Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Depends on what you are looking for as a traveller. Most important criteria for me with any accommodation is cleanliness…this room was dusty. Phone was covered in dust. Mattress was sunken in. Definitely a budget hotel.
I hope this is taken as constructive feedback.
Best regards,
This time, I booked a shared room with friends when I arrived in Korea. There were four beds, so we each slept comfortably on our own bed. First of all, the Royal Suite was great because it had a Styler and a microwave oven inside the room.
As you can see in the photo, the bathtub was square and large enough for all four of us. The interior was spacious, and the large TV made it feel like a movie theater.
I stayed for two days, so I tried the washer and dryer on the 21st floor. You have to buy detergent at the front desk, so be sure to buy it before doing your laundry. I've moved twice. There's also a lounge on the 20th floor, and the food is affordable and has a wide variety of options. I enjoyed the night view while enjoying coffee, which gave off a city view and was quite charming. I'd love to stay here again.
I had a very comfortable stay at Designers Premier Seongsu & Konkuk University area. The location is convenient and it’s easy to get around Seoul using nearby public transportation.
The room was clean, modern, and well maintained. One thing that was especially great for us was that the room had five beds, which made it very convenient for a large family or group staying together. It’s not easy to find rooms like this, so it was perfect for our stay.
The food room service was also very good and we really enjoyed it. It was nice to be able to relax in the room and have food delivered after a long day.
The hotel also has great guest facilities. There is a lounge on the 20th floor where you can relax and enjoy the view, and a laundry room on the 21st floor which is very convenient, especially for longer stays. Free luggage storage is also available, which is helpful if you arrive early or need to leave your bags after check-out.
The staff were friendly and helpful during the stay. Overall, it’s a comfortable and practical hotel, especially for families or groups visiting Seoul. I would definitely consider staying here again.
Hotel The Designers Premier Seong-su y Universidad Konkuk
Situado entre la estación Seongsu y la estación de la Universidad Konkuk, el hotel The Designers Premier Seongsu & konkuk University fue satisfactorio tanto en cuanto a accesibilidad como facilidad de uso.
En primer lugar, el transporte era muy conveniente porque la estación de metro y la parada de autobús estaban cerca. Dado que la estación de entrada de la Universidad Konkuk y la estación del Gran Parque de los Niños están a pie, no hubo carga para moverse hacia el centro de Seúl o Gangnam.
También fue especialmente bueno que el servicio de almacenamiento de equipaje estuviera bien, por lo que podía dejar mi equipaje y caminar cómodamente por los alrededores antes o después de la salida. Debido a que hay muchas cosas que ver y comer alrededor como el distrito comercial de la Universidad Konkuk y la calle de café Seongsu, el recorrido del viaje fue muy eficiente.
En general, la habitación estaba limpia y bien gestionada, y las comodidades como la bañera, el rizador y la gran televisión estaban disponibles en la habitación, por lo que no hubo ningún inconveniente durante su estancia. Gracias a la amenidad cuidadosamente preparada, me sentí bien en viajes cortos y alojamiento en pareja.
En particular, en el Lounge situado en el piso 20, se pudo disfrutar del vino y apreciar la vista nocturna de Seúl, ya que el ambiente era perfecto para terminar el día. El servicio a la habitación era posible, por lo que podía disf
This was the best place to stay in downtown Seoul. The best part was the 20th-floor lounge, the affordable prices, and the delicious food. I had a three-day reservation and needed to do some laundry, so there was a washer/dryer on the 21st floor, which was convenient. Since this is a centrally located hotel, I went to Namsan Mountain, which was a 25-minute taxi ride away. I went shopping in Myeongdong on the way back, and the hotel staff were always so friendly and welcoming. I had an appointment with a friend, so I met them in Seongsu, and it was so close that I didn't even want to take a taxi. It only took three minutes. And if you're hungry, it's easy to order delivery, which is delivered right to your room. The exterior is beautiful, and the high ceilings and upscale interior are impressive. The room was also clean, and I requested daily housekeeping, which they did with a smile, which I appreciated.
I made a reservation at this hotel to travel to Seongsu-dong. It was a four-day, three-night schedule.
The staff were very friendly.
The first room was a city view, and I was a room with a view of Jungnangcheon Stream.
It was clean and there was an electric mat on the bed, so I could sleep well warmly.
The room also had a bathtub and a cell phone charger.
It was nice to be able to watch Netflix and Disney.
It was so nice to have a laundry room on the 21st floor.
It was so nice that I could use it for free if I just bought detergent.
There was also room service, so I ordered whole chicken for dinner and late at night, but the chicken is really delicious.
I also operated a lounge on the 20th floor, but the view was so good and the atmosphere was so good that I used the lounge for three days.
There were whiskey, beer, highball, soju, etc., and the highball was so delicious.
I liked grapefruit highballs.
Be sure to go up to the lounge on the 20th floor.
The transportation was good, so it was good to cross Gangnam.
The Designers Premier Seongsu Konkuk Hotel holds a special place in my heart. I stayed here before, and everything the stylish room, warm lighting, friendly staff, and calm atmosphere left a lasting impression. This time, I was planning a trip to Jeju Island, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how relaxed I felt here, so I chose Seongsu instead.
From the moment I entered the lobby, I felt comfort and familiarity. The subtle fragrance, modern design, and quiet ambiance were just as I remembered. The staff’s genuine smiles set the tone for my stay. My room was spotless, perfectly lit, and filled with calming energy. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom spacious with thoughtful amenities.
At night, I enjoyed coffee by the window, watching Seoul’s skyline sparkle — peaceful despite being in the city. The neighborhood, with its cafés, boutiques, and restaurants, adds charm, blending local culture with modern energy.
What makes this hotel truly special is the sense of being genuinely cared for. Every detail the scent, lighting, greetings makes you feel at home. This stay reminded me why I fell in love with it, and I already know where I’ll stay next time in Seoul. Designers Premier Seongsu Konkuk Hotel isn’t just a hotel; it’s my personal haven in the heart of the city. 🌃💖
I come to Seoul a few times on a business trip, and this is the best place in Seoul~♡♡♡
This is TMI
The three, who appeared to be on a business trip in the elevator, asked each other what the room was like and said, "It was so nice. I was surprised."
I'll go inside while hearing that
' Yes, I was surprised that equality was so good at this price
That's what I thought.
Do you feel proud as a regular customer? lol
Today's room has an integrated curling iron and hair dryer and a large TV. The furniture looks new and feels luxurious.
And the bathroom and shower room were separated
There are more than one or two alternatives.
I wanted to eat on the first floor and go to the restaurant on the 20th floor, but I didn't have time..
I didn't use it, but there was also a laundry room on the 21st floor, so I was so happy that I didn't have to go out of the hotel.
I'm taking a good rest today
The 21st floor of the building was equipped with a laundry room and a dryer. I used it conveniently because I came from far away on a business trip.
The room was equipped with gowns and hangers, and there was also a microwave oven on the first floor, so I could warm up the food at any time, so it was convenient during my stay.
And if you asked the front desk that you needed an iron or an iron holder, they brought it to your room.
There are a lot of restaurants and bars near Kundae Station
There were many pop-up shopping malls and prop shops in Seongsu-dong, so I enjoyed shopping while staying. After checking out, it was possible to store my luggage, so I could easily take care of my business at the end.
