Saekkul Vacation Packages

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.

Great location! Staff were accommodating when we asked if we could check in earlier (2pm instead of 3pm). They were also happy to look after our luggage when I arrived early. The room wasn’t big but had everything we needed. The only con is that the shower isn’t separated so the whole room gets wet (which I know is the norm in Korea) Other than that, I would return again in the future :)

Standard family room is too small and mattress too soft.

The room is small but the location is very convenient.

Excellent location
