Excellent

It was clean accessible to the closest subway there was access to food and we felt blessed to stay here. Absolutely loved the hotel accommodation of discounts for massages and other things
Great location, close to most things you could want to see in Seoul. A couple of minutes walk to a subway station which can get you anywhere. Everything was very easy with check in and leaving my bags with the reception staff before and after check out. Rooms was lovely. Would recommend.

We were not super happy with our stay here. The room was extremely crammed and the toilet stopped working for a day. Also got a crazy sewer smell leaking into our room (maybe from outside?) Most of the front desk staff were nice but we were not pleased when we were asked to spend almost $100 to “rent” an extra blanket for the week…. If your guests are cold, give them a blanket and don’t be so stingy. Never have I had to pay for an extra blanket at a hotel. Anywho, the location is decent but I think you can get better for your money. If you’re in Seoul for a night only maybe this place is okay for that if you’re mostly just sleeping at the hotel not relaxing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Perfect size room for 1. Clean. Comfortable bedding. The hotel location was super perfect. Everything was in a comfortable walking distance. Location was also great for coffee and food options.
Cool view, there were renovations going on but we didn’t hear it. Staff was nice and a lot of cafes/food/shopping within walking distance. Public transportation is also very close
Close to shops and food. Great location. There is a convenience store by the lobby. Room is small though. Shower is in the same room as toilet and sink. Floor is wet when using sink and toilet.
I loved my stay here. The place was within walking distance to local restaurants. The hotel itself was nice and clean. Bathrooms are small but expected. The CU attached to the lobby was really nice too for late night snacks. The price wasn’t bad for how clean and nice the hotel was. I would stay here again in the future.
Staff was friendly and very helpful. Room was small but perfect and all amenities worked. The area was great with boutiques and street food

Disliked: Amenities
Small room for 2 people. The whole bathroom gets wet when showering. Otherwise, the location is excellent. Stayed for 5 nights. We were able to walk to most tourists spots and explored places by foot (shopping and dining).
Because we didn’t hang out in our room, the size didn’t matter much.
However, the TV should have at least an option for English.
The staff was nice and the room just big enough for 2 adults. Rooms very clean and lots of light fixtures. Favorite part was it's right in the middle of Insadong and a 20 minute walk from Myeongdong. You're right in the middle of most places and 20 minute walk from must subway lines.

The location of this hotel was amazing. Close to buses, trains, and great food/shopping/activities.
The hotel said they are going through renovations, and we assume that is for the bar/lounge b/c it was a construction zone when we went down to check it out. There was a strange smell in our room from the shower drain so we opened windows to maintain it. It is a simple layout and provided what we needed for our time there.
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.
This hotel's location is perfect for tourists as it is close to all the old palaces and markets. The room was super clean and the staff members were friendly and courteous! I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Seoul!
The Hotel N285 is very clean and in great condition. The space in my room was decent and very well laid out. The bed was comfortable and clean. The convenience store beside the lobby was great.
The location is great for walking to sites in the Insadong area. The park across street is in rough shape, but you are just seconds away from some of the best cafes and art galleries in the city.
I recommend the N285 Hotel very much
The hotel is located in Insadong so it is a great location for shopping and cafes. Its easy to walk or take public transportation. The room was very nice and the bed was actually quite soft and comfortable. The bathroom is a wet room but that's common in Korea. There is a mini fridge in the room and a CU downstairs.
