I had quite a mixed experience at Hotel The Designers Jongro. The location was definitely one of the highlights, being so close to Myeongdong and various great restaurants. However, the room wasn't as clean as I hoped, and the bed was super hard, making it tough to get a good night's sleep. Plus, I faced some frustrating issues with the electricity and room key during my stay, which put a damper on things. I'd say it's okay for a budget option, but it didn't really impress me overall.
