UH Suite The Jongno

Our experience here was amazing! The staff went above and beyond to help us find the hotel. They were very responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again.

Loved this hotel!

Location was amazing if you want to just walk out and have access to the restaurants and bars in the Jongak area. Also, very close to chunggaechun, where walking is very nice especially at night. I paid extra for the maru living room. It was great for taking pictures but at least for the unit we got (401), the layout wasn’t the best. Also, bathroom doors were very heavy and wouldn’t stay open. Additionally, this room type was in the annex which was about 5 min walk from the main building. I would consider staying again but only at the main building.

시내한복판이라 조금시끄러웠던거랑 주차장이 없다는게 살짝 아쉬웠지만 깨끗하고 좋았어요

It was the worst accommodation experience we ever had. The photos are deceiving since it looked nice and clean. The unit we stayed in was not well maintained with walls that had food stains and water stains that has set in so can't come off(we complained about the stains so they cleaned but didn't come off). The remedied the stains with a wallpaper patch which I thought was so ghetto. Also, the walls of the unit are very thin. We heard neighbors' TV, talking, singing, and laughing until 3am as well as water running in the pipes. We had to cut our reservation short because I could not stay there any longer since I didn't get good night sleep during the 2 nights we did stay. Luckily, I was able to get the money back for the remaining days booked; however, the business was being difficult giing me the refund. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.

The suite were accommodating and the staff are very nice and helpful with every needs. The surrounding areas are always lively and you’ll always find something to do and eat once you step outside.

Great location with great value!

Great location Convenient for everything to do, staff are friendly. Very small rooms, our 2 bedroom room suite was crammed especially the twin bed room , literally the bed is in between walls. The posted pictures are very deceptive. THE PICTURES DONT REPRESENT. There is all night blasting noise, so if you’re looking for a quiet place look somewhere else.

FYI the Olive Young is actually a BBQ Chicken Village! Was not as disturbed by the music at night as others have commented. But the issue about the shower water is definitely something to work around. The staff were great about giving us tons of extra towels. They also helped us a ton by holding onto our larger bags before our actual check-in day when we were spending a couple days outside of Seoul first. Super helpful staff. Great location. It's a 10-min walk from Myeongdong, had a lot of food and shopping nearby too.

Figuring out the shower to get warm water and the water going everywhere in the wet bathroom was interesting. We’ve never encountered sinks flowing into an open floor drain before. The bedrooms were quite small. But the location was great, the staff were nice, the housekeeping did a good job and the place was very quiet at night. We enjoyed our stay.

We had looked forward to staying at this property given the hype/appeal of the brand, but were met with quite the disappointment. The unit itself was nothing like the advertised. We booked one of the two bedroom units with 3 double/queen beds, and that itself is unique and helpful in Seoul. But the unit is very cramped, and condition is ~10 years older than the pictures shown. The rooms have air con, but the unit is musty. The carpet didn’t look very clean. The worst attribute is the bathroom. Nothing like the pictures. There are tiny partitions between the toilet, shower and sink, but the water from the shower would splash and flow all over the space. Not in the well-designed Japanese way, in a let’s cram it all in manner. To top it off, this hotel/apartment is located within a commercial restaurant/norebang building. It smelled quite awful every time we went in and out of the building, and the while the noise didn’t penetrate the room, the surrounding area was very loud. The plus, and the main reason we chose this place, is its location relative to transportation options and sights/shopping/dining. It’s a 10/10. I feel badly about writing this negative review but we were incredibly disappointed. This place badly needs a refurbishment. We would not stay at another UH property again.

Good location

Great location. Great stay. Only down fall was the loud music at a bar nearby blasting till early morning of 3AM

We are a family of 6, with 3 generations and chose UH suites Jongno based on the excellent reviews and large accommodations. Unfortunately, we came to realize quickly the bad reviews were correct. Most importantly the shower water floods out of the stall into the entirety of the bathroom making it hazardous for my MIL who relies on a cane. Their solution was to provide more towels which immediately got drenched no matter how many we lay down. No way are we going to spend a portion of our trip in the ER so we checked out early. The hotel “penalty” was to keep the entirety of our payment totaling 5 nights. Thankfully Expedia offered to remedy this with a refund on their end. I would not classify this property as family friendly given the nightlife right outside the door and loud karaoke through the night. Pros: Bottled water Laundry detergent Slippers Tons of good restaurants downstairs Cons: Dirty (stains on walls) Super old mattresses Loud music/karaoke through the night Inebriated folks right outside

The best place

Good basic hotel. Loud music from businesses around until very late at night, at times area smelt & area not kid friendly. Shower leaked a large amount every time used. Staff lovely, however.

Our family of four stayed here for a quick few days in South Korea before flying to Japan. Property was clean, and we got new water bottles and towers every day (full room cleanings are done every 4 days). Room was massive by Korean standards! We got a “traditional” room that came with everything you need to make traditional tea, and some floor seating (not all seating was floor, there were also chairs). Washer was really handy, and location can’t be beat! Keep in mind it’s a busy area with very active (loud) night life, so bring some ear plugs just in case. Staff was so helpful, we really enjoyed our stay - thank you!!

If you want to be in the middle of the bar scene and have restaurant options, this place is the best.

The staff here are very nice, great communication in person and through the app. While there are bars outside it didn’t cause us (2 adults 3 kids) to lose sleep. Having so many restaurants and mini marts near by was nice, didn’t have to travel far for public transportation either. Will definitely stay again!

The hotel was in a great location in the middle of a bustling area. We didn't mind the music playing until the morning. It was within walking distance to where we needed to go. Will stay here again.
