This hotel is located in the center of Jongno, providing easy access to major tourist attractions and business districts.

I had to switch rooms twice due to issues—a cramped layout in the first (bathtub next to the bed and a narrow bathroom), a leaking bathtub in the second, and in the third, a hard bed, intrusive light from another room, no city view as advertised, and a door that wouldn’t close properly. The front desk representative (man with glasses) was professional and explained it was the last available room, but overall, the experience didn’t meet expectations.

Solid stay!

The rooms are all unique and quite special. We had a couple of small issues with the bathtub but the staff were very helpful, we were even offered a different room but chose to stay when their other sollutions worked. The hotel is extremely central to both Myeongdong, Jongno Shrine, and many other places. A good place to stay in Seoul. Bed was quite firm but we got used to it.

I visited Seoul this time and chose the The Designers hotel in Jungno, and my overall experience was very satisfying! The hotel's location is very convenient, right near the metro station, with easy access to Jingfu Palace, Insadong, and Myeongdong, making transportation incredibly convenient. Although the room isn't particularly large, it exudes a strong sense of design, is clean and tidy, and the bed is also very comfortable. The bathroom has good water pressure, and bathing is very comfortable. The room offers coffee, tea, and mineral water, with thoughtful details. The front desk staff are very friendly, knowing both simple Chinese and English, communicating without any issues, and they even proactively helped me check the subway lines. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, making it easy to go out and eat in the evening. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money, has a fashionable design, and is well-located. I would definitely choose it again when I visit Seoul next time! I highly recommend this to friends visiting Korea for the first time.

For my trip to central Seoul, I chose Hotel The Designers Jongno, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from Jongno 3-ga Station, making transportation incredibly convenient. Upon arrival, the front desk staff greeted me warmly and provided clear and attentive guidance during check-in, setting a positive tone for the entire stay. The rooms reflect the unique and stylish design concept of the hotel. The soft lighting and thoughtful decor created a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a full day of sightseeing. The bedding was comfortable and spotless, and essential amenities such as a mini-fridge, electric kettle, and hairdryer were all thoughtfully provided. A notable feature is the laundry room on the first floor, which is very convenient for long stays or unexpected laundry needs. The hotel also has a convenience store where guests can purchase snacks and drinks, including beer, making it easy to enjoy refreshments without leaving the building. The hotel’s location is ideal for exploring on foot. Cheonggyecheon Stream is just a short walk away, offering a peaceful stroll by day and a beautifully illuminated path by night. The Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, Insa-dong, and the vibrant Gwangjang Market are all nearby, allowing visitors to experience the charm of Seoul effortlessly. Additionally, Namsan Observatory and Itaewon are easily accessible via public transportation, making it convenient to combine city center sigh

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Jongno! 🌟 My stay at The Designers Jongno was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. From the moment I walked into the stylish lobby, I could feel that this hotel pays great attention to both design and comfort. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help — they made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another visitor. The room was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully decorated, with unique design touches that made it feel special and personal. Every detail, from the lighting to the textures of the furniture, showed that real care went into creating a relaxing atmosphere. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, and after a long day exploring Jongno, it truly felt like coming home. What impressed me most was the staff’s professionalism and kindness. They were always smiling, quick to assist, and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do — it made all the difference. Whether it was providing local recommendations, arranging transportation, or just checking in to make sure I was comfortable, their service went far beyond expectations. The location couldn’t be more perfect — right in the heart of Jongno, surrounded by amazing restaurants, cafes, and cultural landmarks. I could easily walk to Insadong, Gwanghwamun, and Bukchon Hanok Village. It’s the perfect spot for both travelers wanting to explore the traditional side of Seoul and those looking for a trendy, modern stay.

I came to Korea with my husband to visit his family, and toward the end of our trip he had a medical appointment at Seoul National University Hospital. Because of that, we looked for a hotel that would make the hospital visit easy, and we decided to stay at Designers Hotel Jongno. It ended up being a much better stay than I expected. The room was clean, comfortable, and practical. Nothing fancy, but everything felt well-maintained. The bed linens were fresh, the bathroom was very clean, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent, which was honestly one of my favorite parts after long days outside. The room also felt bright and had a good layout, which made it easy to unpack and settle in. There was a safe in the room, which made keeping my passport and valuables secure really simple. I also appreciated the small desk area, which was convenient when I needed to sort through travel documents. The hotel provides bicycles for rent, so one morning I took a quick ride around the neighborhood. Jongno is easy to explore, and walking along the nearby Cheonggyecheon stream was really refreshing. The area felt lively but not crowded. We had a car with us during our stay, and parking was very convenient, which made exploring the city without worrying about finding a spot much easier. The first-floor lobby had a few practical features that made our stay easier— a currency exchange booth, which saved us an extra trip outside, and a laundry room, which came in handy since we we

