"You cannot get dropped off by taxi in front of the hanok. You will have to take your suitcases down a couple alleys. The front door is an electric lock, the the individual rooms have a three number passcode on the outside and the "lock" for the inside is a spoon and door handle. Would work fine if it was group using all three rooms, but wouldn't recomend unless your prepped with extra security. Was very clean. Small fridge and sink which was nice. Tinier than I originally expected but worked...

Top Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Hotel Reviews

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Airport bus stop in front of the hotel. Close to subway #2 which takes you to 7-11,"

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel offers an amazing stay, , great location, helpful staff, the facilities are clean, modern and look brand new,. 100% recommended!"

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun No.2

10/10 Excellent

"That was my another Toyoko stay. Compare to others that was not the best. Breakfast was OK but the room was not clean, hair was everywhere. Bed was comfortable, bigger then other hotels offered."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location..Very clean hotel and good restaurants"

Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, it’s close to both train lines and bus stop. Doota mall and the outlet is just behind the hotel, if you need to do some last minute shopping that’s the place to go to. The hotel room is clean and spacious enough for a couple. Bathroom has a bathtub and the shower head is pressured one I love it. The toiletries also smells great! I forgot to take a picture of the brand. There is also a communal kitchen in each flood which equiped with a small dinning area and a microwave! If you need to eat or use the microwave that’s where you could go. It also has a 7 eleven located in level 14 and ground floor has a scale, I use it to check how heavy my luggage is so I could reorganise it if I need to. Overall, I love this hotel and would consider staying here again if I comeback to Korea."

"Great location and helpful staff"

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"I love the shilla! Beautiful hotel and wonderful service. Enjoyed all my meals at their in-house restaurants. My only disappointment is their offer of shilla shuttle to the myeong-do area -- they don't actually have it. They said they sometimes do not offer the service...no guarantee. Why offer this service on the hotel description if the hotel doesn't guarantee it. No one could explain it to me."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"

K-Grand Hotel DDP

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff. Reasonable price. Good location. Close to subway train, mall, restaurants. Worked well for my family."
