Haengdang 1-dong Packages (Flight + Hotel)

Elevated youth hostel at best. Next to no amenities (No hand soap in the bathroom?? No closet / anywhere to hang clothes. No slippers. Front desk only available until 10pm. No toiletries if you forgot yours) House keeping only available if your stay is 7+ days A 10min walk to Hongdae station so its a quieter area.

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.

It is right in the middle of Myeongdong shopping street and only a few minutes walk to the metro station. I love that they had a water dispenser/purifier in the room and a microwave and coffee machine in the pantry area. Rooms are basic but it is sufficient and worth the price paid for.

What I like: The hotel is very centralized and less than 5mins walk from Westin Josun Hotel (alight and pick up for Airport Limosine Service 6701). Also short walking distance to Lotte Duty Free and Shinsegae Duty Free, and stone throw away from the Myeongdong shopping and night market street. Staff are generally helpful and friendly. Pretty new and clean room. There is a 24 hours convenient store and Starbuck just next to the hotel. What I wish: More choices for in house dining. There is only 1 Restaurant that served decent breakfast. There is a lunch menu available but not much variaty. They only have buffet for dinner. There is no swimming facility as the hotel is consider a small development. But they do have a gym (which I did not explore), and self help paid laundry facilty. Bed is kind of hard and pillow kind of too soft for my personal liking. Overall a good experience due to the cleanliness, friendly staffs, and location.

The room was clean and roomy, making it comfortable for two guests. We stayed for two weeks during our trip to Korea and found the location very convenient. It’s close to Insadong and Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, both known for their rich cultural atmosphere. Public transit was easily accessible, which made getting around simple.
