Unaksan Mountain Natural Recreation Forest Tours and Activities

Loved our 4 days stay here. Clean room with a nice little window overlooking the cathedral church. Perfect location and free portable charger for you to take with you when you go out. I highly recommend this place for those visiting Seoul for the first time, just like us! Everything we needed was walking distance. Loved our stay and chatting with other travelers during breakfast!

Sejong Hotel is very conveniently located in Myeongdong, which was probably the best part of our stay. It is easy to get around Seoul from here, and there are plenty of restaurants, shops and other things nearby. The hotel itself, however, feels quite old and dated. The rooms and common areas could use a significant refresh, and at least one of the elevators was not working during our stay. Breakfast was also not included with our booking. Check-in is largely self-service using a computer, although the staff we interacted with were helpful and pleasant when we needed them. There were also ongoing labor protests outside the hotel during our stay relating to former hotel workers. I don’t know enough about the dispute to comment on the underlying issues, but as a guest the protests were noticeable and a little uncomfortable. Overall, the location is excellent, but the hotel is showing its age. It probably was a very nice hotel in its day, but today I think there are likely better and more modern options around Myeongdong. I would choose it primarily for the location rather than the hotel experience itself.

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.
