"Although it’s not even located near the actual Dongdaemun area, they still named it “Dongdaemun.” As a tourist unfamiliar with Korean administrative districts, I was quite frustrated — I felt deceived, having expected to be within walking distance of Dongdaemun Culture Park Station and the Dongdaemun shopping district.

"Chambres et hôtel en général d’une grande propreté !
Personnel agréable et toujours disponible.
Seul bémol, les chambres sont un peu petites mais la qualité de l’équipement et la propreté des lieux compensent largement cela !
Aussi, l’emplacement est parfait pour graviter rapidement vers les principaux lieux touristiques."

"Love the cafe and CU convenience store in the lobby. The housekeepers came every day to make our beds and clean up the room. The hotel is located in a less busy road but very easy to get around, plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Also love that the airport limousine bus stops right in front of the hotel. It was one of the reasons why I booked this hotel. Will definitely stay here again."

"I've been a guest at the SkyPark Dongdaemun Hotel 3 times and have never been disappointed: the hotel is centrally located, a Tous les Jour Bakery is directly across the street as well as the stop for the airport bus and a subway station, the DDP and a big local marketplace are all within walking distanct and there are many small restaurants nearby. The staff is helpful, speak English and provide excellent service."

Top landmarks in Dongdaemun-gu
Kyunghee University
10.0/10 (1 review)
If you'd like to get a taste of Seoul student life, check out Kyunghee University in Dongdaemun-gu. Our travelers also like this historical area for its riverfront setting. It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. Seoul has many other landmarks you might want to see such as Bukchon Hanok Village and Gyeongbokgung Palace.
If you like the hustle and bustle of a market, you might want to head out to Gyeongdong Market in Dongdaemun-gu and take in the atmosphere. There are also lots of shops and restaurants in the area if you fancy a wander. Splash some more cash at Seoul Folk Flea Market.

Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here? It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If you want to see more of the museums in Seoul, Seoul National University Hospital isn't far either.
If you like haggling for the best price, you might want to head out to Seoul Folk Flea Market in Dongdaemun-gu and take in the atmosphere.

Why not give yourself a treat with a trip to Hongneung Arboretum, one of the family attractions located 3.9 mi (6.3 km) from central Seoul. Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here? It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If you have fun at Hongneung Arboretum, you'll love Bukchon Traditional Culture Center and Children's Grand Park, both located nearby.

My husband and I just wrapped up a 7 night stay at The Magpie. The stay exceeded our expectations. We would have never known they had opened less than a month before our stay.
The Room: I was worried the room would too small based on the stock photos, but it was just right. My favorite amenity was the built in water filter! FYI: Be mindful of the water pressure during your shower, as the water can bleed into 1/2 the bathroom. Recommend leaving the bathroom fan on during your stay to help it...

The location of this hotel is unbeatable. It is close to several tourist locations, restaurants and shopping areas. The access is pretty easy from the airport (the bus stops right at the door) or by train (Seoul station is just 15 min by taxi), something really helpful if you come with family.
We chose it for the indoor pool, which has a couple of jacuzzi next to it. It was a perfect choice to relax after walking around.

The hotel is beautifully decorated and at a wonderful location close to the sought after tourist spots. Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed the variety. One thing of note was that upon requesting some ice, I was asked to pay a minimal fee. In all my stays at luxury hotels, I cannot recall being charged for ice. I am not sure if there is something particular about ice here but you may consider providing this as a complimentary amenity to your guests as I felt a bit embarrassed for the staff...

Fantastic. If you’re looking for an upscale experience, do this. It’s right on Myeongdong, so if you want to go there, this is your hotel. It’s a smaller hotel but it’s a luxury hotel. While we were visiting the roof, had Jackie Chans car from one of his movies, they had borrowed it so we took some pictures there, which was pretty cool.
Staff are attentive and there’s a laundromat on the roof, when you walk out, there’s literally restaurants 5 feet away.

The location was excellent. Close to everything. The family room on the 8th floor was spacious and quiet. My favorite part of the room was automatic water dispenser! Korean winter is pretty dry and having water dispenser and kettle was great way to hydrate. The CREW were accommodating. We were able to check in early and get needed rest. We received a welcome snack and that was very sweet! Special shout out to Benny at the bar, who took care of us when I needed non-sugary, non-alcoholic drink....

It was just as lovely as everyone has reported. The front desk, room service, bellmen, etc, were all so very friendly and kind. Every staff person we met went out of their way to help us and offer a first class welcome. They were exceedingly polite, especially with our language barrier. Many of them spoke English fluently. It was just wonderful to be treated so well.

I've been traveling to Seoul for 26 years and the staff at this hotel were far and away the best I've ever encountered. The room was great, but there's no real need to pay extra for a "higher level" room. I stayed in two rooms, and they were both clean, quiet, and fairly room for Korean hotel standards.

The check-in staff was unattentive, not very hospitable and didn’t give us much information, just answered our questions. We asked for city view room, but our room was facing a back alley of a building.
Other than that, our stay was amazing. Our room was super clean, beds were very comfy, the cleaning ladies and staffs during breakfast were very friendly & attentive. The location was great too. Walking distance to many places.
