Staff were really friendly and able to meet requests made, the view from the hotel was incredible and the location was great, right next to a station and convenience store. The breakfast was delicious and there were a variety of options to choose from. The room was clean and spacious and so was the bathroom.

Great hoel location
Hotel is in a great and quiet location. A few steps away from Sookmyung Women's University Station made our stay very convenient. There's an Olive Young across the street and plenty of coffee shops too. We'll stay here again soon!

Great location
The hotel is clean and modern and located conveniently at exit 10 of Sookmyung women's university. Rooms are average sized, though the bed is a bit hard. Breakfast is good at a charge of 15K won. Nearby it is within walking distance to eateries like Kyochon Chicken.

Great hotel. Close to Seoul Station and theres a subway station outside the door. The room was spacious for one. Cute shower with a tub. There was no lockbox in the room, but then again S. Korea is safe. I'd come back.

Amazing location at central Seoul
I thoroughly enjoyed The Designers Hotel at Seoul station. Its more of Sookmyung womens Uni location rather than Seoul station. Amazing service and location. Right at subway exit 10 of Sookdae station.

Overall, I’m satisfied with this hotel and probably come back when I come to Seoul.
Good:
- location, less than a minute from Metro station (line 4) with an elevator at the exit.
- staffs are generally welcoming and flexible on your request
- lots of food options as it is close to an univ.
- big bathtub with jacuzzi is a plus! Especially after long walking
To be improved:
- room cleaning can be more improved
- pillow smelled bad a little bit
