Hotel the Designers Jongro Reviews

It was an amazing stay, it’s really close to Myeongdong which is a cool outlet place, recommend and staying here again in the near future.

Toilet light wasn’t working , took them 2 days to fix it . No service recovery . Eg. Upgrade of room / late check out / extra pillow .

Diff theme rooms. Room is spacious and near to lots of good eateries. Remember to try out the fried chicken and cheese topokki from this restaurant just around the corner! Super delicious

The location is great, and near airport bus station, bus stations and subway stations. I booked 4 rooms with the same price. There are different room types, some rooms are very small and space js not enough to open the baggages. Some rooms are spacious. Quite a lot of local street food near the hotel, and food are delicious even a random restaurant with reasonable price! In general, good deal in terms of affordable price, convenient location, delicious street food and nice restaurants nearby.

Feel disappointed first night hotel breakout been ask to climb stairs back to room at 10th floor. We do not want as we carry many stuff and very dark, we decided stay at Lobby to wait. They chase us out from hotel say not safe at lobby ask us go back to room or stay at outside. Electricity will resume only after 2am. We have no choice been forced staying at 711 till 2am then able to go back our room. When we back to our room the door are OPEN. The staff told us because no electricity and we not able to access to our room so they open up the door. Do you think is right? Anyway not recommended. Stay at your own risk.

Think the hotel is really worth the price, given its location and the room! Super duper comfy, we loved it. Had a bath tub that have massage function. Requested for high floor and the hotel gave us the top floor! Amenities are replenished everyday. We loved our stay. Entrance is from an alley but it was pretty safe and close to main road and bus stops, with really nice dumpling store nearby the main road! :)

Location is great and accessible. Counter service crew can communicated a little in English and if you are particular about a customer should enter/exit the lift first, over here, the service crew May sometimes forget about that and enter/exit first - I left my card in the hotel room and called for help but I don’t really care who entered the lift first. Nevertheless the service crew was polite and would strike conversation with you in the lift. Ask them what to eat, they’ll gladly recommend. I had nice raw beef (first time in my life I’m eating raw beef meat) thanks to the service crew. The room smelled heavily bleached when I entered. The sound proofing wasn’t good, I could hear the construction, the cleaner outside and sometimes the early preparation from the restaurant downstairs (I was on the tenth floor). The lights were very dimmed and it’s hard to put on make up for ladies. The cleaner would changed my bedsheet, towels and clean the room everyday as well. Foods are easy to find and are all around the corners. At around evening, there will even be a lot of ajuma’s and ajusi’s cart selling street food just downstairs. Transport wasn’t a problem at all. The location of this hotel is at the Center of Insadong, Changyeongung, Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon Hanok Village (and a lot more Hanok Villages), Myeongdong streets and a lot other tourist attraction. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with is location and service. Oh, and yes the bed was hard.

Location’s in a corner from the Main Street but still feels relatively safe. A short 5 mins walk to the metro. The hotel room is spacious but bed is hard so it depends on your preference. There also isn’t much proper lighting within the room. It was tough putting on makeup haha.

The hotel is well located with lots of amenities around and public transport is accessible. With many attractions within short distance.

Hotel is well situated around convenience stores and eateries whereby food is good and has quite a variety whether it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Just a 5mins walk from Jongno 3(sam)-ga station, Exit 15. Hotel is located in a corner of the street, hence for first timers, it will be tough to find the place especially in the night. Room is small without hooks to hang clothings nor space that you can hang your winter coats or wears that you intend to wear again. The room was somewhat dusty regardless of having room made up or not... Service was not the best as we were checked into a room that was not clean up, although given another room straight away, the room was pretty small. Also, when we requested for taxi to airport on departure day (we booked 01 day in advance), the reception made a mistake on our timing agreed (time was 1hr later than agreed time). Although the next day receptionist managed to order another on the spot, we wasted another 30mins just to get everything settled, was quite a scare for us. On last day of checkout, our level lift lobby had a pool of water on the floor, seems to have a leakage from one of the rooms...it was quite messy and we had to carry our luggages over the pool of water instead of pulling as we don't want water to seep into our luggages...

Room was quite run down and make up of room was not done daily. One night we came back with room door open up and ceiling was open up for some maintenance. Went down to reception and they are totally not aware. If there is maintenance work, they should inform us or even locked the door after. Security check not done at all. Booking of taxi for airport was booked at wrong timing even after checking with us twice the day before. I will not come back to this hotel.

Close to city centre and many different restaurant and street food neaby. Close to subway.

Location in terms of stations and eatery is great. But the street feels dodgy. My first room's toilet bowl was shaky (filler under the toilet bowl was broken) reception has changed the room the next day, but required myself to bring down my luggege then get the key they go all the way up to the new room again. They dont provide any services on that. My experience there was not that bad, but I dont think I will choose this hotel for my next trip.

Location is very convenient and near MRT. Room is clean daily. Front desk is very helpful in my queries, they are able to understand English.
