Top Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Hotel Reviews

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Decent property. Beds are very confortable. Air Con very quiet and perfect flow. Very good breakfast for a fair price. Friendly staff and service. Rooms are a bit dated mine had some dust on the desk. Quite expensive $$ for what it is."

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Pick up.sercice was really good."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemun

8/10 Good

"Great location. Options for late check out. Happy to have an air filter and humidifier available in the room. Housekeeping was not consistent. Area under the beds had not been cleaned in some time."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL DONGDAEMUN

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic hotel close to public transportation and the airport limousine bus 6001 just drops you right in front! There are 4 convenience stores very close. As for the hotel and the room, I have nothing but good things to say. Clean, well maintained, modern hotel, with great breakfast and good amenities. The laundry room has 2 large washing machines and 2 separate dryers. The storage room has many individual, automatic storage boxes but large enough for a standard checked bag and it’s for free for 12 hours. The rooms are on the small side but I think in Seoul that’s normal, but the bathroom with the heated toilet seat compensates for it. Overall we had a great stay and we would definitely return!"

Travelodge Dongdaemun Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable to sleep on. The location was also close to the bus stop and subway station which made transportation very easy."

Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were multilingual and willing to help with everything possible. The room was simple, bathroom was spacious and clean. Each floor has a shared kitchen with a microwave. Each room has a mini-fridge. A 7-11 opened in the lobby recently, so you can get banana milk 24/7 (good or bad, you decide). Location is soooooo convenient. I was able to get to the subway easily. It was perfectly located for everything I had planned. Uber pick-up and drop-offs were easy as well. Maaany food options in the nearby streets and neighborhood. Post office was about a 12 minute walk away. I cannot wait for my next trip. My friends all want to stay here too after they asked for my opinion. They know I am simple but can be picky about little things. So my recommendation means a lot to them since I pinpoint areas they also have issues with and tell them whether they will be okay or not."
