Yangdammal Holidays from NZ$2,085

The room was pretty small, the bed was not exceptionally comfortable, but it wasn't the worst I've slept on. The location is really nice, there's a lot to do, located in a fun area. I only stayed there one night and checked out so I really can't give a full review on this, it worked for what I was doing. If I needed to work in the hotel room for very long, it really wasn't set up well for that.

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.

The property was very clean and in a good location (closer to Euljiro than Myeongdong stations however). Small things
