"I booked a deluxe king room, which, according to the room type description, should have been on floors 8-19. However, when I checked in, the front desk assigned me a room on the 6th floor. Upon entering, I found the room to be quite ordinary. The bathtub and shower facilities were also poorly designed; even with a shower curtain, water would spray out, leaving a puddle on the floor. I later checked my booking and realized they had given me the wrong room type! That evening, I went to the front desk to discuss it. Initially, they insisted that room 601 was a large room and there was no difference, even claiming other rooms would be smaller... It was only after I insisted that they agreed to move me to a higher floor, 1301, the next day. As expected, the higher-floor room was noticeably newer. What a waste of money for the first night's room difference!"

"Stayed at Myeongdong Merlin Hotel for a short transit and overall it was a good experience. The location is convenient about 15–20 minutes to Myeongdong Night Street, which is great if you want easy access to shopping and food.
We arrived quite late (around 10pm) after traveling from Busan and checked out early at 5am to head to ICN airport. Even with the short stay, everything went smoothly. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, which we really appreciated after a long journey.
We were traveling in a big group (18 people), and the hotel managed us well. Rooms were clean and facilities were sufficient for a short stay. Service was also efficient.
Overall, a solid and convenient choice especially for short stays or transit in Seoul 👍"

The room was perfect for a solo traveler! All the facilities were complete and clean, and I really liked the decor.

"We booked two rooms for our trip to Korea this time, one for my dad and one for my best friend and me. We were all very satisfied with our stay here for our first Korean trip. The hotel facilities, service, and accessibility were all quite pleasing. The bibimbap for breakfast was absolutely delicious 😋 and had an authentic Korean touch. Public transport, both buses 🚌 and subways 🚇, was very convenient, and the hotel is also close to Dongdaemun. It saved us a lot of travel time, which was great. Next time I come to Korea, I'll definitely stay here again! 😊"

"First off, the location of the Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong hotel🏨 is absolutely fantastic. It's right opposite Lotte Duty Free, and getting there from Incheon Airport is super convenient – just take the 6015 bus directly to the hotel. If you're heading to Gyeongbokgung Palace, you can take bus 406 to Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, and the palace is just a short walk from there. The subway station right outside the hotel (Euljiro 1-ga) makes it easy to get to Dongdaemun; you can recharge your transit card at the machines inside the station (they're easy to use and have a Chinese language option). From Euljiro 1-ga to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, you'll see APM as soon as you exit... and Myeongdong shopping street is right next door, which is amazing for shopping. The only downside is that the price can be a bit steep during peak season, but the location definitely makes it worth it!"

"The hotel's location is great, not far from Sinsa Station and surrounded by many restaurants. The room wasn't small, and the bathroom was huge with a bathtub, so you could shower or soak. The water pressure was also excellent. I was surprised they even provided toothbrushes, as most hotels in Korea no longer do. They also stocked hair gel, toner, and other amenities, which was a really nice touch. They were very generous with the bottled water, providing 4 bottles daily. The only issue was right after checking in, maybe because they registered a male guest, I received many strange phone calls. My female companion answered a few times, and they eventually stopped. Later, I realized there might be a spa downstairs that offers other services."

The room was very clean too. After ordering takeout, you need to sort your own trash, but it wasn't that difficult after doing a little research!

"This hotel has very clear pros and cons. The biggest advantage is that the airport shuttle bus stop is right outside the door, making transfers to and from the airport super convenient. There are also three subway lines right outside, and the front desk staff can communicate in Chinese, which is very helpful.
My friends and I booked a triple room. Since we had different schedules each day, we specifically asked the hotel for two key cards. Unfortunately, on the first day, the card I had wouldn't open the door. Luckily, the card my friend had, who returned to the hotel earlier, worked fine. The next morning, I went to the front desk to report the issue. They gave me a new card, but it still didn't work when I tried it upstairs. So I went back down again, and they gave me another new card, but that didn't work either. Finally, I brought the working card down with me, and they reset both cards, which finally fixed the problem. After the first two failed attempts, the hotel staff showed no apology whatsoever, making guests go back and forth between the floor and the lobby two times. After the third reset, I asked what we would do if it still didn't work, and the front desk agent very coldly said, 'Well, on my system, it shows it's fixed.' I wonder if the system didn't show it was fixed the first two times? This originally simple issue wasted at least half an hour of my time, and there wasn't a single word of apology. To be honest, I was quite annoyed. Also, the front desk staff changes very frequently; in the time it takes to go up and down in the elevator, the person has changed, and you have to explain the whole story again.
Furthermore, the triple room was very small, and the bathroom was even smaller. The bathroom also had a shower/tub combo, and the shower water easily splashed out, which was very inconvenient. If there are other options available next time, I won't choose this hotel."