Hotel The Designers Jongno – A Refined Stay with Comfort and Culinary Delights My recent trip to Seoul was mainly for LASIK surgery at Seoul National University Hospital 👀. Since I needed a comfortable place to recover, I chose Hotel The Designers Jongno, and it turned out to be the perfect choice ✨. Located in the heart of Jongno, the hotel offers excellent accessibility. It’s within walking distance of Seoul National University Hospital, Bukchon Hanok Village, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Insadong. There are also plenty of cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby, making the stay incredibly convenient. The room design is modern and stylish, with plenty of natural light creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The bed was soft and clean, perfect for resting after surgery. The bathroom was spotless, with a great shower and stable hot water supply. There’s also a small workspace and fast Wi-Fi, which made it easy to work or relax 💻. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. When my schedule suddenly changed due to the surgery, they kindly assisted with rescheduling and transportation arrangements. Their warm smiles and thoughtful service made me feel completely at home ❤️. The lobby area was elegant and spacious, with a comfortable seating zone perfect for a short break or coffee. Security systems and facilities were well-maintained, so I felt safe throughout my stay. The surrounding area is also full of culinary delights. From traditional Korean restauran

I stayed one night at Hotel The Designers Jongno during my trip to Seoul, and it was a wonderful experience. The front desk staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming from check-in, explaining everything clearly and making me feel truly cared for — it really set a positive tone for my stay. The location was perfect for sightseeing — Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, Insadong, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Cheonggyecheon Stream were all within walking distance. It was so convenient to explore the area without needing transportation, and there were plenty of great restaurants and cafes nearby as well. Parking was available for an additional fee, which was convenient since I had my car. There were also light snacks and simple meals available late at night, which was great when I didn’t feel like going out. When I had trouble ordering delivery, a staff member kindly helped me — I really appreciated their thoughtfulness and excellent service. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with a spotless bathroom and a shared microwave on each floor for heating food or drinks. I especially liked that the hotel had laundry and drying machines available. Since it rained during my stay, being able to wash and dry my clothes made everything feel so much fresher and more comfortable. ☔💛 Overall, I had an excellent stay. The combination of great location, cleanliness, and warm hospitality made it feel like a home away from home. I’d love to stay here again!

### 🌿 Review: The Designers Hotel Jongno — Clean, Cozy, and Perfectly Located I recently visited Seoul from Australia, and staying at **The Designers Hotel Jongno** was honestly one of the best decisions I made on this trip. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was special. The lobby isn’t huge, but it’s stylish and gives off a calm, boutique vibe. The staff at the front desk were friendly and welcoming, which made check-in super easy — a great start after a long flight. But what really stood out to me was **how clean everything was**. The bed linens were spotless, the towels were fresh and fluffy, and the whole room just felt well cared for. Later I found out the hotel had **recently replaced all their towels**, which totally explained why everything smelled so clean and felt brand new. As a traveler, cleanliness is a big deal for me, and this place exceeded my expectations. Another thing I didn’t expect — and really appreciated — was that there’s a **washing machine and dryer available in the lobby**. It might sound like a small detail, but it’s a total lifesaver when you’ve been traveling for a while. Being able to do laundry on-site made my stay so much more comfortable and convenient. The **location** is also unbeatable. The hotel is just a short walk from **Seosulla-gil** and **Hipjiro**, two of the most popular spots in Seoul right now. During the day, I loved strolling through Seosulla-gil, grabbing coffee at one of its many aesthetic cafés

During my trip to Seoul, I stayed at Jongno Designers Hotel for a few days, and it exceeded my expectations. Located in the heart of Jongno, the hotel lets you enjoy the perfect mix of tradition and modernity. The location is excellent. Gwangjang Market, Cheonggyecheon Stream, Myeongdong, Insadong, and Bosingak are within walking distance or a short ride. I enjoyed shopping in Myeongdong, tried local foods like bindaetteok, yukhoe, and “kkwabaegi” at Gwangjang Market, and took relaxing walks along Cheonggyecheon and Insadong. Transportation is very convenient. Subway and bus stops are nearby, so taxis were rarely needed. Being in the city center, there is plenty to see and do without visiting major tourist spots. The hotel interior is stylish and cozy. The “Designers” concept is evident throughout. I was pleasantly surprised that the first floor sells snacks and drinks. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the electric heating pad kept me warm. The multi-outlet compatible with various plugs made charging easy. The staff were friendly and helpful. They greeted me with a smile, communicated well in English, and gave tips about local restaurants and attractions. The hotel also provides bike rental and free washer/dryer. Overall, Jongno Designers Hotel excels in location, cleanliness, service, amenities, and attention to detail. The calm atmosphere and comfortable space made my stay memorable. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.
