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

Unfortunately not greeted by the staff at the desk, not explained any of the facilities or hotel proceedures just given the key and pointed to the door. I booked the deluxe room which was slightly bigger but all it had was a desk behind the bed which left the bed awkwardly placed in the middle of a small room. Overall the room was disappointing and the bed hard and uncomfortable. Location was very good as an entrance to the metro is right Infront of the main door. The street it's located on becomes an outside eating venue with many vendors at night and theres a loud bar at the foot of the hotel which can be heard from the rooms. The advantage is there's many places to eat within just a few steps at all times of the day.

Disappointing room and staff

The hotel is easy to find as it’s just in front of exit 4 of the Jongno-3 metro/subway station  (with escalators). Also accessible via Airport Bus 6002 from Inchon Aiport, walk maybe 5-8 minutes from the Bus stop for Jongno 3. 

It’s a small hotel, with one elevator to reach all the rooms. No option for breakfast  inside the hotel, but there is a McDonalds a few minutes walk away.

The room is on the small side, but the good thing is that it is complete with a big tv (complete with Netflix & YouTube) and lots of stations to choose from), a small ref ( with free 4 bottles of water  everyday), a safety deposit box, a small closet ( with hangers perched up so high for short people, haha), and most importantly-  a clean toilet and a standing shower!  That is the most important for me as I hate bath tubs! The shower gel they provide smells divine, very good quality. They also provide a charging station in the room, so you can survive if you forgot to bring your charger for your gadgets

The location is just in front of the alleyway to Ikseon-Dong, where the action is. Lots of cool cafes and restaurants to try & explore. 

Also a few minutes walk to Insadong, where the interesting  artsy stores and tea houses are.

Price  per night is quite reasonable  as compared to the nearby hotels. This hotel is right beside Moxy Insadong 

If there is something that needs improvement, it is the presence of a staff in the front desk at all times. There were a couple of times that I had to wait  long for someone to attend to my queries. Also, carpet inside the lift is badly stained.  Please do something about it

Reasonably priced hotel fronting Ikseon-Dong

We had a great stay at Makers Hotel in Seoul. The staff was really friendly and spoke decent English. The room itself was really modern and spacious with a large comfy bed and huge TV with Netflix. Bathroom was clean and relatively large too. 
The location of the hotel is great, right outside of the metro exit (take exit 4) which makes it easy to reach and easy to get around the city too. Just outside of the hotel is the very cool area of Ikseondong Hanok Village where there's lots of great cafes and restaurants plus shops. 
There was no breakfast included which was a bit of a shame as we found it a bit hard to find some nice breakfast around, with most cafes only opening around 11am/12pm. But apart from that we had a great stay and would highly recommend.

Cool design hotel right cross from the beautiful Ikseondong Hanok Village

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

Lovely staff at the Makers Hotel who are more than happy to help in any way they can.  

The location is excellent; directly across the street is a multitude of great restaurants, bars and shops.  

The only danger is that there is so much to explore in the neighbourhood that it’s hard to leave and explore more of the city!

3 nights in Seoul is certainly not enough.  The Makers hotel is a good base to explore and the staff give wonderful maps and directions. 

Bear in mind that the accommodation is fairly utilitarian. The beds are extremely firm but the lovely and accommodating staff were more than happy to give me a mattress topper on request. 

Decor is cool, fellow guests I spoke to enjoyed their stay also and the Makers pros definitely outweigh the cons!

Great location and Staff

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.