GGuest UserThis hotel clearly puts a lot of thought into every detail, and it's by far the best experience I've had during my stays in Seoul.
1. **Warm, but not overbearing service.** From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by a Korean gentleman. Then, a friendly, seemingly Western staff member helped me with the entire check-in process. Afterwards, he even gave me a map in Chinese and explained the surrounding neighborhood and transportation options. The whole experience was fantastic (P.S. The hotel offers free breakfast to all guests from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. I woke up too late this time, but I'll definitely try it on my next visit).
2. **Reliable cleanliness.** The black tiles around the sink, which usually show water stains easily, were completely spotless. The bed and tables were equally tidy. What's more, and this is a significant point, it's the *only* hotel I've stayed at in Seoul where there was no unpleasant smell from the drains. There was also a very subtle, understated fragrance in the air, which was lovely.
3. **Tasteful decor and sensible space planning.** I checked in in the afternoon, and the sun was shining beautifully into the room. It was so blissful to lie on the bed, bask in the sun, and do some writing. Outside the window, it was a semi-residential/office area, so there wasn't a lot of loud traffic noise, ensuring a good night's sleep.
**In summary:** An absolutely wonderful hotel! I'd recommend it to all my friends visiting Seoul.

GGuest UserThere's no check-in process; a code is sent via email, so you can head straight to your room, which was great! The washing machine and microwave were a big plus, and being able to watch Netflix on the TV was fantastic. The only downside is it's a bit of a walk from the station, which could be tough if you have a lot of luggage.

GGuest UserThe hotel's location is excellent. It's very close to Sinsa Subway Station, and if you stick to the main road, there's no steep hill like some photos online might suggest.
It's right next to Seoul Forest, and you can walk to Apgujeong in about 10-15 minutes. There's also a three-story Olive Young just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, which is super convenient! While the rooms aren't huge, the soundproofing is pretty good, and the shower water pressure is absolutely fantastic!
If you stay here, definitely make sure to check out the cafe on the top floor – the views are amazing. Overall, highly recommend. (Pics 1 & 2: Hotel rooftop cafe/bar. Pics 3 & 4: Views from the room)

GGuest UserThe room is incredibly spacious, easily accommodating two people on one bed. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, plus a large bathtub, and all toiletries are well-stocked.
The hotel is super close to Sookmyung Women's University Station, with no stairs to climb, making it very convenient if you have large luggage.
There are tons of food options around the university, whether you're dining alone, craving hotpot, or BBQ. Nearby, you'll find Olive Young and SPAO, perfect for tourists. There are also many photo booths and cafes. Basically, the area feels like a local residential neighborhood, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in everyday Korean life.
The hotel service is also excellent! They offer luggage storage, and when I asked for an extra blanket, it was brought up very quickly. They also do simple trash disposal and cleaning daily.
They also offer a three-hour driving tour of Seoul. I didn't have time to try it this trip, but if you're interested, you can inquire at the front desk.

