Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, featuring a lovely comfortable king size bed, huge windows, and a large bathroom. It was perfect for my 6-day trip with 2 adults and 2 kids. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location was fantastic, right in the middle of a great shopping area with easy access to multiple subway lines. The dining options were varied and delicious, although I wished for more fruit choices. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel is superbly located at Dongdaemun, just near the train station, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable, offering a pleasant stay overall. While the dining options could have been more varied, the staff are friendly and always willing to help.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel offers spacious, clean rooms with stunning views of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. The service was exceptional, and the convenient location made exploring Seoul a breeze. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with room for improvement in quality and variety. Despite a few minor drawbacks, my overall experience was fantastic.
The hotel is conveniently located at Dongdaemun, very near the subway station and close to Design Plaza and Doota for great value-for-money shopping in Seoul. The rooms are cozy and adequate for a 6-day trip with 2 adults and 2 kids, although not overly spacious. The service is efficient with convenient amenities like dry cleaning and housekeeping available. However, the dining options may be a bit limited, and some items like fruits and granola were missing. Overall, a good choice for those looking for a practical and well-located stay in Seoul.
The hotel is situated in a prime location, right across from Dongdaemun shopping malls and a minute's walk from the subway station. The rooms are small but cozy and well-kept, offering a comfortable stay. However, some improvements could be made in the dining options. The location's convenience is a standout feature, but the unhelpful staff can be a downside.
