Hotel The Designers Jongno

It was really cozy and comfortable stay for 6 nights. Staffs were friendly and assisted us a lot during the stay. They cleaned the room every day so it felt like a first night stay every time we go back to our room. Building seems to be a little older than expected and there were some damages on interiors in our room. However it was a minor issue and barely visible. Air conditioning and air purifier worked really well and we had good rest at the end of the each days with a big screen tv. It was amazing stays all the time

Family Trip to Seoul – Grand Family Room Review The Designers Hotel Jongno When you travel to Seoul with family from Australia, the biggest challenge isn’t the flight — it’s the sleeping arrangement. Six adults. Different sleep habits. Parents who value quiet rest. Younger ones who still have energy at midnight. We were honestly worried. That’s why we chose the Grand Family Room at The Designers Hotel Jongno. The moment we walked in, my parents paused for a second. My mum’s first words were, “Oh… this is actually very nice.” And that says a lot. The beds were already neatly aligned, with crisp white linens and plenty of pillows. Everything looked clean, bright, and properly prepared — not like a room where extra beds were just squeezed in. My dad immediately walked to the wall side bed, pressed the mattress with his hand, and nodded. “Good support,” he said. Approval granted. What surprised us most was how comfortable the layout felt. Even though we were six people in one room, it didn’t feel chaotic. There was enough space to move around. Luggage didn’t block the walkway. The low center table became our little gathering spot — we placed snacks we bought in Jongno, plugged in our phones, and just sat around talking about the day. For my parents, comfort is everything when traveling. They’re sensitive to noise and cleanliness. That night, before turning off the lights, my mum said, “I’m glad we didn’t book two separate rooms. This feels warmer.” She was right

I came to Korea with my husband to visit his family, and toward the end of our trip he had a medical appointment at Seoul National University Hospital. Because of that, we looked for a hotel that would make the hospital visit easy, and we decided to stay at Designers Hotel Jongno. It ended up being a much better stay than I expected. The room was clean, comfortable, and practical. Nothing fancy, but everything felt well-maintained. The bed linens were fresh, the bathroom was very clean, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent, which was honestly one of my favorite parts after long days outside. The room also felt bright and had a good layout, which made it easy to unpack and settle in. There was a safe in the room, which made keeping my passport and valuables secure really simple. I also appreciated the small desk area, which was convenient when I needed to sort through travel documents. The hotel provides bicycles for rent, so one morning I took a quick ride around the neighborhood. Jongno is easy to explore, and walking along the nearby Cheonggyecheon stream was really refreshing. The area felt lively but not crowded. We had a car with us during our stay, and parking was very convenient, which made exploring the city without worrying about finding a spot much easier. The first-floor lobby had a few practical features that made our stay easier— a currency exchange booth, which saved us an extra trip outside, and a laundry room, which came in handy since we we

Great placement, facilities and helpful personnel
