Hotel the Designers Seoul Station

The best about this hotel was location, super convenient if you need to be close to Seoul station and also many food places to choose from within just 2-5 mins walk, and the convenience store just downstairs. The hotel is not at the Seoul station itself but just 1 stop away, and the station has an elevator entrance right in front of the hotel. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The premises are just ok, but the room itself is oddly designed, despite the name of the hotel “the Designers Hotel”. The room switches are not located near the bed and electricity sockets are lacking. The bathroom is designed in a way that if you are taking shower, the water will flow by the toilet and the sink. The bed is ok, the pillows could be better. Overall I would give it 7.5 out of 10. I would not be able to stay here for more than 3 days, but if you are in a business trip for 1-2 days and on a budget, but need a convenient location near the transportation hub, it is a good choice.

Great hotel. We loved it. We definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Seoul. It was so convenient because of its location next to the train station (exit 10).

*THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS OF BEST HOTEL/PLAN IN ANY TRIP, there is only hotel/plan which suit you.* I choose hotel designer due to its very last min spontaneous trip to fix for two (with a 10yo) mean no nightlife , no happening place. Hotel designer seoul is 1 station after seoul which i felt it is fine . The station less crowd, its in a quite neighborhood with food/cafe/convenient store around . The subway station with lift which mean every trip back to hotel there is less grumpy for the kid for climb the stairs bck to the hotel, happy kid = happy mom. If you can walk within 10-20mins u shall can reach seoul station areas too but we didnt as its our first winter trip with -7’c. We do not want to get ourself caught in cold so basically we just take train. Buy the 3days weather card from Convenient store cost 6000w & upload 10k won for 3days unlimited train around the seoul for bus and train which is worth as whichever train station u missed , in and out you will no need to worry about the balance you have to top up. Back to the hotel itself, we got the premium room. Which can accomodate for 3pax . Come with a huge bathtub with jaguzzi which we didnt use 😅 Abit dim for the light. If we open the curtain the building opposite can be see thru , at first they gave us 3rd floor and we request for higher. If any floor higher than 15th shall can see very nice view of namsan tower . And we only to find the nice cafe which gave 40% off for the hotel guest which we shall notice it earlier . The cafe is comfy . The convenient store gs25 and c u mart right opposite the road does safe us for any convenient meal. But each trip cost us 30000won 🤣 its aint cheap tho. But the kid preference , once again happy kid = happy mom. We found next door room with white interior look brighter and more suit for family instead black suitable for couples 🤣 Anyhow, the price for the year end holiday during the peak season week, there is no complain. Will i be back ? Yes its cheaper during the normal days i think.

Was a very pleasant stay. Booked the suite room for my family of 5 and the room was really well-maintained, clean, and spacious. This hotel is incredibly convenient as well, nestled literally just beside the train station which was something i appreciated a lot when you are trying to go back to the hotel as fast as possible due to the freezing weather. The TVs also has Netflix which was a nice add-on. Recommended!

The hotel’s location is excellent, with subway exit right outside the hotel and only 1 stop from Seoul station. There is also a lift near the exit so people with luggage do not have to worry about having to carry the luggage up the stairs. Room size is ok but soundproof not very good so we could hear people next door talking if they are too loud. A lot of food options around the hotel. Convenient store is just next to the hotel and there is a sandwiches shop nearby which open very early in the morning and serve Korean style toast. Cheap and delicious 😍

Location is really great. Is right outside exit 10 of seomyung university station. There’s many convenience shops and food options outside the hotel, in fact a GS right beside the hotel. Hotel is also comfortable. Staff is friendly and has fair English proficiency. Tv has Netflix but it gets disconnected daily then we gave up after. Only issue is that there were no hooks in the toilet so it was minor inconvenience. Otherwise great price great location. Highly recommend.