GGuest UserI stayed here for 8 nights as a solo traveller and honestly couldn't have asked for a better home base in Seoul.
Location is the standout. The hotel sits right in the heart of Hongdae, meaning bars, clubs, and nightlife are all within easy walking distance, and for those late nights when you just want food and don't want to go far, the ground floor and immediate surrounds have an incredible range of takeaway options plus three or four convenience stores steps from the entrance. Being able to grab food and come back to the room at any hour without any effort was something I genuinely appreciated more and more as the stay went on.
Getting around the rest of Seoul was also never a hassle. The nearest train station is only a 6 or 7 minute walk, which is very manageable even with luggage on arrival and departure.
The room itself was clean and well maintained throughout my stay. The housekeeping staff on level 14 deserve a special mention; my room was always made up perfectly, and the cleaning lady I crossed paths with regularly was genuinely warm and welcoming every single time. That kind of small, consistent friendliness makes a real difference over a longer stay. Reception was equally helpful and approachable whenever I needed anything.
One thing worth mentioning for the right traveller: on Friday and Saturday nights you can hear some noise from the street, which is completely expected given how central the location is. The windows do a solid job of blocking most of it, and it was never an issue for me personally. I slept fine throughout. That said, if you need total silence to sleep, this probably isn't the right fit for you. For everyone else, it comes with the territory of staying somewhere this well located and it's a non-issue.
For the price point, the combination of location, cleanliness, convenience, and genuine hospitality is hard to beat. I would return here without hesitation on my next visit to Seoul.

GGuest UserThe Designers Hotel Jongno
A Christmas & New Year Story from an Aussie Traveler
I arrived in Korea just before Christmas, trading Australia’s summer holiday season for the cold, glowing winter streets of Seoul. The moment I stepped into The Designers Hotel in Jongno, soft carols and small Christmas decorations welcomed me, making it clear that I would be spending the holidays somewhere completely new.
Outside, Seoul shimmered with tiny trees in café windows, warm street lights, and a crisp winter breeze. As I planned where to spend the New Year’s countdown, I explored DDP’s dazzling lights and the lively Dongdaemun streets, but Bosingak kept calling to me. Its blend of history, year-end calmness, and lingering Christmas atmosphere made it feel like the perfect place to greet the new year.
Back at the hotel, my plans unexpectedly changed. I had booked only one night, but the staff were so warm and kind—asking about my first Korean winter and even offering directions to Bosingak—that it felt like receiving small Christmas gifts. Their sincerity, especially during the busy holiday season, left a real impression.
My room was cozy, quiet, and spotless, with crisp white linens that felt like part of the winter scenery. After walking through cold night streets filled with Christmas decorations, sinking into the warm bed felt comforting, almost like living here rather than traveling. The washing machines and dryers in the lobby were another huge bonus, especially with thick winter clothes piling up.
Jongno itself added to the charm. Outside the hotel were winter streets filled with coffee aromas, traces of Christmas decorations, and easy access to Seosulla-gil, Hipjiro, and Bosingak. Walking to the bell pavilion through this seasonal atmosphere became one of my favorite parts of the trip.
What was meant to be a one-night stay naturally extended into more. The kindness of the staff, the peaceful room, the winter mood of Jongno, and the chance to spend both Christmas and New Year in Korea made the hotel feel like the perfect base for the season.
Overall:
The Designers Hotel Jongno isn’t about luxury—it’s about warmth, comfort, and genuine hospitality. Between my first Korean Christmas and the ringing of Bosingak’s New Year bell, this hotel became a place where I made winter memories I’ll always remember.
6.7/10
PpmorrowNice location, it will take about 10 minutes from the metro station. Modern fashionable business location of the Gangnam? Sorry, it is not. Urban beauty of the Seoul is so-so. Cafes or restaurants aren't very close, but not so far. But the sport cafe with evening soccer translation is close and you will hear it all the might very well.
Facilities.. You will have no toothbrush and soap. Only single use shampoo and shower gel that weren't updated even every day. Towels also not refreshed every day. Multiple use sleepers.
Drinking water you may find in the hidden fridge. Electric kettle i have not use. I dont remember, maybe the tea bags where available. Even condoms where but i prefer a toothpaste with toothbrush.
Once i have asked to clean the room it was ignored. But on the third day was done. One time at my 4 night stay.
The best option i have met as EU standard USB 2A phone charger which helped me every night. As i have took chinese standard charger only, so stupid for me. Might be smarter next trip.
Hope my currency rate will grow again and the hotel costs with these weathers will not look so high. But last time i expected more.
Anyway thank you!
