Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Hotel the Designers was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of beauty and maintenance, with some items in need of repair. However, after moving to a second room, the situation slightly improved. The staff was very helpful and friendly, directing me to nice dining spots and places to explore. The location wasn't glamorous but was close to various amenities like bars, restaurants, and popular tourist attractions. The dining experience, featuring an octopus millefeuille, was satisfactory. While the facilities were lacking in maintenance, the hotel did provide some essential amenities.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, although lacking maintenance, were very comfortable, with a small window to let in some natural light. The heat in the rooms could be a bit overwhelming at times. The service provided was helpful, and the staff would assist in recommending restaurants and places to visit despite the lack of outlets. The location was convenient, with easy access to a bustling area and close to key spots like Insa dong and Myeong dong. However, the location could be challenging to find initially. The dining experience, particularly the pancake platter, was enjoyable. The facilities were adequate, though there were some maintenance issues. My stay offered a good value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were okay for a short stay, but the lingering smell of smoke was off-putting. On the bright side, daily room care kept everything fresh. The service was excellent, with attentive staff always ready to assist. The location, though convenient for dining and exploring, had its downsides with muddy surroundings after rain. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks to consider.
