Hotéis em Jongno-gu, Seul

Prós: The location, style, staff, cleanliness

Prós: The staff was PHENOMENAL. Our luggage was lost on the flight over and the man at the front desk, Mike, helped us through the whole process, even being the middle man with the airport as we didn't speak Korean. Also, our rooms were always well cleaned and the entire hotel was just ADORABLE. A++ location, right by the subway and walking distance to many popular destinations. Also an amazing array of shops and restaurants right across the street. Plus free wifi in every room and an attached coffee shop downstairs. What more could you ask for? Will definitely stay again.

Contras: Our only complaint was that the beds were too firm, but even that was just personal preference. So in all reality, no negatives from us.

Prós: 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.

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

Prós: Very close to the metro station

Contras: 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.

Prós: Good location, nice staff

Contras: Nothing

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

Contras: Couldnt figure out AC and was very noisy.

Prós: Excellent location

Contras: Bed not the most comfortable

Prós: 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.

Prós: 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.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: My fiance and I travel to Korea every year and we love to explore different parts of Seoul. Makers Hotel is the perfect location. It is located right next to the metro and it is also right across a little flea market (Ikseon dong) that has food, coffee, beer, and little shops. It was perfect for a weekend getaway, we loved it! In addition, the room was quaint and the staff is extremely friendly. I highly recommend Makers Hotel.

Contras: The bed was a little stiff for my back, but everything else as great!

Prós: The location of this hotel is amazing. You are literally steps from a metro exit and the three lines going through that stop are really good ones to travel on. Apart from the metro, the hotel is also across the street from a really cute neighborhood called Ikseondong. We loved walking through this area each night after dinner because the shops were unique and the restaurants were lively. I really loved this hotel and the location was perfect for a trip to explore Seoul.

Contras: The room is small, so there is not much space if you have large luggage or just like to spread out more. I did not have an issue with the bed but be warned that in our room it was a mattress on the floor basically. It was comfortable in my opinion but if you have mobility issues, it might be a little tough getting in and out of it.

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

Contras: breakfast (meal and room)

Prós: Very friendly staff, roomy apartment. Airport Limousine Bus stops right in front of the building. Loved the rooftop terrace for sundowner. Location is perfect for people going to Seoul National University Hospital, otherwise 10 minutes walk to more interesting Areals.

Contras: Small window makes the apartment a bit dark. Could do with a little bit of maintenance, e.g. cracked flowerpot on the rooftop, walls in need of fresh painting.

Prós: Friendly front desk staff. Man helped with our luggage. Very pretty room. Decorations and style were my taste. Looks nicer in person than in photos. I will come again. I stayed in two level room. If my friends are coming to Korea this is a good place to stay. Good location and not too far from shopping places.

Contras: No water provided.

Prós: We loved this place! Staff are so friendly, bus stop is nearby, subway station & main road are just 10 min walk. We enjoyed how the atmosphere changed as we got close to main road. Liked the night market and the huge historical palace in walking distance.

Contras: Not much bothered us

Prós: Getting accommodation for four many times requires booking two rooms in each of the hotels we stayed at during our recent trip to Korea. The night we spent at Seoul Loft Apartments with the Duplex Suite, with two queen beds was perfect for us. Comfortable beds and water pressure in the shower was good and hot. I cannot find anything to complain about. This is the first time that I found myself in this position that I wanted to send the family out so I could relax at the hotel or in this case the apartment. In writing reviews I try my best to make my comments fair for both the good and bad. I will definitely be going back. So to summarize; great accommodation (very clean), very happy with location with friendly and professional staff, ten out of ten from me and my family.

Contras: That I could not have stayed a bit longer. Shame we only found this place at the end of our trip.

Prós: We celebrating our second wedding anniversary in Seoul. The very first Korean we spoken to was SLA staff, our first impression about Korea was wonderful.! First, very friendly, nice and beautiful soul. Though it was a short stay at here we wished we could stay longer. Nice and clean room, good location, airport bus is near. Everything was wonderful... Thank you. Our anniversary was special stayed with you.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Had a great stay here with my family. Kids loved the big two level apartment. The first impression when we entered was WOOOOOW!. Really did not expect such a big place. Great location for us, easy to get around and staff were always available to call us a cab and help with all our stuff. Thank you for you help.

Contras: There were missing a helicopter pad. I really need that when I travel.

