Nonhyeon-dong Holidays from £963

We were given the top level which was housed with lousy compresors once you leave the room. The aircon was not cold at all and it was the height of their summer, 35 c degrees to 40 degrees. The room decor is outdataed, looks like from the 80s / 90s. There is only one key card. No bath tub. No shower cap or room slippers. Room amenties need to buy at front desk. It is next to a 24-hour cu supermart and there are eateries nearby. Not near to commercial areas, need to take the train especially as the weather is so hot in the day. The hotel offers offer black coffee and tea at its lobby. There is a chiller for bottled water which you can help yourself to.

Sejong Hotel is very conveniently located in Myeongdong, which was probably the best part of our stay. It is easy to get around Seoul from here, and there are plenty of restaurants, shops and other things nearby. The hotel itself, however, feels quite old and dated. The rooms and common areas could use a significant refresh, and at least one of the elevators was not working during our stay. Breakfast was also not included with our booking. Check-in is largely self-service using a computer, although the staff we interacted with were helpful and pleasant when we needed them. There were also ongoing labor protests outside the hotel during our stay relating to former hotel workers. I don’t know enough about the dispute to comment on the underlying issues, but as a guest the protests were noticeable and a little uncomfortable. Overall, the location is excellent, but the hotel is showing its age. It probably was a very nice hotel in its day, but today I think there are likely better and more modern options around Myeongdong. I would choose it primarily for the location rather than the hotel experience itself.

What a beautiful place! It has everything you'd hope for in a modern apartment. The lighting system is especially impressive once you figure out the controls—it really adds to the experience. The host was incredibly communicative and always easy to reach whenever we needed help. I accidentally triggered the security alarm and needed a password to disable it. I messaged the host through KakaoTalk and received the password almost immediately—sorry about that! 😄 The complimentary limousine service between the airport and the property was a fantastic convenience. It was smooth, efficient, and very easy to use by simply following the host's instructions. We also appreciated the welcome snacks, cereal, and drinks, which were perfect after a long international flight. The location is excellent and close to everything Gangnam has to offer. The nearest subway station is less than a 10-minute walk away, which we found very manageable. One tip for future guests: keep the property's address handy. Since it's not a commercial hotel, Uber and Naver Map occasionally had trouble finding the exact location. Overall, this was a wonderful place to come back to after long days of exploring Seoul. It was comfortable, quiet, and beautifully designed. Most importantly, we always felt that help was just a message away thanks to the attentive and responsive host. We would gladly stay here again.

N285 at Insadong was very comfortable, centrally located and within walking distance to dining, shopping etc...Staff was very helpful. Room and bathroom was compact and clean...I found this an ideal hotel for my short stay....

The hotel is right in the middle of the Myeongdong Shopping Street, close to restaurants and retail stores. No need to walk too far to eat or shop.
