Pros:

Stayed here for 3 nights. I got the VIP room with the massage chair. It was heaven after a long day of exploring Seoul! I didn't have the breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on that. The location was okay, it had a very local vibe but the station was not good for big luggage due to the stairs in the station. I couldn't find the station elevator when I arrived. Some reviews said Exit 5 but actually the elevator is between Exit 5 and 4 so you might miss it like I did.
Also it's on Line 1 so it can get very busy.
The staff were really nice and welcoming.

Overall I recommend the place, especially for solo travellers. I felt safe in the hotel and in the area. Also very good for the price I paid. I will consider it again in the future.

Pros:

コンビニがすぐそばにあります。
部屋は3人で一部屋だったのでそんなに大きくはありませんが、収納が沢山あるので2人なら充分だと思います。
洗面所にタオルをかけるところがないのが少し使いづらかったですが、シャワーにはガラスの扉があるので、便座が濡れなかったのが良かったです。
清掃をお願いしたら変えてもらえるタオルもフカフカです。
無料のお水がもらえるのも助かりました。
ヘアアイロンもあったので便利です。
総合的にみて、また利用したいホテルです。

A great hotel to set up base for touring Seoul!
Pros:

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.

Great, valuable stay with a hard mattresses
Pros:

-free drinks available 24/7
- massage chair in room

Cons:

-bed mattresses were really hard. Eventhogh I preferre a little harder than a too soft bed. These were really hard. Therefore not as comfy as one would wish for.
Otherwise everything was fine in and out of the hotel room! :-)

Comfortable stay with a few quirks
Pros:

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.

Cons:

There were a few drawbacks. The room controls were entirely in Korean, making them difficult to use. Also, the keycard displayed my room number openly, which felt like a potential security concern. Lastly, there wasn't enough storage space in the room and very few hangers were provided.

Great convienient stay.
Pros:

We loved the size of the room, the shower was great and everything was clean. The view from our room was nice and it was easily accessible and close to multiple different convinient stations that allow you to go all over Seoul.

Cons:

Althoug there was AC in the room, the room was SUPER warm, 26 degrees all the time. The AC was located right above the bed and had a light, so it would get really cold in the bed and the light would prevent us from sleeping.

Amazing
Pros:

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!

Cons:
