At first, it wasn’t easy to find as it’s kinda tucked away. Had an email instructing what to do. As there’s no staff in person to greet me. But, the taxi I ordered on booking.com, the driver was fabulous!! Took my luggage right to my room door👍🏻 Lots of eateries as you turn right and go pass CU convenience store. At night, the place is a zoo for starving people!! The washing machine also had a dryer setting but needed to set it twice to dry properly. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic and drains rapidly👍🏻 The plug for the bidet , I had to push it in properly otherwise, no washy of the bottee😆 The cafe VVV is very good and guests get a 30% discount for brunch and 10% discount for drinks. Store room comes with a KeyCode, so, you can store luggage at anytime. My Walker was delayed by my airline and they delivered it into the storage room. Very efficient. Walking distance to Onion Bakery near Anguk Station and try Artist Bakery 🥯 get there early or long wait! I needed extra rubbish bags and water and drying rack and all were delivered by a lovely young lady within 10 minutes!! No cleaning during my 7 night stay. Will cost K$20,000 to clean. Since I am a Solo traveller, I am very clean anyway. The washing machine was used daily and English instructions under the dial helped a lot👍🏻 I couldn’t watch any TV as I don’t have a Netflix account and will cost money if I wanted to watch a movie 🍿 Too busy planning what to and where to go! There is a sauna and spa placed called Insedong Spa. My feet were swollen and I had a massage and sauna in a salt room and a bath. Pleasant way to end the trip. Best place I have ever stayed and was Super Happy 😃

Need a clock on the kitchen wall and that’s it!

Urbanstay was our home base for two weeks in Seoul and the location was unmatched. Literally on the doorstep of Ikseon-dong, we were always moments away from an amazing new cafe or restaurant. Close to two subway stations, it was effortless getting around the city. The room was beautiful, the beds super comfortable, and everything you needed was provided - even a steamer for our clothes when they came out the dryer! Luggage storage is great. 7/11 just downstairs. There's no cleaning service for the duration of stay or front desk, so has less of a hotel vibe and feels more like an apartment block. We preferred it that way for a long stay. We did realize upon landing in Seoul after 8pm that we hadn't received the entry codes via email yet, but a quick email to the helpdesk rectified that and we had all necessary details before we even made it through passport control.

The location is incredible. Minutes away from what is definitely the coolest area in the city. it’s so easy to get around from there and it’s so easy to just walk to some of the most beautiful and enjoyable parts of the city. The property is clean and well managed. Amenities provided are great. Shower and shampoo products provided are really good quality. Even though it’s just a floor mattress not a bed, the mattress and bedding provided is exceptionally comfortable. Despite the room being really small, it’s nicely planned out so you don’t feel too squashed.

The complete lack of any kind of human management is a little bit jarring. We ran out of toilet paper and didn’t know how to ask for more. We asked for an extra blanket and we were not given the blanket and told that they had no extra blankets. Difficult to figure out the heating/cooling system. No room cleaning at all and no tools provided for room cleaning. WiFi speed was not great. One very odd thing was that there was no dish sponge to wash dishes, just dish soap, and again had no way to ask for one.

The Urbanstay Boutique Ikseon in Seoul was satisfactory. It is recommended for longer stays. It is walking distance to our office. The studio room size was OK. Kitchenette and laundry machine are available.

Cleaning services are not included but can be arranged for an additional fee. Basic supplies are provided for the first three days, with further supplies available upon request for a fee.

Location was perfect- many interesting destinations within walking distance or short bus ride away. The lobby area was nice and I appreciated that I did not have to go out to get a cup of coffee. The place had everything I needed and I did not have to eat out every meal

I stayed for 3 weeks and they do not provide additional supplies like toilet paper. Also the room will be more useful if there were several hooks at the entrance area and the back of the bathroom door. Hanging hats, umbrellas and jackets. Full length mirror on the outside of the bathroom door would have been nice too.

Overall I was very pleased with the experience. The location is unbeatable - right in the heart of one of Seoul’s hippest neighborhoods, with endless options for Korean street food just steps away. It’s also only a 5-minute walk to Changdeokgung Palace and several other historical and cultural landmarks, making it ideal for exploring the city's rich heritage. The room was more like a small flat than a traditional hotel, offering full amenities that made my stay feel comfortable and home-like. It was well-equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Overall, a fantastic place to stay in Seoul if you’re looking for a blend of convenience, culture, and a stylish atmosphere.

The use of a chatbot as the mobile front-desk was a bit inconvenient. On several occasions, it didn’t load properly, which made communication frustrating.

I spent over a week there and absolutely loved it. As a solo traveller and an introvert, this place was perfect for me. I arrived very late in Seoul so their self-check in process was very convenient for me. I was mailed the main entrance and room door codes ahead of time. I had no problem accessing the apartment at all following their instructions. If you arrive earlier than their check-in time or want to store your luggage on check-out day, they have luggage storage room as well you can use. The location was perfect, only a 5 mins walk to the nearest station. Ikseon-dong is a quieter compared to the popular Myeongdong touristy areas, so it was perfect for me. It's within walking distance to the hanok village, as well as some historical places such as the palaces etc. There's a 24hr convenience (CU) store right down the street, as well as a 7Eleven not far away. Lots of eateries and shops close by. The apartment itself (B) was perfect, large enough for 2 people, big comfy bed, great toilet/shower area, and also comes with a kitchenette and washing machine which was super convenient. It also had a quiet air conditioning system. They provided multiple towels. Dishwashing and laundry detergent was provided for own use, as well as shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. It was very clean and had all the needed facilities for a comfortable stay. I loved everything about this place and would definitely stay there again. There is also a cafe downstairs where you can have a drink and light meal, and just relax if needed.

I think it would've been nice if it provided some cleaning facility such as a broom/mop so if we're staying more than a few days we can easily clean the apartment ourselves, especially the floor.

This is my 2nd time staying here, this time with family. I love the location and convenience, within walking distance to many visiting spots, only a few mins away from many restaurants, also subway and bus nearby. The apartment is also lovely, very clean and bright, with all the basic necessities for a comfortable stay. Self check in was very easy.

It would be nice to have some basic cleaning supplies like a broom, mop and also toilet cleaner, especially if we’re staying more than a week.

Great contained apartment, with a washing machine and dishes supplied. The bed was comfortable and generally the apartment was very clean. A fab location as well, close to many convenience stores, cafes, bakeries etc. The subway is a short walk away.

Unfortunately, my stay was interrupted by another guest, who would take online meetings from 6am, speaking very loudly. This often jolted me awake in the mornings (the issue was reported). The walls of the building are quite thin, so perhaps not suitable for light sleepers.

A very convenient location that is located in the heart of many tourist attractions while also being secluded from the noise and the bustle that comes from living in those areas. The room and amenities were very clean and the process to check in was quite smooth despite not having a front desk (unattended accommodation). The cafe downstairs was quite chic but we didn't have time to check it out unfortunately due to the prevalence of many cafes in ikseondong.

Nothing in particular.
