilet in the middle of the night, is amplified, and I worried about disturbing others. However, for the price, I'm very satisfied! No complaints at all!
AAllysh@comfortable place...close to dongmyo flea market..have to wait for more money because it's random when walking, wash your eyes at dongmyo flea market..close to laundry..wanting to wash clothes in the middle of the night is ok..,,😂😂😂
