Orakai Insadong Suites

Love this hotel and the location. I was traveling with my sister and niece, and it's perfect for families who want the extra ability to cook breakfast, eat in, and bring back takeout after busy days of traveling. The hotel location is in the middle of a ton of restaurants of all types, cute shopping locations, and historic sites are walking distance (Note Palace is closed on Tuesday!!). We were able to walk from here to the "hop on hop off" bus ( the easiest place to pick it up is outside the palace gates). Also close to Subway and Trains station for KTX to Busan. There is a Korean BBQ restaurant attached to the hotel on one side and a coffee house on the other back door entrance. The hotel staff are friendly, super helpful, information, speak perfect English and can give you great advice. We got advice on our trips, luggage, and trip to Busan. Rooms are very spacious. All have individual AC, and beds are comfy. We did ask for extra pillows as used to thicker pillows at home. Was no problem. Rooms, towels, sheets are immaculately clean, well serviced rooms with housekeeping changing towels, emptying trash, vacuuming, etc. during our stat. There is a DND button on the door, so if you need a lie in, I recommend you use that. Housekeeping respects it. There are slippers in the cabinet inside the door as well, which is handy. We used the laundry machine with no issues. It is very handy as like to travel light but be able to do laundry, and you can either use the dryer cycle or use the handy hanging rack in the utility area! For convenience, there is a 7/11 across the street, 30 seconds away, so you can get milk, bread, coffee, water, tea, oatmeal, juices, etc. on arrival. The fruit store is up the street 2 mins away and has great fruit supplies, so there are no shortages for breakfast at the hotel if you've slow-moving teenagers!!

Located right off the bustling main street in Insadong, the property is clean, well maintained and has all the amenities needed for a family. Kitchen comes with all necessary cooking utensils, toaster, kettle, oven, dishwasher. Double sink toilets with bathtub and shower. Laundry room with a washer/dryer machine and rack for hanging clothes (but not that there is no laundry detergent; you can cross the road and grab a pack from the 7/11 there). Staff are helpful with needs and requests for extra towels etc. Note that there is no housekeeping on weekends, but staff help with new towels and taking out the trash (if needed).

It was right next to the main street in Insadong and incredibly spacious. The entrance to the hotel is modern and staff were pretty friendly and spoke reasonable English. The 7-Eleven being just across the road was really handy for getting small items as needed.

We stayed at Orakai Suite Hotel in Insadong between 25 and 28 January 2025. The hotel is perfectly located amongst the hustle and bustle, of the inner city being also within walking distance to most notable attractions such as the traditional villages, palaces, temples, stunning coffee shops and overall ambience of Insadong, which is stunning. Being from South Africa were snowfall is Rare, we also really were treated to magnificent snowfall in Seoul, twice. The hotel staff was 💯 fantastic, they assisted us three ladies throughout. Especially in the inclement snow conditions, with our luggage and transportation, we are most grateful for such warm hospitality. Best regards Annamika Premsagar, South Africa xoxo

The staff were really kind and helpful. The location is very good. Close to restaurants and the heart of the old town. The fitness center was well equipped.
