Reviews
Laura from United Kingdom (9/10)
The Hotel was clean. The location was perfect, 5 mins away from Sinseoldong Underground. Although it is located in an alley, me being a solo female traveller, I was a bit anxious before getting there, but all my worries disappeared as it is a safe area, so if you are a solo female traveller like me, do not worry at all! The room has everything you need, the bed was comfy. There is a nice room next to the reception where you can sit and eat your food in the evening if you feel like it, with a coffee and tea machine and an ice machine too. There are also 2 massage chairs. Overall, I was really happy with my stay!

I had stayed at Jongno Lumia previously in March 2023. I really enjoyed the comforts and the location it offered for my stay in Seoul then and this time around it was as equally well located and comfortable. I would say a few things are starting to feel the wear and tear of a well used hotel but nothing that affected the comfort of my stay. It is located along subway line number one with options to two subway stops within five minutes walking distance. The location is out of the touristy area and more amongst local Seoul citizens and a huge daily outdoor market. It is surrounded by everything you require when it comes to food/restaurants and necessities, including grocery stores and cafés. A short walk up a local hill gives access to beautiful views overlooking Seoul. There is also a wonderful temple and Buddhist statue perched on the hill that I had the pleasure of waking up to and looking at every morning. There is also an amazing spa chair you can easily access in the lobby that I thoroughly enjoyed every evening after getting in my 20 to 30,000 steps hiking around this fascinating city. As I will be travelling to Seoul again in the future, I will without hesitation book Jongno Lumia again, and would recommend it to other travelers.

I had a pleasant stay at Jongno Hotel Lumia for 6 nights. The room was surprisingly spacious for an Asian hotel and the massage chair was a fantastic bonus. The hotel was clean, quiet, and the staff were helpful. Its location is convenient, offering easy access to the city center via metro.
Overall, I'd recommend Jongno Hotel Lumia for travelers seeking a comfortable base to explore Seoul.Naomi from Switzerland (8/10)
