I understand that moxy hotels have few, if any, suites. As for breakfast, plats get similar to courtyard, 10/day.

Yes, USD10/day which means paying another ~10/day for breakfast here.
This hotel does apparently have suites (50sqm) but none was available for booking for my dates.
It's a good location. Subway is moments away.

Ryse
Any Fourpoints
Any Courtyards
Any Sheratons

Just booked into the Moxy Insadong for four nights. So far pretty decent - room is a decent size (even a tiny desk) and the bathroom is definitely larger than Moxys I'm used to. Reception on the top floor is a bit odd. Breakfast for 22k wasn't made to sound at all appetising.
Here while I look for something longer term so just wanted cheap. So far so good.

If that's what was putting you off, you might want to check if the hotels are still serving a full breakfast. I got the impression a few of them have effectively closed their restaurants. Certainly the gyms have been closed.

One night stay at the Four Points in Guro.
Typical Asian 4P. Gym is closed and buffet breakfast replaced with a box. Upgraded to a top floor Premium room from a Superior (their 3 suites weren't available, and they didn't offer the room with a kitchenette).
It's quiet, a five minute walk from the station.

It's one thing to close down facilities due to the pandemic, another to just offer a small allowance that's good for a coffee and a danish.

That's fair enough, especially as Moxy rates aren't now so far below others in the city (the 4Ps in particular - the Fairfield is often the cheapest Marriott in Seoul). For what it's worth my stay at 4P Guro had a breakfast rate that was KRW1,500 above base rate (about US$1.35). Worth it to take the points for a night.

Looks like the Chosun Palace is going to open in April as a Luxury Collection property where the former Renaissance used to be located. Will open as a Cat 6.

Thought it was interesting when I clicked the picture of their reception and this came up: "The Grand Reception is located on the 25th floor, where the guest can have the best check-in experience. More over, all guests have access to complimentary light foods and drinks service in the morning and evening at the grand reception area." I guess it's their own version of a mini lounge?
