"Overall great stay! It's close to the DDP and feels super safe to walk around at night. Easy access to cheonggyecheon and gwangjang market as well as subway.
We did accidentally get locked out after hours and forgot the passcode (only written on a piece of paper!) so it might be a good idea to save that to your phone! We didn't have Korea phone numbers and had no way to contact the hotel, but the guy at the CU next door called the hotel for us, so it all worked out!"

"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."

"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."

If you haven’t been to Seoul or the east be prepared for a different type of breakfast at the hotel. They do have bacon, sausage and eggs but also cater to the Asian clientele. There are also so many great bakery and coffee shops within walking distance."

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.

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...

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.

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....

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.

Hotel was easy to get to by airport bus. Only about 8min walk from both pickup/drop off airport bus location. Close to two different train stations and close to two major neighborhoods. Easy and about 30 minute walk to Gyeongbokgung, King Sejong Statue, and Deoksugung palace. Staff were nice and helpful, especially with transportation questions.

Very centrally located in Myeongdong, steps away from the major shopping area district. The hotel is only a few months old, but very clean and convenient. They have an industrial washer and dryer on every floor , which was great to use nightly. Next to that there’s a coffee machine with fresh grinds, we took advantage of that every morning.

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 hotel staff was amazing especially the night shift lady greeter. She was always smiling and I witnessed her assisting so many people of different nationalities with their questions. Having her in your staff is what will keep me coming back when I visit Seoul.

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.

Continue to love this hotel - came back for a second stay! Super quiet, super clean, slept great, fun eye mask amenity. Also if anyone figures out what their shampoo brand is let me know, it made my hair so soft!
