This hotel is in the heart of Myeoungdong, close to everything but pretty dated. Nice view of Namsan tower but the window needed a cleaning and the room smelled weird. Everything was outdated and needed a fresh renovation. Big plus was the brunch downstairs. Food was really good with many options and the price was exceptionally good. The entrance to the hotel was a mess with picketers when we stayed there a big eye sore. I probably wouldn’t stay there again since there are so many options nearby at this price point.

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.

Sejong is in a perfect location, right next to the metro station and markets but not ok noise. The service was very good and efficient. However, there was some mould in the bathroom and the shower didn’t work properly. There are also 24hr protests outside the hotel due to unfair dismissal, which we wish we’d known before staying.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel overall. The property was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was extremely convenient, and the room itself was comfortable and spacious. The only real disappointments were the lack of air conditioning and the absence of a microwave in the room. The absence of air conditioning made the evenings a little uncomfortable, and a microwave would have been useful for quick reheating food. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel provided a great experience, and I would consider staying again - especially if these amenities are added in the future.

Breakfast? Is it included? Nobody mentioned it when we checked in. The hotel look and smells old, lots of people outside and rallying. It doesn’t look great outside. Been to better hotels. They need to refill the soap dish, hard to push it out. Good location. Very accessible. Close to everything - food, convenience stores, street market etc. They change towels and clean the room everyday.

The property is not the cleanest. Unjust fired employees from 4 years ago created a crowd and protesting with loud music right at the entrance of the hotel. Something sad and unexpected to see in South Korea. Rooms are cleaned every day and the property and rooms are outdated and smell old. The location is great however

Under normal circumstances, I would give the Sejong a 4 star review since it delivered a clean a spacious (albeit dated) room, at a price point that delivers value. BUT we arrived under abnormal circumstances. We arrived to a shocking mountain of garbage in the streetside lobby, nearly blocking the stairs. There are also stacks of garbage outside along the sidewalk. Some of this reflects an ongoing labor dispute-- which also impacted out stay-- but collecting trash seems a basic task if your hotel is going to remain open. Finally, the breakfast buffet was nearly inedible. Again I don't know if it is because the regular kitchen staff was let go or is striking, but for 22,000 won (around $15), the eggs should at least be full boiled, and the array of salads, etc. should look plentiful and fresh. If I hear that they have brought their workers back, I'll edit this review... but for now? No way.
