Hotels in Jongno-gu - Seoul

Positiv:: The location, style, staff, cleanliness

Positiv:: Wonderful location for exploring on foot and located right next to the subway. I stayed there with me two teenage kids and they loved the area. Lots of fun.

Negativ:: The breakfast wasn’t great, but loads of alternatives within a few minutes.

Positiv:: Very close to the metro station

Negativ:: The room we were in was quite old looking, reception hours are limited, be aware that they’ll charge you a deposit. Not just a holding deposit they will charge it off your card and then return it to you within 5-10 days after check out. Incredibly unimpressed by this. I would highly recommend reading the room guidelines as they’ll charge you for taking pens, toiletries anything basically (wasn’t a problem for us but definitely good to know about). We didn’t believe this was good value for money at all.

Positiv:: Good location, nice staff

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal an der Rezeption (durchweg tolle Empfehlungen für Restaurants, Bars etc. und gute Wegbeschreibungen). Schöne Einrichtung mit viel Liebe zum Detail.

Negativ:: Es hätte ein Bügeleisen geben können. Ansonsten alles super!

Positiv:: Location was great. Practically just next to the Exit 4 of Jongno-3 ga station. Further in from the little lane opposite the hotel leads to many restaurants and small shops. It's a nice neighborhood!

Negativ:: I requested for a king bed but when I lay in the middle of the bed, I can immediately feel the "centre" of the bed - its actually 2 beds placed together. Will be better if the mattress can be thicker.

Positiv:: Ethan and Sally on the front desk were particularly helpful and really helped us to get around. Thanks so much.

Positiv:: Style im Hotel und die Lage an sich.

Negativ:: Leider derzeit Baustelle direkt vor dem Hotel und daher ziemlich laut. Für business nicht ideal.. keine Möglichkeiten, Kleidung ordentlich zu verstauen.

Positiv:: Staff was very friendly, it is walking distance to many places. Room was nice, not very big, but nice and clean.

Negativ:: Couldnt figure out AC and was very noisy.

Positiv:: the makers hotel was our first stop from our 3 weeks south korea trip an provides us a great start. the staff is really nice, helpful and speaks english. it was easy to reach with the subway from the incheon airport. there is a subyway exit in front of the hotel. you will find a lot of restaurants, bars an grocery stores in really short walking distancesy. also historian attractions like the gjeongbokgung palace or the hanok village are easy to reach by foot. it was so good that we revisited at the end of our journey.

Positiv:: Loved staying at Makers Hotel. Locale was brilliant. So central and right next to the subway. Many great laneways and eating places all around. Staff were so very friendly and helpful. Rooms, though small, were clean, well serviced and very practical. Personal service, unlike the big hotels.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: good value, good location, clean place, friendly staff

Negativ:: breakfast (meal and room)

Positiv:: This is our second stay here and We loved Everything yet again, the staff were amazing, we had a busy schedule so we couldn’t use all of the facilities, next time I hope to go to the pool , the room service was great the restaurants within the hotel were Fantastic! So much variety for breakfast lunch and dinner

Negativ:: Loveeed everything

Positiv:: Great location, nice staff!

Positiv:: I love the bed and the shower, bathtub!

Negativ:: It would have been nice to have a bidet.

Positiv:: Location

Negativ:: No sign of help from the entrance. No bell boy to help for luggage out of taxi. No help for the luggage to reception. Absolute waste of money for the club.

Positiv:: It was my second time staying at this hotel because the staff had been so nice the first time. Well, it hasn't changed, everyone was so professional, nice and attentive that it was a pleasure to be back. The Executive lounge is a nice and quiet escape from the city to catch up on work while having a glass of wine. Breakfast was excellent. It is very convenient that the stop for airport bus 6702 is just in front of the hotel.

Positiv:: Good service. Kudos to the housekeeping of level 9. And Kelly from Tavolo24 for every cup of beverage.

Negativ:: Curt service from a staff at the executive lounge.

Negativ:: A bit too much dust in the room as if it hadn't been occupied in a while. This is me trying to find a fault for the price.

Positiv:: Location and staff friendliness.

