Mongdae Holidays from AU$837

Clean and comfortable but not many staff to assist

Sejong Hotel has lots to improve. 1) We stayed at a bigger twin room facing Namsan Tower. But what we didn't know is that it's also facing the road hence the traffic can be very noisy. Not for light sleepers. 2) There are daily worker strikes at the lobby and the entrance of hotel. The workers feel their dismissal during Covid was unfair hence they have been on strike to have their jobs back since then. I have to salute on their perseverance but aesthetically, not something you'd like to be welcomed every day. They start their campaign early morning and again, not for the light sleepers. 3) The hotel is located near the airport limo but as we had many times stayed in hotel located within Myeongdong shopping, we find the location a bit of a walk, especially after a day of sightseeing and shopping so choose what's important to you. 4) Room is big and dated. Expect some mold in bathroom. Bed and pillow too soft for comfort and gave us neck and back ache. You can open the window for ventilation but we called for help to do that as we're afraid the window might drop 11 storeys down. Housekeeping not entirely clean. Overall, Sejong Hotel is more like a big overpriced guesthouse. They might do better if they had employed more people.

Room was very spacious, self check in was great but there is staff around to assist if needed.

Large room with a great view of Seoul Tower. The room was very clean, staff were helpful, and amenities were perfect. The hotel is in a great location too with easy access to Myongdong

Second time I've been there, and I can tell you, definitely a good place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff, good size, good price, and good location, for people who's first time visiting Seoul myeong-dong is ideal
