Easel House

Easel House Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Easel House, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones that completely catch you off guard. Walking up to this boutique spot, there’s something immediately charming about the artistic vibe they’ve got going on. The name isn’t just for show either – there’s actually local artwork displayed throughout the lobby and common areas, which gives it this gallery-like feel that’s way more sophisticated than you’d expect.

What really impressed me (and I mean genuinely surprised me) was how they’ve managed to nail that sweet spot between cozy and professional. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which is refreshing in a world of cookie-cutter hotels. I stayed there during what seemed like a busy period, but the service never felt rushed or impersonal. The rooms themselves are thoughtfully designed – not huge, but cleverly laid out so you don’t feel cramped. They’ve clearly put effort into the details too – decent lighting for actually reading, outlets where you need them, and honestly, some of the most comfortable pillows I’ve encountered in this price range. The whole place has this quiet, creative energy that makes you want to slow down a bit, maybe sketch something yourself or just sit in the lobby with a coffee.

Here’s the thing that really sets Easel House apart though – it feels authentic rather than manufactured. You can tell someone who actually cares about hospitality is running the show here, not just following some corporate playbook. The 9.1 rating totally makes sense once you experience it firsthand. Sure, it’s not going to have all the bells and whistles of a luxury chain, but it delivers exactly what it promises with genuine warmth. The common areas stay lively but not chaotic, and there’s this nice mix of business travelers and creative types that creates an interesting atmosphere. I found myself actually hanging out in the lobby more than I usually would at hotels, just because it felt welcoming rather than like a sterile waiting room. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels more like staying at a well-designed friend’s place than a generic hotel room, this is definitely worth considering.

Reviews of Easel House

• Gdvn from South Korea (9/10)

  The room is well decorated and comfortable. I hope next time we can stay here again.

• Furhunna from Malaysia (6/10)

  Convenience and location. Interior was nice. It served the purpose to house the number of pax we required for a short overnight stay.

• Yun from South Korea (10/10)

  도착하는 날, 채크인 관련 연락도 자세히 주시고… 심지어 용산역에 택시를 보내주신다고 해서 감동받았습니다. 큰 업체가 아니라서 찾아가는데 약간 서툴렀지만 전혀 어렵지 않았습니다.
  슉소내부 사설이 아주 고급은 아니지만… 필요한 것들이 적재적소에 있었고 무엇보다 바닥에 먼지 하나 없이 청결한 위생상태가 너무 좋았습니다. 침구도 매우 편안했고 수건 상태도 좋았습니다.
  욕실에 샤워부스가 따로 없어서… 1명이 사용중엔 다른 사람은 화장실 이용이 어려운점은 아쉬웠습니다.
  전반적으로 매우 관리가 잘된 숙소입니다.
