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.

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.

It was tiny, but clean and close to food and transportation. Breakfast was mainly cold cereal. There were many fights of stairs without an elevator.

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.
