Geumho-dong Holidays

In a good location, decent amenities

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.

The Sejong Hotel is located right in the busy, tourist‑friendly neighborhood of Myeongdong. The property itself is well‑maintained, with a touch of luxury and modern features like self‑service kiosks for check‑in/check‑out, an automated luggage storage room, and a well‑equipped coin laundry. I can’t speak for all the rooms, but ours felt a bit outdated — the furniture had drawers that opened on their own, the lamp shade wasn’t very clean, and the air conditioning mysteriously paused in the middle of the night, leaving the room overheated until we turned it back on. Maybe it was some kind of eco mode to save electricity? Aside from that, everything else was great: daily cleaning service, helpful staff, and overall a pleasant stay. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a perfect location to experience Seoul. If you're looking for a reasonable price, good location, this is for you. If you spend a lot of time in your hotel room, book somewhere else.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel with their daily breakfast buffet. Selected Korean porridge and soups are my go-to items.
