Mt. Inwang is an ideal place to begin exploring Seodaemun-gu. This steep landmass comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, and National Museum of Korea to fully experience what's on offer in the area.

7.4/10 Good! (188 reviews)
Staff was excellent; lobby area was nice with complimentary coffee, tea, water bottles, and cookies. Disposable utensils and plates were also available.
The room and washroom was dated. The room was also not sound proof from rooms above and below. There is AC, kettle, and dryer available in the room. The room could accommodate 5-6 guests (Family)

8/10 Very Good! (1,475 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.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (227 reviews)
Perfect for a stay in Myeongdong. We did pick this property for our last shopping spree just after coming back from Jeju and it was great for doing back and forth trips with our bags from the shops in the area.
The room was and had a great bathroom. This accomodation feels pretty contemporary and modern.
Check in and check out were super easy, and we had all the basics covered for staying the night.
To be clear, this is a hotel where the location is the main attraction - not the facilities - yet what they offer was pretty good.
I will definitely use this in future trips to the area, very convenient.
