Hotel in a lovely location. Staff helpful, quiet. Rooms slightly small. Main issue was they didn’t change our bedsheets during our 4 night stay even though we had asked for this.

When another room uses the toilet or shower, you will hear water running through the pipes really really loud, too loud to sleep through. Make sure you bring ear plugs. This was the worst thing. The mattress is super hard and the pillows feel like they're made of plastic. Sheets were not clean and not changed until I complained. The shower curtain didn't reach near the ground, making in impossible not to leave the entire bathroom wet. On the bright side, internet was fine, the location was good, the toilet was heated, service was fine.

Not too bad. Table or desk is kinda small to put your stuff down. After showering the bathroom floor gets all wet because it doesn’t have a bathtub. But they provide you a bathroom slipper to wear (Korean style I guess). If you are from the U.S, remember to bring the wall outlet adapter to charge your phone (2 prongs cylinder shape) in Korea. 2-3 mins walk from airport bus stop 6011, 5 mins walk to Changdeokgung palace ( but Gyeonbokgung palace is much better with a beautiful park), 7-10 mins walk to Angkuk station which is kinda far for me as I walk all day long going to places and retuning to hotel tired at night.

Near to Amenities
The hotel is very near to Anguk villages and they do have several hanbok rental shops around as well. The location of the hotel allows easy access to museums and palaces that are perfect for photos with hanboks. The nearby village offers good food as well as a place to shop as well. On the downside, it will be better if the hotel rooms were to be bigger so that we can have more space to walk and to put our luggage. The cafe downstairs does not seem to be working but it was good that a convenient store is placed right next to the hotel. The beds can be a little softer and the air condition stopped in the middle of the night for our room but the hotel staff changed it for us and tried to fix the problem. Overall, not a bad experience but the hotel facilities can definitely be improved on. I really loved the facilities around and it allows me to indulge in the entire korean experience with their local cuisines and activities.

good location
The room was very small but reasonably clean. If you are staying just for a couple nights, the location is very convenient to so many downtown attractions (can walk) and to subway. Airport bus within 5 min walk. Breakfast literally consisted of two types of sugary cereal (frosted flakes and some chocolate type) and white toast with butter and jam and awful coffee. It's easier to step out to the 24-hour convenience store right outside and get something decent there.

Place for the weekend.
It was alright. No serious complaints. The room was fine, the bed was a little stiff. The only issue was the smell of the refrigerator. It had a bad stench, and it was not used during our stay.

Sewerage smell ruins hotel
I booked a double room for 10 nights in the Benikea Nobel Hotel in Insadong, Seoul. I was given room 205. It was 20 metres square as per the advertisement but felt smaller because space was taken up by an entrance lobby. There was a computer in the room as well as free wi-fi but no wardrobes or drawers for clothing or facilities to place our suit cases. On day one we noticed that the 4 way shower was not working, only the hand held shower worked. We advised reception and we had to remind them again on day 2. On day 3 when we enquired, we were told that it could not be fixed. We also adised the hotel of a really bad sewerage smell coming from the bathroom. They said that would look at a room change. Because we were out touring during the day, we had to wait another day for a room change. the rooms offered were inferior, so we stuck with the sewerage smelling room and kept the bathroom door closed and the exhaust fan going 24/7. We opened the bedroom window, which looked at a brick wall, to ventilate, but noise from the next door taekwando facility and mosquitoes limited the time we could air our bedroom. The beds are very firm and we found it not to our liking and rather uncomfortable.

Great location, friendly staff, nice and clean. The only negative was the beds - rock hard mattresses with large pillows covered in these vinyl covers (under the pillow case) that made the pillow feel like a balloon. I slept fine the first night (after being awake for over 24 hours due to the 17+ hour journey), but barely slept on subsequent nights.

Good location, small room
Room are really small even we have only one luggage still need to move it around for walking space. Clean room and every day housekeeping. Breakfast is ok for me. It's cereal, toast, boiled egg and coffee. Many restaurants near by, convenience store locate in front of hotel. Free washing machine but did not have dryer. For Airport Bus, stop at Changdeokgung palace. Walk along the road to traffic light in front of the palace. Turn right to small alley(Yulgok-ro 6-gil) before the traffic light, just walk about 50m to the hotel, it's will locate on your left hand side behide CU convenience store. For subway, stop at Anguk station exit 4, turn back and walk along the school wall toward to Changdeokgung palace until you see the traffic light in front of the palace. Turn right to small alley(Yulgok-ro 6-gil) before the traffic lights, just walk about 50m to the hotel, it's will locate on your left hand side behide CU convenience store.