Prós: Very close to main tourist attractions. Direct buses are the best option. The building was clean and my room was fantastic I loved it. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Subway station is within walking distance.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The location is quite good as it's near historic neighborhoods and the palaces, plus dynamic retail/restaurant districts and several subway lines. My room is designed as extremely quiet studio apartment, including a full kitchen, with basic appliances, and a clothes washing machine. A great place for short or long stay. I appreciate the monochrome, contemporary aesthetic and the kindness of the staff. I recommend it for anyone seeking a unique hotel experience in Seoul.

Contras: Would love more natural light, but it's a minor concern given the overall quality of the space and true quiet in the room at this busy locale.

Prós: Very clean, spacious and the staffs are super helpful and very nice.

Contras: 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.

Contras: None

Prós: The property is very near to the station.Just a minute walk and its very private.The staffs were very helpful and can communicate in English very well.The room is clean and you can do laundry here for free.

Contras: The walls were thin,I could here some noises from other guests which I think is from the hallways.Need to go the 13th floor to iron clothes.

Prós: The view from our room was amazing. Our stay was comfortable and pleasant. The hotel is located in a rather strategic postion, near to 2 different line metro station. This allows to reach the most important interesting spots in seoul rapidly

Contras: Nothing in particular, we enjoyed our stay. At the front desk the english is not fluent but sufficent to be understood. It is better if you know some chinese at least. They may not accept european debit card, we paid with a chinese one.

Prós: this hotel is my home on korea I love the location

Contras: no swimming pool

Prós: Hotel was right in the heart of Seoul,easy access to all tourist sights, buses were great as was metro . Get a Tmoney card makes getting around so easy

Contras: Arrived 11:00 we were soaking wet having been caught in a very heavy downpour, the man on reception was very short with us, told us in no uncertain terms that we could not book in until 15:00. He made us pay the full price right away, took our passports, booked us in and the made us wait 4 hours in the reception area, soaking wet, our cloths were soaked in our cases, we could not go out as it continued to pour down with rain, plus at this time we had been travelling for over 20 hours. We were not even offered a drink of water. Just studiously ignored for 4 hours while we waited in the hotel lobby. At no time did we ask for early access to our room, nevertheless the hotel receptionist who booked us in, behaved in a way we have never encountered, any where in the world, and we are very well travelled. He has no idea of the “Customer first concept”. I did take this matter up with him directly the next day, when I had calmed down, he was contrite when I made some points to him about his treatment of us and the upset he had caused. He did apologise, when he rang a friend to translate my views to him. As he tried to say he did not fully understand english. Even when he accepted he had behave very badly towards us, he never offered us anything tangible, by way of recompense. As a Front of house employee, this man is clearly in the wrong job. What I have written here, I relayed to him face to face. It is true to say that a girl on duty in reception on our arrival, did offer to let us have our room at 14:30, I refused this offer, In light of the way we had been treated, childish I know, but by this time having, sat in reception for 3hours 30minutes, totally ignored and soaked, I did not feel much disposed to anything reception had to offer. Welcome to S. Korea

Contras: TERRIBLE STAFF Poor breakfast

Prós: Very spacious room. It was triple sharing and we didn’t feel cramped. Bed was really comfortable. It was really good value for the quality of the hotel room.

Contras: It wasn’t really that close to any subway station. But there are a lot of bus stations on all corners.

Prós: Excellent location, close to many sights, especially to Jongmyo Shrine and Gwangjang Market. There are many buses and metro lines around to take you to the other places of interest in Seoul. The hotel is nice, rooms are quite spacious and clean. Breakfast is quite OK, but nothing special. Wifi is excellent.

Prós: Location

Contras: Service, the staff, smell

Prós: Very Good location, within 5 min walk two metro stations with 3 metro lines

Contras: Well...room need renovation, a mildew in The bathroom. First Time I didnt wet A lunch box because I had to to out early, before breakfast was starting

Contras: The hotel is old and not well maintained: the shower in specific was not clean at all. There was mold growing on the shower curtain and at the corners of the bathtub.

Prós: This hotel was perfect for me and my family to stay! There was enough space for three people and suitcases , and the room and bathroom were very clean. It's also close to a lot of Seoul's traditional sites which we enjoyed.

Prós: Good variety at the breakfast. The windows/walls are well insulated - I was there during a typhoon and didn't hear the wind or the rain! Convenient to the subway (there's an entrance only 2 blocks away) as well as being within walking distance of Jongmo Shrine and Changdeokgung Palace.
