This is a great value for a stay in Seoul. 

The location is absolutely sensational. It's on a street packed with restaurants, with a subway station directly in front of the hotel. Across the street is the entrance to Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, a nest of alleyways with tons of unique shops to explore. Other subway stations are also nearby and Gwangjang market, with its literally thousands of stalls, is a fifteen minute walk. One thing to note is that if you are planning on using a car (you should not be) the streets near the hotel can be almost impassible to vehicles because there are so many people walking around.

The price is an absolute steal for the area, but the hotel is very basic. There is a small lobby and a tiny common area on the second floor with free bottles of water. Rooms are also very minimal. Mine had a bed, TV, nightstand, and not much else. No desk, and only a single outlet. As a final note, the bed and pillows were very firm. I like that, but if you prefer plush mattresses you will find the bed unpleasantly hard.

For a cheap stay where you spend most of your time exploring Seoul rather than being cooped up in a hotel, this is a great choice.

Incredible location, great price, ok hotel

I stayed here for almost three months between September 2021 and November 2021 for a business trip, so my office at Gwanghwamun square was within walking distance as well as many of the tourist highlights in central Seoul. 

The hotel is located right at the exit of the subway station Jongno 3-ga, so it is very easy to start a trip from here. The charming Ikseon-dong hanok village is right across the street and Insa-dong, Changdeokgung and Jongmyo Shrine are very close by.

The hotel is very clean and the staff is very friendly, helpful and courteous.

In spite of its central location, the hotel has a very good noise insulation, so the rooms are silent even while the streets are crowded.

During my stay in Korea, Makers Hotel was my second home and I was always happy to return after a long day. 

I can really recommend Makers Hotel for short and long-term trips to Seoul.

Excellent Hotel in Central Jongno

I came here for the weekend solo and loved my stay at Maker’s Hotel. The location is perfect, everything is walkable and if you want to take public transit that is easily accessible too. Very friendly and helpful staff!!!!

Great location!

We arrived late a night on this charming hotel, after a long flight, but the check in process was easy, quick and very friendly.

We stayed for 7 nights, and were very pleased with the hotel, specially the convinient location and the servive, always eager to help.

The rooms are clean, silent, and the bathrooms very good (good hot shower on cold winter days). The TV has only korean channels.

The breakfast in good value, if only the same everyday.

Overall I would surely recommend this hotel for its value, location and friendly service.

Great location and service with a fair price

we followed the hotel instruction to take AREX train to the hotel with only 1 transfer and arrived exactly on the right of subway’s exit. We immediately loved the hotel with its rustic interior the lobby, room and cafe for breakfast. The room very clean and comfort and the most important it is located just few steps to the famous Ikseon-dong for unique and vintage restaurants village or they called it instagramable. Only one thing they have to do is to change menu for breakfast. We stayed there for 4 nights and having the same all morning!

Makers my hotel in Seoul

Location of the hotel is excellent.  It is right next to a subway station that is attached to 3 lines.  It is in the funky Ikseon Dong neighbourhood which is full of eclectic shops and a wide variety of restaurants. It is also conveniently located near to many historical sites. The staff were very helpful (restaurant recommendations, transportation, directions, general inquiries) and they genuinely seem to enjoy making your stay positive.  The rooms are on the smaller size but is clearly as described on their website.  The rooms are well maintained, organized and clean. The bed mattress is hard but manageable.  Noise was quiet in the hotel (only normal city noise every once from outside). The lobby and common areas are very nicely designed.

Great location and helpful service

This is my 1st visit to Seoul after 15 years and the staff at Makers Hotel provided good service from providing us directions to the places we wanted to go (Sally) and to recommending a good Korean BBQ Hanam Pork (Young) which we enjoyed. They are friendly and fluent in English which makes it easier for us to communicate.  I loved the vibe from the hotel lobby to the area around the hotel.  The room was clean and comfortable with enough space to put 2 big luggages and move around.  I will definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends. 

Excellent service and great pocation

The Makers is located right at the top of the steps from the subway station and right across the street from a really trendy restaurant and shopping area. The Staff are excellent; friendly, helpful, and enough English speaking for those of us who only speak English. They helped us with finding restaurants, sites, everything. They also told us that Google Maps doesn't really work in Korea so you need to download Naver. The rooms are basic, clean, and have well fitted bathrooms. The beds were hard compared to what we are used to but perfectly fine for the 5 days that we spent there. 
We would be happy to stay there again.

Great Location...Great Staff!!

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Makers for 4 nights, a place with warm hospitality perfectly situated right in front of the Jongno sam (3) ga exit 4. Vintage feels all around with clean well-kept rooms, well insulated windows (good for sound reduction from the street) and good set of utilities provided.  We slept well.

Big thanks to the really helpful English-speaking staff who made the stay as comfortable as possible. 

Location is great part 2: You will be in the hustle and bustle of one of the trendiest up and coming neighbourhood - ikseon-dong, a gentrified hanok alley with beautiful cafes, restaurants and boutiques - and a quick 10 minutes walk from quirky and cultural insa-dong shopping area. 

Warm hospitality and great location

Wow this hotel is fabulous.  Friendly lovely reception staff very helpful. Lovely front desk area cool decor. The location is unreal we literally walked to every sight..such an amazing base. The road literally opposite the hotel is part of a small village so cute lots of bars restaurants and shops. 10 out of 10!
