Solid stay!

The rooms are all unique and quite special. We had a couple of small issues with the bathtub but the staff were very helpful, we were even offered a different room but chose to stay when their other sollutions worked. The hotel is extremely central to both Myeongdong, Jongno Shrine, and many other places. A good place to stay in Seoul. Bed was quite firm but we got used to it.

I had to switch rooms twice due to issues—a cramped layout in the first (bathtub next to the bed and a narrow bathroom), a leaking bathtub in the second, and in the third, a hard bed, intrusive light from another room, no city view as advertised, and a door that wouldn’t close properly. The front desk representative (man with glasses) was professional and explained it was the last available room, but overall, the experience didn’t meet expectations.

I visited Seoul this time and chose the The Designers hotel in Jungno, and my overall experience was very satisfying! The hotel's location is very convenient, right near the metro station, with easy access to Jingfu Palace, Insadong, and Myeongdong, making transportation incredibly convenient. Although the room isn't particularly large, it exudes a strong sense of design, is clean and tidy, and the bed is also very comfortable. The bathroom has good water pressure, and bathing is very comfortable. The room offers coffee, tea, and mineral water, with thoughtful details. The front desk staff are very friendly, knowing both simple Chinese and English, communicating without any issues, and they even proactively helped me check the subway lines. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, making it easy to go out and eat in the evening. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money, has a fashionable design, and is well-located. I would definitely choose it again when I visit Seoul next time! I highly recommend this to friends visiting Korea for the first time.

Family Trip to Seoul – Grand Family Room Review The Designers Hotel Jongno When you travel to Seoul with family from Australia, the biggest challenge isn’t the flight — it’s the sleeping arrangement. Six adults. Different sleep habits. Parents who value quiet rest. Younger ones who still have energy at midnight. We were honestly worried. That’s why we chose the Grand Family Room at The Designers Hotel Jongno. The moment we walked in, my parents paused for a second. My mum’s first words were, “Oh… this is actually very nice.” And that says a lot. The beds were already neatly aligned, with crisp white linens and plenty of pillows. Everything looked clean, bright, and properly prepared — not like a room where extra beds were just squeezed in. My dad immediately walked to the wall side bed, pressed the mattress with his hand, and nodded. “Good support,” he said. Approval granted. What surprised us most was how comfortable the layout felt. Even though we were six people in one room, it didn’t feel chaotic. There was enough space to move around. Luggage didn’t block the walkway. The low center table became our little gathering spot — we placed snacks we bought in Jongno, plugged in our phones, and just sat around talking about the day. For my parents, comfort is everything when traveling. They’re sensitive to noise and cleanliness. That night, before turning off the lights, my mum said, “I’m glad we didn’t book two separate rooms. This feels warmer.” She was right

For my trip to central Seoul, I chose Hotel The Designers Jongno, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from Jongno 3-ga Station, making transportation incredibly convenient. Upon arrival, the front desk staff greeted me warmly and provided clear and attentive guidance during check-in, setting a positive tone for the entire stay. The rooms reflect the unique and stylish design concept of the hotel. The soft lighting and thoughtful decor created a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a full day of sightseeing. The bedding was comfortable and spotless, and essential amenities such as a mini-fridge, electric kettle, and hairdryer were all thoughtfully provided. A notable feature is the laundry room on the first floor, which is very convenient for long stays or unexpected laundry needs. The hotel also has a convenience store where guests can purchase snacks and drinks, including beer, making it easy to enjoy refreshments without leaving the building. The hotel’s location is ideal for exploring on foot. Cheonggyecheon Stream is just a short walk away, offering a peaceful stroll by day and a beautifully illuminated path by night. The Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, Insa-dong, and the vibrant Gwangjang Market are all nearby, allowing visitors to experience the charm of Seoul effortlessly. Additionally, Namsan Observatory and Itaewon are easily accessible via public transportation, making it convenient to combine city center sigh

Luxury on a budget, would stay again.

Budget friendly hotel, the aesthetic of the hotel and rooms are very nice. We booked Suite and figured to have spa bath in the middle of the room but we were unfortunate to get one of the only suites without and it was also really not our style. (The green suite with pictures and frames all over the walls) fortunately the hotel accomodated us really nicely morning after and let us change to another suite that was almost top floor. All in all a good stay and for the price we paid you do get alot. Just keep in mind that the reality is a bit different from advertised pictures.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Jongno! 🌟 My stay at The Designers Jongno was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. From the moment I walked into the stylish lobby, I could feel that this hotel pays great attention to both design and comfort. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help — they made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another visitor. The room was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully decorated, with unique design touches that made it feel special and personal. Every detail, from the lighting to the textures of the furniture, showed that real care went into creating a relaxing atmosphere. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, and after a long day exploring Jongno, it truly felt like coming home. What impressed me most was the staff’s professionalism and kindness. They were always smiling, quick to assist, and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do — it made all the difference. Whether it was providing local recommendations, arranging transportation, or just checking in to make sure I was comfortable, their service went far beyond expectations. The location couldn’t be more perfect — right in the heart of Jongno, surrounded by amazing restaurants, cafes, and cultural landmarks. I could easily walk to Insadong, Gwanghwamun, and Bukchon Hanok Village. It’s the perfect spot for both travelers wanting to explore the traditional side of Seoul and those looking for a trendy, modern stay.

I came to Korea with my husband to visit his family, and toward the end of our trip he had a medical appointment at Seoul National University Hospital. Because of that, we looked for a hotel that would make the hospital visit easy, and we decided to stay at Designers Hotel Jongno. It ended up being a much better stay than I expected. The room was clean, comfortable, and practical. Nothing fancy, but everything felt well-maintained. The bed linens were fresh, the bathroom was very clean, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent, which was honestly one of my favorite parts after long days outside. The room also felt bright and had a good layout, which made it easy to unpack and settle in. There was a safe in the room, which made keeping my passport and valuables secure really simple. I also appreciated the small desk area, which was convenient when I needed to sort through travel documents. The hotel provides bicycles for rent, so one morning I took a quick ride around the neighborhood. Jongno is easy to explore, and walking along the nearby Cheonggyecheon stream was really refreshing. The area felt lively but not crowded. We had a car with us during our stay, and parking was very convenient, which made exploring the city without worrying about finding a spot much easier. The first-floor lobby had a few practical features that made our stay easier— a currency exchange booth, which saved us an extra trip outside, and a laundry room, which came in handy since we we

I stayed one night at Hotel The Designers Jongno during my trip to Seoul, and it was a wonderful experience. The front desk staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming from check-in, explaining everything clearly and making me feel truly cared for — it really set a positive tone for my stay. The location was perfect for sightseeing — Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, Insadong, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Cheonggyecheon Stream were all within walking distance. It was so convenient to explore the area without needing transportation, and there were plenty of great restaurants and cafes nearby as well. Parking was available for an additional fee, which was convenient since I had my car. There were also light snacks and simple meals available late at night, which was great when I didn’t feel like going out. When I had trouble ordering delivery, a staff member kindly helped me — I really appreciated their thoughtfulness and excellent service. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with a spotless bathroom and a shared microwave on each floor for heating food or drinks. I especially liked that the hotel had laundry and drying machines available. Since it rained during my stay, being able to wash and dry my clothes made everything feel so much fresher and more comfortable. ☔💛 Overall, I had an excellent stay. The combination of great location, cleanliness, and warm hospitality made it feel like a home away from home. I’d love to stay here again!
