Seoul hotels in Dongdaemun-gu

Pros: Next to Shinseoldong station. Close to Dongdaemun. Nice local restaurants are near by.

Pros: The spa facilities were very nice and the atmosphere was great! I loved the location and it was nice to relax!!

Cons: The staff at the front desk were nice. But when I asked for them to check the sauna because we didn’t know how to turn it on, whoever helped me was very rude and didn’t greet or seemed like it was a nuisance to even help. Also, we woke up early to have breakfast (after the time they said it opened) but was told they didn’t have anything ready and it was about 2 hours after they already had opened. Other than the service. Everything else was perfect.

Pros: Breakfast was not included

Cons: Breacfact should be included in the price

Pros: The room was big and clean , close to the metro (2 min walk )

Pros: Its location.

Cons: No laundry and ironing services.

Pros: Location

Cons: Some of the furniture is too old

Pros: The beds were comfortable and very close to the subway

Cons: The sheets could have been a bit cleaner. Booked for 3 provided amenities for 2.

Pros: I did not like it at all

Cons: It was dirty and the staff didn’t hear me out about it. I was disgusted with the state of the room. They told me was “clean”. I didn’t even want to shower without sandals on and I couldn’t sleep under the blankets. The shower stunk

Pros: The family room was very clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and very helpful

Pros: The hotel is a two minute walk going straight from exit 4 on the Sinseoldong subway exit. The staff was helpful and spoke English fluently. There is a 3pm check in that was enforced during my stay due to a booked hotel. The staff "upgraded" my room due to this.. The upgraded room was spacious with two love seats, a desk and a bed. In the room you have control of the air conditioner but it is a single unit installed in the ceiling. Which is very different from what most hotels in America have, a major ac unit with multiple vents. I think this one unit air conditioner is typical in Korea. Liked the western style bathroom even though I didn't fit the tub. The bed was very plush with a sink in effect, which was nice since the other two hotels in Korea had hard beds with light sheets. Very clean and the cleaning lady was very attentive!

Cons: I really did not have much of a compliant about the encore hotel. There was a breakfast buffet which had satisfactory food, little flavor for the price. Also note that a hour to ending the buffet food is not replaced, just gone. But this i believe is cultural too I noticed in Paris baguette, dunkin donuts and other restaurants that they made only a limited quantity for the day.

Pros: The location was great. Right by the metro station. It’s clean. The rooms are small.

Pros: It was good. Staffs are very friendly and polite.

Cons: Entrance lobby is relatively small and therefore always busy and a bit noisy.

Pros: I requested for higher floor for night view but wasn’t granted. However my experience was fine. I feel comfortable in this hotel

Cons: I wish check out time is about 2pm. Also, brighter lights in the room

Pros: The staff have all been very warm and welcoming. The rooms are cozy and the location of the hotel is perfect as it is just adjacent to the subway station

Pros: nothing

Cons: everything

Pros: Location is great and that is the only good thing about this hotel

Cons: Room is smaller than i expected. Housekeeping is poor. The tile in the bathroom is cracked, sink area dirty, hair on the wall. pillow is so flat, Toilet roll and tissue box are almost finish not a fresh roll.

Pros: Very strategic location near subway station. The front desk staff are helpful and friendly.

Pros: I loved Mr Kang! He is the best host ever! We had never been to South Korea or Seoul before and he sent us great directions and information on how to get to the Guest House before we arrived. That was so kind and it really helped to make our journey smooth. And when we left he helped us to catch our flight to Jeju on time. Thank you so much Mr Kang! :) Dongdaemun Guesthouse is in a perfect location for everywhere in Seoul! Mr Kang is very hardworking and he is always trying his best. Again, thank you very much Mr Kang.

Pros: Mr Kang the host is very kind,always makes sure there's always clean towel for you and always willing to assist you for your queries

Pros: The location was very near to Sinseol-dong subway station exit 1&2! Just a few minutes walk and you will reach there without any steep slope. Simple facilities provided such as water, kitchen, refrigerator, table wear and others.

Cons: Photo of room showing at website not same with the real situation. But the bed is same.

Pros: The owner is very friendly! Breakfast included is such a good thing! This is an old Korean house, do not look for luxious place here

Pros: Best of the best :)

Cons: Couldn’t use wifi inside the room.

Pros: I like the room. They also allow us to make some changes on our booking for free.

Cons: The housekeeping service did not change our bed sheets, pillow and blankets during our stay. Yes they do some cleaning but they are not replacing the sheets

Pros: I really liked the hotel and the staff. They were very kind and accommodating and helped with all my questions.