Positiv:: Clean Nice staff very clean Good location

Negativ:: Cheaper room rate Cheaper restaurant price

Positiv:: Great Hotel. Excellent staff. Excellent Service. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, i hope to visit seoul again. once i lost my city map that i have all my notes on it, and the staff look for it until they find it.

Negativ:: nothing i can remember bad at this hotel

Positiv:: Location

Negativ:: Service was good. Not great.

Positiv:: Simple but comfortable accommodation. English speeking stuff. Coffee machine and laundry machine is available. Subway and small shops with basic food nearby.

Positiv:: Free laundry & good location

Negativ:: Bed too hard, bathroom too small

Negativ:: From Incheon int'l airport to the property by airport bus to get there to finding the property was little tricky. I wish they have physical map&directions on the hotelsite to print out for some customers whom might have difficulty for roaming service!

Positiv:: The hotel smells good, like bubblegum. The hotel staff were nice and polite.

Negativ:: The hotel room is too small. It suits 1 or 2 travelers with small luggage. It charged me 23,000 won more than the agreed booking price. I realized it only when I returned to my country.

Positiv:: Clean, modern, big bed and staff kindness

Negativ:: The bed was a bit hard

Positiv:: The hotel was very easy to get to. After taking the subway to Dongmyo get out of exit 4 and it was only a block away! The room was a nice size and I didn't feel cramped. The bed was soft and comfortable. The staff spoke English and were very helpful.

Negativ:: Everything was fine.

Positiv:: The location is nearby subway station and bus stops. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Staff is helpful and friendly and room is well equipped. Will definitely stay back if revisits Seoul.

Negativ:: The room is a bit small, but not too bad.

Positiv:: Very helpful staff. I messaged them around 1 am asking for help to get there from incheon airport and the replies were very fast and helpful :)

Negativ:: None

Positiv:: Met expectations overall.

Negativ:: There’s a smell like someone smoking cigarettes.

Positiv:: Sehr guter Service und vielfältiges Frühstück.

Positiv:: Location was so nice

Positiv:: Frühstück hatte ich nicht gebucht, es gibt jede Menge Cafes etc in der Nähe für jeden Geschmack und viel günstiger als im Hotel. Die Betten waren prima. Die Zimmer waren etwas kleiner als ich mir das vorgestellt hatte. Aber gemessen an der zentralen Lage in der Metropole ist das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis immer noch prima. In München in zentraler Lage bekommt man zu dem Preis kein vergleichbares Zimmer

Negativ:: Alles in Anthrazit- depressing.

Positiv:: They were efficient and correct.

Negativ:: To impersonal

Positiv:: Excellent location. Great in room amenities. Clean and new building. Very polite and service minded staff (except for some who maybe due to their English or Korean culture may come off a bit rude, most are very helpful). The one whom checked us in made sure to ask if we prefer near lift, with bathtub room? The other one helped us booked nearby restaurants. These staff exceed our expectations and we were impressed.

Negativ:: Room temperature cannot be adjusted below 24c and i woke up from being too hot, sweating mad every night of my 4 nights stay. Towels are quite old and some we got in our room should not be used anymore. Our last night room make up we got a partly ripped duvet cover which again should be noticed and fixed. Shower is also hard to use without splashing the floor everywhere.

Positiv:: Rooms were amazingly clean and comfortable

Negativ:: That there is no room service.

Positiv:: Location was good. It is located near by a subway station.

Negativ:: The room was very hot. The bathroom didnt seem to be perfectly ready for new guests. We booked for 2 adults but only 1 tooth brush was there. A toilet paper was not properly folded.

Positiv:: Clean and perfect location

Negativ:: Breakfast location. I have never seen a small place and packed people in the hotel at breakfast.

Positiv:: Location was good. There are a few metro stations within walking distance. The room itself has a minimalist modern design which was nice and the bed was comfortable as well.

Negativ:: Having a summer blanket would have been nice. It got a little warm at night

Positiv:: The location was decent. Room was clean.

