Hotel Atrium Jongno

Good quality breakfast

Great staff

the rooms were very spacious

the breakfast area is abit small.

Location is super convenient. It's near so many different train lines (like 1 and 2). All the lines are walkable distances. Gwangjang market is also a walkable distance, like a 7-8 minute walk. There's also a Starbucks (selling Korean Starbucks cups too) next door to the hotel. If you need to go to a convenient store, G25 is behind the hotel across from the police station. There's also a 7-11 around the corner. If you're worried about logistics or travel time during your trip, this hotel would be a great choice.

The facility is a bit old. The guest rooms don't have the modern heated toilets, just the regular ones. Also keep in mind, even if you don't have a guest key, anyone can operate the elevators (there is the option of key activation only but it's not working). Also, the dining area is only open during a specific time frame so definitely check first if you want eat at the hotel.

The room is big enough for 4. Location is superb. Few minutes walk to jongno 5 ga subway station and Gwangjang market. Toilet bowl clogged and need to go lobby to inform, the staff does not seem surprised, so we assume it happened quite often? Good point is they sent people to fix really fast. Room make up is perfect.

We book a 2 double bed family room. Very soft mattress. The sensor light at the door keep turning on&off and no switch to off it. Room telephone not working or maybe the lobby doesn't want to pick up phone when we call to inform the toilet problem.
