great location. easy to get to from the airport, used bus 6002, the station is just 3 minutes away from the hotel and it runs almost 24 h which helps when your flight back is at 8:50. The staff is really nice. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop terrace and even a place you can do your laundry for free. You can get anywhere for the hotel, buses and metro lines are very practical. All in all, highly recommend the hotel. :)

the room is in fact small, the listing however does specify this, so it was not a surprise. while the bathroom and linens were nice and clean, there where some wired stains on the walls, like rust, not sure from what, not much of a problem though.

The location was perfect and within walking distance of alot we wanted to see. It was also a few metres from a subway station. Behind the gold shops across the road we found alot of charming alleys with all sorts of shops and eateries that included barbecue restaurants and some places that specialised in desserts. Also loved having a meal at the top of the building, the free use of the laundry facilities , the cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff.

Only one thing, and that is the water would go beneath the glass shower screen and wet the rest of the bathroom, when showering. Luckily, we could easily ask for extra towels, to mop it up, but it was a bit of a nuisance.

The room was really nice, super comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, warm shower and good water pressure. Warm room but with AC available. There's a safe. 2 free water bottles in the mini fridge were a nice surprise! The area around is a bit weird, you gotta get through an alley with raw fish sitting in the open in order to access the hotel but it's basically perfect otherwise. Free laundry machines with detergent in the basement! Check out time being 11am is also wonderful for taking your time packing. There are McDonald's and Starbucks close by for easy take away breakfast (only until 11am). Seven Eleven also close by and always open! The Jongno 3-ga station is right on the street by the alley (take exit 14 for escalator when arriving, don't be like me and look for an elevator on the other side of the street T.T). Convenient access to many many areas including the airports. Airport bus stop also super close. Highly recommended.

Only downside is the shower. It had no door or curtain and the water got everywhere as far as under the sink and took a while to drain. The toilet area was spared the flooding thankfully.

I loved that the hotel was really close to the Jongno 3-ga subway station and bus stop, as well as to the airport bus stop. The staff was friendly and helpful, the amenities were good - I loved that I could do my laundry in the basement of the hotel. I also appreciated that they provided me with conditioner and body lotion on top of shower gel and shampoo. The bed was comfortable and I was given two pillows I could choose from - a softer one and a firmer one. The staff cleans the room thoroughly whenever instructed through the door sign. As others have mentioned, Grid Inn feels like a true boutique hotel. Overall, it was a good choice of accommodation.

The alley leading to the hotel doesn't look the best, especially at night. It's also next to a food street, so you might be passing by drunk crowds and older ladies frying fish. The room is on the smaller side, which is not unusual for Seoul, but I would have loved more storage space. The wardrobe was rather tiny and had a safe and a weight inside, which made it even more cramped.

The Hotel was clean and provided all requirements. Staff were wonderful and friendly - very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The Hotel was close to many sights most in walking distance, it was easy to navigate and central to everything i wanted to see.

The location was excellent, hidden in narrow rows of the Jongno area, very fascinating. The staff is very helpful and the rooftop terrace open for all the guests to just relax is really the cherry on top

The room gets heat up very easily, it can get pretty warm (and I visited in March).

Location good. Right next to exit 15 of Jongno 3-ga subway station and 6002 Airport bus stop. Ten minute walk to Gwangjang Market 광장시장. Staff speak English and are courteous. This is the third time I have spent at the hotel and probably will stay here again due to the location. Room is comfortable, and clean. Rooftop area good for a Soju drink after dark.

Room is a bit small for westerners. But it is typical for Asia.

Location was great, next to airport shuttle bus station, friendly staff, good bed, free water

Small rooms and small street to hotel (baking fish outside and therefore stinks to fish)

The hotel location was great, it was only a short walk to key sights like the palaces and was right next to both the metro and the airport bus stop. The staff were also really friendly, and the rooms - while small - were functional, safe, and comfortable. We hope to return to Seoul in a couple of years and - as long as it is both available and within our price range - we will probably use this hotel again.

It was a bit difficult to use the wardrobe in my room as the door hit the bed when opening, due to the size of the room, but other than that we didn't really have any issues with the hotel. There was also a strong smell of fish in the surrounding alleyways - so you may need to hold your breath if you don't like fish - but it's a local area so this is to be expected and it didn't really cause us any issues. Overall, we really liked the hotel.

location was nice. It takes only 30 second (really!!) from metro and even other line of metro took 5-10 minute walking, that’s all. We stayed in double bedroom, was just like other business hotel. room temperature was chill enough and the window was opening fantastically. We normally spend our time outside and stayed in hotel only for sleep, which means just right for us. All staffs are friendly and showed nice service. I love to come back here!!

bathroom was quiet small. For me it was okay but if you have a heights which over 160cm, just be aware that you bump your elbow in sink and roll paper when you using a toilet.
