I had a mixed experience at Hotel The Designers Jongro. The modern design of the deluxe double room was visually appealing, but the limited space made it feel cramped. The location was excellent for exploring downtown Seoul. though my stay was marred by some maintenance issues and less-than-friendly service.

The deluxe double room was stylish, but quite small. The bathroom felt cramped and cleanliness was an issue in both rooms I stayed in. The design of having a tub next to the bed was less practical than I expected.

I had quite a mixed experience at Hotel The Designers Jongro. The location was definitely one of the highlights, being so close to Myeongdong and various great restaurants. However, the room wasn't as clean as I hoped, and the bed was super hard, making it tough to get a good night's sleep. Plus, I faced some frustrating issues with the electricity and room key during my stay, which put a damper on things. I’d say it's okay for a budget option, but it didn't really impress me overall.

I recently stayed at Hotel The Designers Jongro for a week, and while there were some highlights, there were also some disappointing aspects. The modern design of my deluxe double room and a large TV with streaming options were great, but the room was small and not as clean as I expected. Additionally, I encountered issues with power outages and key card problems, which made my stay less enjoyable.
