I stayed at Designers LYJ Hotel for 3 weeks with a breakfast package for two while undergoing surgery at Braun Plastic Surgery. The location is excellent; only a 5-minute walk from Braun and close to restaurants, shopping, cafés, and convenience stores. The hotel felt safe, and the housekeeping staff were honest, respectful, and trustworthy. Alex, the General Manager, and front desk staff Enzo and Yang were kind, professional, and very helpful.
Breakfast was simple but repetitive. My son stopped going after the fourth day because he grew tired of the menu. My elderly mother continued going by herself and occasionally took a small amount of food for herself to eat later in the room since, after surgery, we couldn't finish full meals at once. We later learned the hotel has a policy against taking breakfast food to guest rooms, which we respect. However, a friendlier explanation from the beginning would have made the situation much more comfortable. Instead, my mother felt closely watched, which made her uncomfortable.
Alex kindly upgraded our room after we shared our concerns. After that, we simply ordered takeout and ate together in our room. Overall, the hotel is convenient for short stays, especially if you're visiting Braun Plastic Surgery. For a longer stay, however, I would probably choose a more comfortable hotel or an Airbnb. If you're visiting Seoul in July or August, be prepared for hot, humid and wet.
