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 Hotel the Designers was a mixed experience. The rooms, though not dirty, were not as beautifully designed as expected. However, they were kept clean. The service was very helpful and accommodating, providing me with an extension cord when needed. The location was convenient, with plenty of dining options nearby and within walking distance to the train station. The dining experience was average, but I did enjoy the croissants. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although well-designed, lacked maintenance at times, and they were smaller than expected. On the positive side, they were comfortable. The service provided was friendly and helpful, leading me to great restaurants and places to visit. The location was amazing, close to many attractions and easily accessible by public transport. However, one downside was that the dining options were limited.

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.