Cons: As a solo traveller and a non Korean speaker I don’t recommend this area. It is safe, but very local and far away from everything. Hard to get around, I wish I had known this before I booked.

Pros: The place was great! Booked a room for me and my sister and stayed there for 5 days. Hotel is accesible and just minutes away from stations and there's a bus stop right in front. Staff were very friendly. The place is clean and will book here again when we come and visit Korea the second time.

Pros: Located exactly 50meters from bus stop

Pros: I arrived to Seoul in winter time, and as we all know in Seoul they don’t have central city heating, but i was surprised in a good way that in hotel warm floor!! It’s amazing and u just can’t get cold in a room))! Also my flight was for whole night and when i came pretty earlier than supposed to, but the staff kindly checked in me ) they are helpful) What about breakfast, it’s enough to be full for morning. Some toast bread, jams, cereals , tasty noodles, sausages aand eggs! I really enjoyed the breakfast haha Regular every day cleaning, and refreshing towels with other bathroom stuff) What about the location...for few steps you will have bus stop, for 10-15 to sinimun station. It also close to foreign university and hospital.

Cons: Well...In the room hotel had a booklet where breakfast time showed from 7am to 10am, and unfortunately i was really upset when I didn’t find any of food and staff said to me that it’s until 9am.... i was like whaaaaaaaat.... why didn’t you update the information in rooms?? But thanks for patience and we figured it out, i’ve got some food) The second is the staff have so so English, and be ready to prepare google translator) but they cute and they hardly trying to understand you) If it’s your first time in Seoul and you want sightseeing, so better to find place closer to the center) seriously And if you want street with restaurants, just go towards the student campus there is a lot of choice and not expensive) Btw!! You won’t believe me! Haha it is funny, when i needed to make fast noodles from cu market when, I started looking for a kettle to boil water, and here I was at a loss “is there really no kettle and mugs in the rooms ??”. I searched everywhere and finally I opened the shoe cabinet and find there a “hidden” kettle and mugs! But I found them on the 4th day there haha

Cons: There was a glass wall between the bathroom and bedroom. Meaning you can see the other person inside the toilet.

Pros: It was very near to subway and bus station

Cons: there was a lot of mosquitoes every day. Can see the died body of mosquitoes stick on the wall. Shower water suddenly turn cold and not stable.

Pros: The location is very convenient, it is in front of the metro station, the staff are very friendly, nearby many places for good breakfast, the bath room has hot and cold water although some of the bath room pipes need fixation

Cons: some of the bathroom pipes need fixation

Pros: It's very inconvenience for public trainspot The bus stop and train station in front of stay. Line Number 1. Very easy to go any where. Good location. The breakfast will be prepared very early ( when I check out at 5:30 am, I saw the breakfast has been prepared)

Cons: The place not for elders people

Pros: Good value for money,near to subway station, near to airport bus. Everything just infront of the hotel. Room also quite comfortable for me.

Cons: Everything was good just need to improve on toilet cleanest but it was not really bad and still can be accepted:

Pros: the breakfast is on time, however, it does change from the very beginning up the last day of my 4 days stay

Cons: the location is very accessible to transportation, marts and resto.

Pros: the location of course! Soooo near with the Subway entrance

Cons: sometimes they didn't provide breakfast.

Pros: Staffs are nice!

Cons: Too cold that the tap was frozen:(

Pros: The place is near the train station & bus stop, exactly infront the building. The surrounding area also full with convenience store where you can buy groceries. Also got few korean restaurant too. The staff also is quite friendly. The room also is not that cramped.

Cons: The pictures shown here is edited, once you go there its definitely different. The building is kinda creepy a bit, no lit very well so it's always quite dark inside the place. No proper pantry & place to sit. Also no cutlery/plate/bowl you can borrowed & used. I've stayed for few nights & I never know what breakfast they provide. Plus we never met any other guest during our stay. No housekeeping done throughout my stay, and they never took out our rubbish. Plus the dustbin also is very small & no extra trash bag is provided. The bathroom door is made of glass & in middle part of it is see through. Its very unpleasant & uncomfortable when you want to used it as the people outside can see what's happening on the inside. Plus the space for the bathroom is TOO BIG, they should do so renovation & reduce the size of it so that the actual room size can be increased. Btw, although the building is near the bustop, if you want to take airport bus from there. You still need to walk few block & waited on another bustop area.
