Location was very good, near exit 10 of MyeongDong station. However, there were protests outside the hotel everyday. There were also mosquitoes in the room. Killed 2 of them during my 5 night stay.

It's very close to the airport bus stop. You can see it after getting off the bus and walking back about 100 meters. The entrance is quite magnificent and there is an escalator to the hotel lobby. The hotel is a bit old and the humidity is not bad, but there are some The facilities are a bit old, and there are quite a few areas that need maintenance. The room itself is quite large (for Seoul). Toiletries, supplies, and 2 bottles of mineral water are provided in the room. The room I stayed in can directly see Seoul. The tower has a nice view, and the cleanliness is not bad, because we stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, but it was cleaned on the second day, and the room was not cleaned or the trash was picked up after that. The location of the hotel itself is very good. It is convenient to buy things, eat, and exchange foreign currency nearby. It is not far from Myeongdong. Putting aside some minor problems, I will still be willing to stay here.

5/5
Rounded up rating.The best thing about this hotel is the location. Behind the hotel, there are alleys and alleys of street food that comes alive at night, selling everything from baked cheese to blood sausage, besides many restaurant, snack shops, cosmetic, fashion and accessories. They are open until late on Saturday night, not sure about other nights. The hotel is accessible from behind (with access card) and regular access in front.Earlier in the morning (before ten) there are not many things around, but convenience shops and coffee are nearby. There is also an airport transport point just outside the hotel and subway entry. Twelve-story building of all Daiso is just opposite the street. It was the best Daiso I've gone to but it was too crowded because I think it was new.The room's size is okay and clean, with a balcony (that unfortunately looks a bit unkept), but the room itself is clean, aircon is cold, bathroom is clean with almost all amenities except toothbrush and toothpaste. It's actually quite weird, the 'green' part about this hotel is just the unavailability of these two.The fridge is way too small, though, it's very... shallow. It only has the depth of a small bottle. There is no way you can put your own beverage or medications if needed. There is a safe, a tiny fake bedside table. There is no wardrobe, just some hanger which can be a challenge to hang your stuff for longer stays. We stayed there for three nights and there is not enough place to hang our towels or clothes. The TV is weirdly positioned and there are not many channels available but it's fine.There is a secret way to reach the room, I still don't understand the logic actually. From lobby take the side elevator (not the main one) but the one near the toilet and go to level 4. From level 4 walk to level 6. There is probably only half a meter height difference through a ramp, but voila, now you have reach level 6, from there take another elevator to level 7 where we are. I guess that only works for certain clusters of rooms, maybe? This elevator also leads to back alley of the hotel for street food adventure.The breakfast is okay, but staff can be inattentive because for the whole hour we were there one day, they never refilled the hot water (which is only one small kettle to begin with). They also don't allow room slipper in the dining area. We only brought sneakers, so we thought it would be convenient to just put on the room's slipper for a quick grab (didn't use them in the room). After all, the slippers are the proper-looking kind, not those white flabby ones and there was no indication that we couldn't do it. Apparently we couldn't, so we had to navigate the weird level, waiting for multiple elevators to change them. Just put the instructions in the room to save time.There are sauna and gym facilities, we didn't check the sauna, but the gym was good and clean with decent number of equipment. They provide shoes as well if you don't bring a proper sport shoes.There are things to improve, but I will round it up to 5 stars because I had good stay there.

Close to Myeongdong Station, but closer to Chungmuro Station. When I tried to use the escalator at Myeong-dong Station, it was a bit far.When I checked in, I was told that my room had been upgraded, which made me happy, but the lights in the room were on and off, and unless I opened the curtains, the room was dark. The water area (sewage?) smells.There were no bath mats every day, and the front desk was not responsive. You speak like an amateur.After checking out, I asked for a jumbo taxi to Incheon Airport, but they said they didn't know the fare.The good thing was that the room was spacious and the refrigerator was large. When you get into a taxi on the go, you can say, ``Go to Sejong Hotel,'' and the taxi will recognize you right away. There is a coin laundry in the hotel, but the signage is only in Korean so I don't know how to use it.Labor union members protest in front of the hotel. On Friday, he used a microphone to sing.Next, I feel a little...
