I read a lot of posts on platforms before booking and was very satisfied with my 3 nights at Sejong. Very convenient location. Exiting Myeongdong Station is the hotel door, the bus stop is right next to it, the night market is a few minutes away, this area is convenient for eating, shopping and doing anything. The minus point is that the hotel was built a long time ago so the design is not modern, but it is clean and larger than most rooms in the area, the price is also reasonable, the staff are friendly and provide quick support.

The airport shuttle bus was just down the road from the hotel, very comfortable and probably faster than the taxi we used to get to the hotel. WiFi was very good. The room was very clean and comfortable. 2 reasons for not giving a full 5* review: lots of things left just inside and outside the hotel entrance for demonstrations because apparently the hotel let go some staff that they felt was not justified. I was also disappointed that I was charged for losing a room key - plastic card that is easily lost and won’t cost the hotel much.

This hotel is in the heart of Myeoungdong, close to everything but pretty dated. Nice view of Namsan tower but the window needed a cleaning and the room smelled weird. Everything was outdated and needed a fresh renovation. Big plus was the brunch downstairs. Food was really good with many options and the price was exceptionally good. The entrance to the hotel was a mess with picketers when we stayed there a big eye sore. I probably wouldn’t stay there again since there are so many options nearby at this price point.

Under normal circumstances, I would give the Sejong a 4 star review since it delivered a clean a spacious (albeit dated) room, at a price point that delivers value. BUT we arrived under abnormal circumstances. We arrived to a shocking mountain of garbage in the streetside lobby, nearly blocking the stairs. There are also stacks of garbage outside along the sidewalk. Some of this reflects an ongoing labor dispute-- which also impacted out stay-- but collecting trash seems a basic task if your hotel is going to remain open. Finally, the breakfast buffet was nearly inedible. Again I don't know if it is because the regular kitchen staff was let go or is striking, but for 22,000 won (around $15), the eggs should at least be full boiled, and the array of salads, etc. should look plentiful and fresh. If I hear that they have brought their workers back, I'll edit this review... but for now? No way.

We’ve been a repeat guests for Sejong. Really appreciate the hotel’s cleanliness and amenities. The room was clean, even housekeeping did a good job when we requested for our bed to be made. The only thing that didn’t change is the worker’s union protest, that seems on-going even before covid. Fortunately, they didn’t bother hotel guests but get a bit crowded when the protest at the lobby though.

Sejong Hotel has lots to improve. 1) We stayed at a bigger twin room facing Namsan Tower. But what we didn't know is that it's also facing the road hence the traffic can be very noisy. Not for light sleepers. 2) There are daily worker strikes at the lobby and the entrance of hotel. The workers feel their dismissal during Covid was unfair hence they have been on strike to have their jobs back since then. I have to salute on their perseverance but aesthetically, not something you'd like to be welcomed every day. They start their campaign early morning and again, not for the light sleepers. 3) The hotel is located near the airport limo but as we had many times stayed in hotel located within Myeongdong shopping, we find the location a bit of a walk, especially after a day of sightseeing and shopping so choose what's important to you. 4) Room is big and dated. Expect some mold in bathroom. Bed and pillow too soft for comfort and gave us neck and back ache. You can open the window for ventilation but we called for help to do that as we're afraid the window might drop 11 storeys down. Housekeeping not entirely clean. Overall, Sejong Hotel is more like a big overpriced guesthouse. They might do better if they had employed more people.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel overall. The property was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was extremely convenient, and the room itself was comfortable and spacious. The only real disappointments were the lack of air conditioning and the absence of a microwave in the room. The absence of air conditioning made the evenings a little uncomfortable, and a microwave would have been useful for quick reheating food. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel provided a great experience, and I would consider staying again - especially if these amenities are added in the future.

The showerhead was quite dirty, and the room decor felt old. They did clean the room everyday so at least that was bearable. We were shocked when we couldn’t enter the main door due to the protests outside. We realised that the protests had been happening for years after googling. But kudos to the working staff who had to manage all these and they apologized for what was happening with the protests. This was clearly a management issue with the hotel.
