Disappointing

Large room with comfortable bed, though mattress was on the firmer side. Plenty of storage space. More than anyone would need for a short term stay. Well equipped kitchen, though we had trouble with the oven when we tried to use it getting a heat sensor error. Good Location. The description mentions a lounge, which is either the breakfast restaurant or the area in reception where you can sit but no food or drink is allowed. Swimming pool didn’t look like the pictures and the hot tub was unavailable and the pool closes early (8pm) There were a lot of signs everywhere talking about what services were not available such as: No airport transport No umbrellas No hot tub No transport to shopping districts (which was advertised on the key card folder - perhaps this was seasonal) No free water No housekeeping at the weekend or bank holidays and No dish washing service at any time No noise to be made - doesn’t specify a time or place. Just no noise It’s not that we required all of these services but the sheer volume of ‘don’ts’ and ‘nos’ made it feel like we should be honoured to be let in at all and given the price, I would have liked to see some frills and services.

I have stayed at Orakai Insadong Suites multiple times and always enjoy the stay. The location and being an apartment style hotel are real bonuses! Service is prompt and courteous. The only negative would be some of the carpets/flooring in apartments as they are a bit worn.

Fine place to stay in Insadong

Orakai is a great location, and that's why we continue to stay. As a Fraser Suites it was great, but more than a decade later it is becoming worn under Orakai management. Reception is accommodating, if not effusive. Rooms need an update and burnishing.
