Hotels near Changdeokgung

The location is incredibly convenient. There's a bus stop right outside the door with direct service to the airport. The room was very clean and comfortable. It's super easy to get anywhere, even if you return to the hotel late at night, because it's in Dongdaemun, which is essentially a city that never sleeps. You don't have to worry about it being too quiet or dangerous at night. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs, and the hotel is right above Subway Exit 4! The location is perfect! Breakfast: Simple but delicious. Cleanliness: 100 points. Transportation convenience: 100 points. Service: Excellent.

Don't go if you're not planning to be out all night. The music and noise of the city doesn't stop till 7 AM. Super convenient location and I didn't have to worry about how I would get home.

This was my first time staying here, and it turned out to be an absolute success. The Airport Limousine bus stop for bus 6015 is right in front of the hotel. Euljiro 4-ga Station on Subway Line 2 is just a short walk away, and local bus stops are also nearby. Jungbu Market and Gwangjang Market are within walking distance, and there is an e-Mart on the first floor of the hotel. Our twin room had plenty of space to open our suitcases easily, and it featured a bathtub with a shower curtain. Water pressure was great, and toilet paper can be flushed. The sink is located in the room rather than the bathroom, complete with a large mirror and a vanity chair. The closet was also very convenient to use. The TV is wall-mounted and has smartphone connectivity. The refrigerator is a bit small, but a 2-liter bottled water can fit if placed diagonally. My only minor wish is for a hand towel ring near the sink. Many of the front desk staff seemed to speak Japanese, and they were happy to hold our luggage. While it is not a brand-new hotel, it was very clean. I will definitely stay here again.

great location, really close to train station, food, shops. Room is neat and comfortable the only downfall is the exit sign is illuminated and when you turn the lights off it’s bright! I don’t know why there is an exit sign inside the room maybe it’s a Korean policy. We checked in around 11.00pm and it was self service and my booking could not be found on the system after about 8 attempts I believe someone remotely went a found my booking. a little scare but was fixed promptly.

conveniently located near Myeongdong. the airport limousine bus stop is just in front of the hotel entrance. spacious room and great breakfast

Location is very convenient, close to Suyu station Line4 and there’s an airport bus stop nearby. Staff is friendly. After checkout we left our luggage for storage for some hours and they joked we can even claim it the next day haha!

I was able to stay as a solo traveller. it is clean and well kept. it is very near to restaurants and is located at the center of Myeongdong area. I do not recommend for non couples because the bathroom is frosted glass. you might not have a personal space. as a solo traveller good experience overall!

I stayed at Hotel the Designers Hongdae for 5 days and 4 nights and had a pleasant overall experience. One thing I appreciated was the housekeeping service. The staff consistently changed my towels and emptied the trash every day, always managing to do so while I was out, which made my stay very convenient and comfortable. Breakfast was included in my booking, but there was only a one-hour window to avail of it, and the menu lacked variety. After a few days, I found the options repetitive and ended up skipping breakfast during my last two days. Despite this, I felt comfortable throughout my stay. The hotel’s location is a major advantage—it offers easy access to the train station and is within walking distance of Hongdae’s shops, restaurants, and attractions. I especially appreciated being able to walk around the area safely and conveniently during the later hours of the evening. Overall, I had a decent and comfortable stay, and the excellent location was definitely a highlight.

quiet, tidy and clean room. Staff is very pleasant and polite.
