Hotel The Designers Hongdae

Great location, spacious well appointed room

N/A

Overall good, they provide with all the necessities, facilities clean, room looks nice, they also provide bath robes which is good. Our room was a little bit tight if you have big suitcases, but we managed. Another plus was we could watch the football match between korea and south Africa hahah, good time.

We had issues controlling light and the AC.

Excellent location close to entertainment, shopping and public transport, making it very easy to get around Seoul. The room was clean and comfortable, and the view of the Seoul skyline was fantastic. Small detail, but the shower gel smelled like lychee and was honestly amazing. Great overall location for exploring Hongdae.

The rooms don’t seem particularly soundproof. On the first night around 2am, a group of drunk guests were running through the corridor screaming, which was very disruptive. I also opened the window on arrival and found cigarette butts and rubbish jammed into the window frame which fell out when opened. The small blue light on the mirror was extremely bright at night and needed covering to sleep comfortably. Additionally, the master light switch beside the bed wasn’t working, meaning lights had to be switched off at the entrance and then walking back to the bed or bathroom in the dark.

Location ok.

Shower over toilet. Hope you like a wet bottom. Weird light setup. Breakfast I paid for refused, lady said we weren't on a list. Dirty linen in our hallway entire stay. Fire exits jammed with garbage like a broken toilet?? Average hotel. Staff inattentive and borderline rude. Avoid. It was expensive for what we received.
