We’ve been a repeat guests for Sejong. Really appreciate the hotel’s cleanliness and amenities. The room was clean, even housekeeping did a good job when we requested for our bed to be made. The only thing that didn’t change is the worker’s union protest, that seems on-going even before covid. Fortunately, they didn’t bother hotel guests but get a bit crowded when the protest at the lobby though.

Right around the corner from Myeongdong night market and shopping area. There’s also an Incheon shuttle bus that picks up 2 blocks from this hotel. The hotel itself is fair, nothing special but certainly does the trick.

Under normal circumstances, I would give the Sejong a 4 star review since it delivered a clean a spacious (albeit dated) room, at a price point that delivers value. BUT we arrived under abnormal circumstances. We arrived to a shocking mountain of garbage in the streetside lobby, nearly blocking the stairs. There are also stacks of garbage outside along the sidewalk. Some of this reflects an ongoing labor dispute-- which also impacted out stay-- but collecting trash seems a basic task if your hotel is going to remain open. Finally, the breakfast buffet was nearly inedible. Again I don't know if it is because the regular kitchen staff was let go or is striking, but for 22,000 won (around $15), the eggs should at least be full boiled, and the array of salads, etc. should look plentiful and fresh. If I hear that they have brought their workers back, I'll edit this review... but for now? No way.

Sejong is in a perfect location, right next to the metro station and markets but not ok noise. The service was very good and efficient. However, there was some mould in the bathroom and the shower didn’t work properly. There are also 24hr protests outside the hotel due to unfair dismissal, which we wish we’d known before staying.

It was a good stay in almost all material ways save the semi permanent protest area with chairs tables and protest signs as a result of employee firings at the main entrance. One should be aware that there may be a large protest against the hotel taking place at the one and only pedestrian entrance to the hotel on a day of your stay (as was my case).
