Sejong Hotel Seoul Myeongdong Reviews

Wow, this experience was absolutely terrible! Turns out there was a strike downstairs, LOL, what a nigh**are. They literally woke us up in the middle of the night, then again at 6 AM. Even though it was only a few hours, it was beyond annoying. Don't bother with this hotel. While the location is perfect, it seems like they're going out of business. Seriously, don't go. It's a dump. They don't speak English, don't accept Alipay or WeChat, and had the audacity to ask for a 4400 RMB deposit! Who carries 880,000 Korean Won around? Do they think we're G-Dragon? Ctrip was a lifesaver though; they handled my complaint wonderfully. I'll definitely stick with them next time.

At the heart of Myeongdong. 50 meters from airport limousine bus stop, 10 meter from subway exit 10, below hotel got 7e. Across the street is daiso 12 floor.

I chose this place because of my long transit and I get 24 hours in Seoul. This place is in Myeongdong but away from the bustling streets. Airport limousine bus stop few steps away from the hotel. Very easy for the guest to get to and from the airport. But the hotel is very old. Room is very tired and not well-maintained. Right outside of the hotel still have all the cardboards which left by the ex-employees who went riot at the hotel due to unfair retrenchment. Very eye sore! The hotel doesn't provide disposable slippers so please bring your own. Otherwise you will have to wear the one that have been wore by millions of guests. A bit disgusting! Short stay is okay but if you're planning to stay for more than a night, please avoid this hotel. Find some other places which confirmed better than this.

The hotel is in a good location and easily accessible to most attractions. However, the room was not very clean and appeared worn down

Good location. Just behind the myeondgong street and the exchange rate is the best just outside the hotel. 7 Eleven is also just outside. But there are people protesting silently. No danger felt.

Recently, there's been some staff unrest, with many banners and stacked cardboard signs outside the entrance. In the hotel lobby, aside from 1-2 people at the front desk, there were no other service staff. I heard loud loudspeakers and police outside my window both at night and in the morning, but it was very brief and didn't significantly impact my stay. The cleaning service was still on point every day.

Environment: The location is excellent. It's just 20 meters straight ahead from Myeongdong Subway Exit 10. The airport bus stop is only 50 meters away, Myeongdong is right behind the hotel, and the North Face building and Daiso are across the street. Service: It was just average, I didn't really experience any special service. The hotel requires check-in at 3 PM, and they stored my luggage for me. There's a self-check-in machine at the front desk, which was quite convenient and available in Chinese. Facilities: It's definitely an older hotel. You absolutely need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, as the hotel doesn't provide them. They cost ₩1000 if you need to buy them.

Very good location. Room is very spacious. Just a bit old. Overall, price / performance is very good

It’s a good location

This is an older hotel, but the beds are large and the rooms are spacious. The location is convenient, and they offer complimentary bottled water. It's also warm in winter. However, the lobby and entrance can be a bit noisy during the day due to various activities and broadcasts from former employees. Don't worry about the evenings though, as it all stops on time.

The location was indeed great, but there was also a strike going on when we visited. Although it didn't affect our stay, it still left an uncomfortable feeling.

Great hotel location and comfortable hotel room. Protest still ongoing and currently occupying hotel lobby

Facilities: The decor is quite retro. There's only a bathtub with no separate shower, which makes showering inconvenient. Soundproofing is mediocre; you can clearly hear doors closing and people talking in the hallway. Cleanliness: Relatively clean. Transportation: Right outside is Myeongdong Station Exit 10. You can take airport bus 6015 directly from Incheon Airport to the hotel, which is very convenient. Environment: There were many people gathered and sleeping on the floor in the hotel lobby, seemingly requesting to return to work, but it didn't affect our stay. You need to use your room key card to operate the hotel elevators.

The location is fantastic, right by the subway exit, making it convenient to get anywhere. It's situated in the Myeongdong shopping area, so dining and shopping are a breeze. Plus, there are two 7-Elevens (one large, one small) right downstairs. The room is well-equipped with a mini-fridge, chargers, a smart toilet, and a bathtub. The shower pressure is incredibly strong, so you have to be careful not to get knocked over when showering!
