Near the Chungmu-ro Station for airport arrivals and departures. Other Subway lines near by as well. Staff was very friendly. Housekeeping was excellent, daily service.

Location of the hotel was a bit of an inconvenience since it is situated inside an alley. Other than that, hotel was excellent.

The hotel was lovely, clean, comfortable and with friendly staff. However we were disappointed that the bar was temporarily closed since that was a factor in choosing the hotel and there isnt much in the immediate vicinity.

I highly recommend the Hotel PJ. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were great. They literally had everything: separate desk area at entrance, well appointed bathroom, three beds and excellent living room area with Nespresso machine. Enjoyed my stay and hope to return.

Excellent and very helpful reception staff. A good breakfast, but repetative, and items not always available when service first started, and were allowed to run out, unreplenished, after 9 AM. Did not appreciate breakfast not allowing guests in after 9.20, despite breakfast time being untill 10. Disappointed that there was no bar, apparently the Roof Top bar advertised would not be opening up untill 2024! Our room however was good, with nice balcony with a great view. Good housekeeping.Very convienient location, close to Metro etc., restaurants and bars. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Loved housekeeping. Their attention to detail is duly noted. I never felt like my room was not clean.. I had fresh towels and sheets everyday. Now I must nitpick. Room needed to be renovated (old carpet giving off musty odor when entered room, wallpaper peeling, bathroom faucets needed to be installed properly). Would I stay here again? Yes! Great value. Very clean, and I received not a lot, but enough smiles. Overall a good property that will be great after renovations.

Wanna express my thankfulness to a female staff who worked during evening shift on 30 Sep 2023. I went to reception ask for help because I lost the luggage lock key. She helped me to call technician and break the lock. Both the hotel staff and technician were very helpful.

Staff is very nice and accommodating. Property is clean. The common areas are beautiful. The rooms are nothing special, they could use some updates. The beds are stiff. Shower water pressure is great. Netflix / streaming TV. The 11th floor / terrace is closed. Shuttle service is not available every day. 110v / 220v outlets in the room. Subway stations within 5 minute walk

We checked in a room that the air conditioning was broken but the staff was able to move us to another room right away. There were construction going on so it was noisy a bit when we wanted to sleep in. We were informed at arrival. Staff were super nice and helpful. Coin laundry was convenient!. Love the massage chair in the workout facility.

Nice hotel. A few details could change.
Good location, nice hotel room. I love there is a filtered water dispenser on every floor. Every hotel should have this. The gym "opens" at 8am. This is too late. should be 6 at the latest. I use quotes because it is connected to the 24 hr. business center so you just need to go around the velvet rope barrier. Strange. The concierge was kind of helpful in that he will look up information and relay it to you, but not much of a problem solver if you are looking for that kind of help.

Second time staying here. It was central to the major places to visit. 20-45 minutes walking to Myeong- do NF, Namdaemun, Dongdaemun, Gwangjang market Gyeongdok Palace and others, 5-7 minutes walk to subway stations to the front and the back of hotel. Places to eat all around. There was a breakfast buffet with a pretty good spread. Laundry facilities and a mini gym was available. Nice staff. They had a currency exchange kiosk in the lobby and a baggage storage area with a scale. These were really helpful.

I tend to stay at PJ hotel because it’s one of the most reasonable in terms of price and convenience. Hotel is minutes walk from/to Chungmuro and Euljiro 4-ga station, and has convenience stores and eateries nearby. It is clean, has friendly and helpful staff who can speak English. The only downside for me was that I didn’t have a universal adaptor and had to borrow from the concierge, but the adaptor did not work very well and I spent quite some time tilting the angle for it to work. Same for another adaptor which my friend brought. Besides that, we were all happy with our stay, and tried one day of hotel breakfast which didn’t disappoint. Will be back here again!

Everything was great - the location, the convenience to get to the subway, clean, pleasant staff. The only problem is that the hotel operates on central heating/AC, so the temperatures in the rooms are not adjustable. There is a thermostat, yes, but it does not actually work. We went in the first week of April and even though the outside temperature fluctuated from 15C - 25C, our room was consistently at 28C. We tried to make it cooler and even set it to the lowest temp possible (20C), but it remained at 28C for our entire 4-night stay. Not sure how bad it gets in the summer, but if you're not good with hot rooms, this might not be the place for you despite all its other great qualities.

Hotel is within walking distance from Gwangjang Market. It is around 1-2 subway stations away from the popular Myeongdong area. As such, the traffic can be very heavy during the peak period. Parking is limited. If all parking lots are taken, approach the front desk and they will direct you to park at a shopping mall/office building 5 minutes walk away. Staff are generally polite and helpful. Few speak English however.

This hotel was the best out of all the hotels we stayed while in Seoul. There is a convenience store right below the hotel. Rooms were clean and spacious. When I checked out, I left something behind and was surprised that the hotel still kept it for me. Only thing I didn’t like was the shuttle bus to MyeongDong actually only runs on Friday.

Stayed in two different rooms. Both had no AC, it was pretty warm and impossible to sleep. If you ask for balcony, remember that you will face construction ( should be done in 2023), rooms with balconies are newer, however if you are tall, bathrooms are uncomfortable. The area is so so, due to many shops that sell all type of things for construction. However , if you like to walk the place is ideal for insadong and myongdong(20-30 min walk).train station is 3 blocks away, so airport bus stop. Hotel has good bakery , pizza , Indian restaurant and 7/11. Lastly, you can leave your luggage for free in self checked storage room( up to 8 hours) , after you can pay. What I did not like was that staff made me book another night, so I could leave my luggage for 3 days. Will I be back ? Def no, especially after 8 diffident hotels I stayed in and had compared them to PJ.

Hotel PJ is located just a few minutes walk from Euljiro 4 ga station and Chungmuro station. It is about a 10 mins walk to Euljiro 3 ga station and to Gwajang Market. It is about a 40 mins train ride to Gimpo Airport, and about an hour to Incheon Airport. The size of the room was sufficient and balcony was big enough too. The tub, water pressure and water temperature was good as well. However, out aircon did not seem to get cold, and hovering about 24-26 degree celcius. The Aircon was quite dated and dirty as well. Otherwise, it would have been a great place to stay.

Plus point is that it has a bathtub, self service baggage lockers and free shuttle bus only on Friday. Minus point for the need to call and request for toothbrush and staff attitude. I was asking for instructions on how to go to Dongdaemun before I could check in and staff did not suggest to me that there is free shuttle bus. I lost my phone in Seoul and required help but they failed to assist me and they only say I don't know.