Nice hotel. Close to places of interest & shopping
Close to Anguk Station. Convenient to take Airport Bus 6011 and alight at Changdeokgung Palace bus-stop. Good for first time visitors to recce the vicinity of the hotel area and the Seoul City. Close to Changdeokgung Palace, Insadong, Jongno, walking distance to Bukchon Hanok Village. Hotel is safe but have to bear the noise from the nearby martial arts school. Room is small but comfortable.

The good thing with the hotel is that, palaces are just few minutes walk. The bad thing is I reserved for KIng bed and they gave us a queen bed and they said that there's no king bed. Controls for tv, aircon, toilet bowl, etc ., are not that friendly. There should be an English translation.

Perfect Location!
My partner had a fantastic stay. The location is perfect to some attractions and is close to metro links and bus lines. We caught a bus from the Incheon Airport that dropped us off right outside the Hotel. The area is safe and easy walking distance to brilliant restaurants. The bed was a little bit hard but we still had a very sound sleep. Great Stay, highly recommended.

Functional, clean and a great location
Good choice if you are budget conscious but want to be centrally located. Very close to insadong. The Room was clean, but small but we were comfortable enough for our 4 night stay. The staff spoke very little English so it has a sort of travelodge feel as once you have your room key there is little interaction with them father than exchanging pleasantries. All in all I would recommend the Noble because we knew what we were getting up front.

Clean, quiet, mid-range hotel in a good location
Nice, clean, quiet, reasonably-priced hotel. It underwent expansion since the last time we stayed there-- a large lounge area was added with dining tables included-- though we never saw anyone in the area when we were there. Too bad the reception area wasn't expanded-- it's small.Hotel is in a good location--not far from downtown, surrounded by cultural attractions, and just minutes from a subway line. Yet the hotel is not easy to find-- it faces a narrow back street.

The hotel is very convenient for tourist like ours. The airport bus stop is just a few steps away from the hotel. Major Palaces and insadong are near the hotel and convenient store and coffeeshop just infront of the hotel too. Subway line 3 Anguk station is just 200 meters away from the hotel also. Just an exit 4 to go to the hotel. Overall, Noble Hotel is a good choice to stay in Seoul.

Hotel near subway and bus and palace
My sister and I had an excellent experience in this hotel. Upon arrival, we were upgraded into a larger room with no additional charge so we were thrilled! The room was large considering the money we paid (2 large beds), and it was very clean and housekeeping came everyday. Since we came during winter, we were pleased that the floor had a heater and the bathroom had hot shower. My sister loved their bidet (hihi), and I loved their large tv. Also, the hotel was very near Anguk subway station exit 4, and the bus stop (for airport and other stops) was just in front of the hotel. The changdeokgung palace was just across the street, making it easy for the taxi drivers to understand where you should be dropped off (they find it hard to understand english so just say you're going to changdeokgung instead of Noble Hotel). There were also nearby convenience stores and eating places near the hotel. It was also walking distance from Bukchon Hanok Village and Insadong. We also love how quiet our hotel was eventhough it was placed near the major attraction sites, since it was placed in a quiet neighborhood and it helped us feel safe since we were two girl students travelling. Also, the staff was very courteous and they even lend ther adaptors to us since we failed to bring one. We haven't tasted their breakfast though since we always wake up late, but they said it was just bread and coffee. I suggest you try it! Overall, we love this hotel and we will definitely come back!!

we spent a week in this hotel and overall it was good. it was quiet and the location is just nearby Anguk station. the Palace is also just outside the block, can take photos anytime. the only thing we complained about is that whenever we on and off the lights the doorbell rings. its annoying. the staff were friendly and gives your request immediately like extra pillow or toiletries. the hotel room looks old and dark probably because the floorings are all wooden. the toilet is clean though.Dont forget to bring univ.adapter plug as they only have the 2-socket plug to lend you.