Negativ:: The entire hotel is set to a fixed temperature, so if it's too hot or too cold, good luck. In this massive heat wave, they have it set to 25degC which indoors means 27/28/29? You can't adjust the thermostat in the room, so it's pretty much moot, and you can forget about a quick cool down from the outside heat... when I approached the front desk, they offered me a fan so I suspect this isn't a rare occurrence. Sent my clothes to laundry which I had to walk down to the front desk on my own, and go through the checklist and items right there and then. When I returned, I find out that they decided to dry clean my clothes that didn't require it and charged me more without consulting me. Like it or not, I had to pay, and there was no top up of the laundry bag or checklist for tomorrow's laundry run. Next day, I had walk my clothes down again, no bag, no list to check, and was asked why I didn't bring it down in a rather impolite manner. When I told them it wasn't replenished, there was no acknowledgement or apology for the initial "accusatory" tone. Unfortunately, an extremely disappointing experience.

Positiv:: Location and cleanliness,and excellent staff services. For example helped I phone charges.

Negativ:: None

Positiv:: Great location - ten minute walk from the two major palaces, ideal as a base in the city.

Negativ:: It is clear that the room needs a refresh (e.g. stains on the carpet), but overall good value for money if you are looking to spend the majority of your time exploring the city.

Positiv:: location is great and easy access with public transportation. highly recommended

Negativ:: NO too much dislike

Positiv:: This was a very nice hotel, centrally located, friendly staff and everything you could need in a hotel. We had two rooms for the family and they located them close together. Super for family stay in Seoul.. which we all loved!

Negativ:: Nothing!

Positiv:: Central location to some attractions and street food market

Negativ:: Shortages of toiletries, breakfast

Positiv:: The shower floor was broken on the edges and hastily patched up with tape. The toilet smelled of urine when we arrived - it was not cleaned properly. The distance from our window to the next building was barely 7 feet and we had no privacy - the next building window stared at us. We had to keep our curtains shut. The room was quite small compared to the pictures on the bookings website. For 150$ it was not worth the one night we spent there. The staff were nice and the location was good. The breakfast was OK. There was no brown bread - all the bread and bagels were white. The banana was cut into pieces and looked old and spoiled.

Negativ:: See above

Positiv:: Top kann das Hotel nur weiterempfehlen vor allem Bus vor der Tür zum und vom Flughafen.

Negativ:: Any staff isn't very friendly

Positiv:: I felt welcomed and taken well care of. It’s very close to the subway and to the main shopping street in Myeongsong. Insadong and Bukchon Hanbok Village is also very close nearby and it’s located almost right next to Jogyesa temple. The roomservice cleaning was excellent and the room had everything I needed. Would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back another time.

Negativ:: This is just a personal preference, but the bed was a little too hard for me. Nothing too bad, but worth noting if you have a bad back or something like that. The walls could use a dash of new paint and the safe was covered in dust upon arriving, but nothing that affected my overall stay at this otherwise lovely hotel!

Positiv:: Location was excellent. Airport bus right outside the hotel.

Negativ:: Long lines for breakfast.

Positiv:: Perfekte Lage. Mehrere Metro Linien und einige Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. In unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es viele Restaurants und Lokale. Direkt vor dem Hotel bleibt ein Flughafen Bus stehen. Das Zimmer war groß und sauber. Personal war freundlich und konnte gut Englisch.

Positiv:: location great, staff very friendly and helpful. would stay here again

Negativ:: that there was no in house restaurant/bar

Positiv:: My husband and I are travelling around South Korea for our honeymoon - Seoul was our first stop. We needed somewhere central, and not luxury for our first few days as we were travelling around. We are pleasantly surprised by the quality of this reasonably priced hotel. The property was clean and modern enough, white bed linen and neutral decor. It was in a great location which is why we chose it, the price was very reasonable. Walking distance to so many areas of interest. The staff were helpful, this was a bonus. The cleaners were keen and so lovely, they made up our room every day no matter the time we left for them to enter. The bed sheets were changed every 2 days. Bins emptied every day and fresh towels and toiletries given every day. Coffee sachets and cups supplied as well as a kettle. Fresh water put in the fridge daily. It really was ideal. There's a 711 store on the corner of the building and a cafe on site. There's also a coin laundry so we got to do a little wash and dry for like 2000 wan.

Negativ:: If I was to clutch at straws, the lifts were always busy. But that's my only slight complaint, if even a complaint - maybe they're so busy as the hotel is popular!
