I probably won't return to stay at Seokyu Hotel even if I return to Seoul. It has a great location; near to the hongik train station. However, I would rather pay to stay in a guesthouse which is cleaner and cozy. More

It is very near Hongik University station on Arex, so it is very convenient for us. The rooms are too small to match its price, especially without breakfast. There are many good restaurants near this hotel. More

When I first checked in I was given a smoking room on the 5th floor. This was a problem since I don't smoke. The room reeked of smoke. There were several noticeable cigarette burns in the carpet. I asked to change rooms and they said there wasn't one available until the next day. I thought I would suck it up... More

Upon first arrival at Hotel Seokyo I was very disspointed. The lobby area is very nice and updated but my room was not. The room was small and pretty shabby with mismatching furniture and an incredibly hard bed. However, the staff was unbelivable kind and generous with helping us navigate Seoul and book tours. They are at the desk 24... More

I found the location of the hotel to be okay. There are better areas to be in as it seemed a bit out of the way. It is a block away from the subway so that was fine. Check-in was fine as we were a group and rooms all ready. When I saw the room, I was a bit disappointed... More

I'm surprised by the negative reviews of the Seokyo. Sure, it's not an exceptional hotel, but it seems like a perfectly good business hotel to me. The room was spotless, and the beds comfortable. The management lent me a free internet cable on arrival, so going online was free and easy. The breakfast buffet was extensive and good quality. My... More

This hotel has VERY small rooms and HARD beds. Located right near a university, so there are lots of easy food options closeby (including some American options). 5 min walk to subway. AC does not work well. Free internet (you have to give them a deposit for an internet cable). There is a "business center" which has only two computers.... More
