Are you looking for an activity on a wet and gloomy day? Take your time wandering around the interesting displays at Modern Design Museum. There's always an opportunity to learn a thing or two.

This museum is often on the itineraries of travelers to Hongdae. But Modern Design Museum isn't the only highlight in the area. Gyeongbokgung Palace, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, and National Museum of Korea are some other interesting sights close by.

Overall our stay was okay. However, I noticed that there were so many things scattered around especially the hallways that I find unsafe in an event of an emergency.

8/10 Very Good! (1,409 reviews)

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.
