“1996 Jongro Inn strikes me as a smart choice for budget-conscious travelers; its location near Insadong and Ikseondong puts you in the heart of the action, and the convenience of a lift is a definite plus. The bidet is a welcome touch at this price point, and the surprisingly good soundproofing made for a peaceful stay. For those seeking value and a lively neighborhood, it seems like a winner.”
