Mt. Inwang is an ideal place to begin exploring Seodaemun-gu. This steep landmass comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, and National Museum of Korea to fully experience what's on offer in the area.

8.8/10 Excellent! (423 reviews)
We chose N285 for its location and price. The location was great, right next to the Insadong market and subway. The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptionally helpful in arranging a tour to the DMZ and taxi to the airport and spoke great English. I highly recommend this hotel.

8/10 Very Good! (1,348 reviews)
It was a good stay in almost all material ways save the semi permanent protest area with chairs tables and protest signs as a result of employee firings at the main entrance. One should be aware that there may be a large protest against the hotel taking place at the one and only pedestrian entrance to the hotel on a day of your stay (as was my case).
