Reviews of Five Hotel Jongno
Monika Rutkowska
Very helpfull staff, rooms cleaned everyday, a lot of towels, you can leave luggage of you need to left for a few days. Its close to metro Station, close to Market.

Staff was nice, also there was a 24/7 DIY instant noodle space. Location was good and it was near the metro station. Though the room was quite small and bathroom not the most comfortable. Also the curtain did not completely block the window, so light would come through. I would recommend it if you have little luggage and stay for a few days.
Eren Saddat
Deserves 2-3 stars only. Location not too good not too bad. Rooms terribly small. Rooms clean but not too much. Staff barely speaks / speaks English but not rude. They provide tooth brush
Marvin Wiesenthal
Dirty and very small rooms even in relation top the rest of Korea. Location can be inconvenient. Mouldy showers. Wouldn't Go again.
C S Chua
Terribly small room. For one night with a hang carry bag is ok. Hard to locate especially at night as it is in the back alley. Bad location
