Hotel berhampiran Euljiro, Seoul

The hotel was located in the middle of Myeongdong just a few minutes from the main shopping street, with a bus and metro station only a 2 minute walk away. It’s also one of the more affordable options, making it both convenient & budget-friendly. It was the perfect base for exploring Seoul with ease. The rooms were clean & had all the necessary amenities. The receptionist was incredibly kind, very welcoming & helpful. He even made personalized stamps with our names for us to use during our stay, which was such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Near metro station walking distance but lift is only located at exit 10/9 of metro. Room amenities is amazing - a lot of storage, washing and drying, cooking and microwave available too. Bottled water provided everyday. Smart tv. Heated flooring available. Gym has alot of equipments. Airport bus available within walking distance. Downside is the lack of power point near bed for charging phone, and slightly small for 2 pax with luggage. But overall, a very good place to stay and will consider to come back again.

Комната номер три. Номер очень маленький, тесно даже одному. Если два человека будет невыносимо. Очень душно и высокая влажность Постоянно приходится открывать окно, иначе задохнешся. Найти отель очень сложно на доме нет ни какой вывески. Есть только надпись в глубине подъезда на бумаге, формата А4. Найти эту надпись очень непросто. Если бы я не прочитал отзывы я бы никогда не нашел этот гестхаус. 4 этаж, лифта нет. Подъезд грязный. Очень удачное расположение. Метро в 40 метрах. Автобус в Аэропорт 6001 через дорогу. Рядом много магазинов и закусочных, на любой вкус. Персонал готов всегда помочь. В том числе и дистанционно. Не всегда на месте.

Kami menginap di sini sebagai pasangan semasa percutian kami ke Seoul dan benar-benar menikmati keselesaan keseluruhannya. Bilik itu terasa direka bentuk dengan baik dan peribadi, menjadikannya mudah untuk berehat bersama selepas seharian yang panjang. Penebat bunyi adalah baik, jadi ia kekal tenang dan tenang pada waktu malam. Ia merupakan pilihan yang tepat untuk pasangan yang mencari tempat penginapan yang tenang dan selesa sambil meneroka bandar.

We had a very pleasant stay at Extay Lounge Hotel. The location was excellent—just two bus stops away from Myeongdong, making it very convenient to explore the area without being right in the middle of the crowds. There’s also a convenience store nearby, and several restaurants right downstairs, which made grabbing food quick and easy. The hotel lounge was a nice bonus and a comfortable place to relax. Our room was clean, and the bathroom was well-maintained. The space was also generous enough to comfortably accommodate four people, which can be hard to find in many city hotels. Overall, it was a convenient, comfortable stay, and we would definitely consider staying here again.

This place is well kept and the cleanliness is excellent. The capsule room can feel quite cramped as there can be up to 8 guests at once. Please note that there's no elevator so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs by yourself. Another thing worth noting is the capsule can get pretty hot at night as there's no ventilation inside. Other than that, the self check-in/out kiosk is very convenient and there's no need to contact any staff. There's a small breakfast corner with cereal, bread, milk, jam, and coffee so you can have your fill before heading out for the day. They bathroom is right inside the room so that's another perk. If I ever come to Seoul as a solo traveler again, I'd definitely come back!

The Designers Hotel Jongno A Christmas & New Year Story from an Aussie Traveler I arrived in Korea just before Christmas, trading Australia’s summer holiday season for the cold, glowing winter streets of Seoul. The moment I stepped into The Designers Hotel in Jongno, soft carols and small Christmas decorations welcomed me, making it clear that I would be spending the holidays somewhere completely new. Outside, Seoul shimmered with tiny trees in café windows, warm street lights, and a crisp winter breeze. As I planned where to spend the New Year’s countdown, I explored DDP’s dazzling lights and the lively Dongdaemun streets, but Bosingak kept calling to me. Its blend of history, year-end calmness, and lingering Christmas atmosphere made it feel like the perfect place to greet the new year. Back at the hotel, my plans unexpectedly changed. I had booked only one night, but the staff were so warm and kind—asking about my first Korean winter and even offering directions to Bosingak—that it felt like receiving small Christmas gifts. Their sincerity, especially during the busy holiday season, left a real impression. My room was cozy, quiet, and spotless, with crisp white linens that felt like part of the winter scenery. After walking through cold night streets filled with Christmas decorations, sinking into the warm bed felt comforting, almost like living here rather than traveling. The washing machines and dryers in the lobby were another huge bonus, especially with thick winter clothes piling up. Jongno itself added to the charm. Outside the hotel were winter streets filled with coffee aromas, traces of Christmas decorations, and easy access to Seosulla-gil, Hipjiro, and Bosingak. Walking to the bell pavilion through this seasonal atmosphere became one of my favorite parts of the trip. What was meant to be a one-night stay naturally extended into more. The kindness of the staff, the peaceful room, the winter mood of Jongno, and the chance to spend both Christmas and New Year in Korea made the hotel feel like the perfect base for the season. Overall: The Designers Hotel Jongno isn’t about luxury—it’s about warmth, comfort, and genuine hospitality. Between my first Korean Christmas and the ringing of Bosingak’s New Year bell, this hotel became a place where I made winter memories I’ll always remember.

location is great, it's in betweet multiple train lines that are easy to get to. it's near the airport bus stop as well so you dont have to drag your luggage up and down stairs or anything. there's a gs25 and yoajung on the first floor of the building which is very convenient! room itself is great, might be slightly small for two people but for solo travellers i think its perfect! room had a functioning stove and crockery for you to cook and a lot of storage space. if you want to check in early you have to contact the staff on the day itself and ask if there's availability. I did that and they said i have to pay 10k/hr extra which is fine with me, so I went to their office to pay. when I got there I could hear the staff saying in korean that there's a foreigner standing outside (probably saw the cctv) and none of them wanted to come take my payment until i emailed and asked if anyone was going to come. they probably thought i cant understand them but i could so....it doesn't bother me that much but just letting other people know! overall i would still stay here again in the future but i'll try to keep all communication via text instead so the staff won't have to speak to me lol

An excellent choice for travellers who prioritise a central and accessible location. Close to a bunch of subway lines, the downtown core, and the city’s historic palaces. The communal facilities are practical and well-maintained, offering convenient extras like a microwave, a coffee machine, and washing and drying machine. While the dormitories are simple, they are clean and well maintained. It is worth noting that the bunk beds are a standard design without privacy screens, but for those who don't mind a the property provides a reliable and comfortable stay in a great area.

The front desk people were accommodating and polite. They let me borrow an adapter so I can charge my gadgets. I was also given a room upgrade. The room was spacious and well-stocked, comes with fridge, robes, safety deposit box, toiletries (except for toothbrush and toothpaste), slippers, complimentary tea, instant coffee, and bottles of water. Daily make-up room is so thorough and provides fresh, clean towels and bedsheets. The location is walkable to both Jongno and Dongdaemun areas of interest. Coffee shops and convenience stores are everywhere.
