"들어서면서부터 향기가 좋아서 만족했고 숙소가 가족들이 머물기 너무 좋았습니다. 욕조가 있어 여행후 반신욕으로 피로를 풀었고 입욕제도 제공해주어 정말 좋았습니다. 냉장고가 굉장히 커서 과일을 좋아하는 저희 가족에게 안성맞춤이었습니다. 그릇과 컵도 모두 예쁘고 다양해서 좋았고 무엇보다 숙소가 너무 편안하고 예뻐요!! 한국느낌을 살리면서도 편안함이 최고네요! 다도도 가능해서 아침마다 가족들과 다도를 즐겼어요. 오설록 티백을 제공해주시는게 대박인데 처음 먹어보는데 향이 너무 좋네요!! 다음에 서울 올일 있으면 무조건 이 숙소에 머물거에요!"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Access to multiple subway lines. Spacious inside. Perfect for our family"

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I loved our stay in the hotel. Staff were so helpful and both our rooms - residence and standard-were beautiful. Excellent location with subway a minutes walk and right at an airport bus stop. Across road from DDP building and good shops nearby. We intend to stay here again when we visit next year!"

Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"We have been to Seoul many times and I think this hotel is one of my favorite hotels so far. Hotel is very clean and well maintained and the staff are super friendly and helpful. It also shares the building with Hyundai Outlet Mall so shopping is very convenient. If you need glasses, there is an optometry station on B1 in the mall in front of the escalators and they are very friendly and for basic glasses, you can get them within 20-30 minutes for a fraction of the cost in the states. There is a convenience store in the lobby (CU), however, it seems to be out of stock very easily because so many people in the hotel shop there. There are many convenience stores right around the hotel so this is not really that big of a deal. One thing to note is that the lobby is on the 14th floor where you check in and check out, but the concierge is on the first floor.. Transportation is super easy from the hotel as you have access to four different subway lines within minutes of walking and bus stations going in every direction. There is also a taxi station on the main road in front of Doota Mall which is next door. There are also many very good restaurants in the alleys around the hotel. Highly recommend!"
