Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was in a convenient location in Dongdaemun, close to subway stations, traditional markets, and Dongdaemun itself. The rooms were well-equipped but a bit dry. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were some language communication challenges. The dining included creative salads and required going to a different area for breakfast. The facilities offered value for money with a shared kitchen and laundry amenities.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I noticed the room needed updating with wallpaper peeling off the wall, a piece of wood fell off, and there were stains on the walls. Additionally, there was no wardrobe or ironing board available, even when requested at reception. The deluxe family room turned out to be way too small.
Even though the hotel's rooms felt quite dry, causing a bit of dehydration, the location was what I liked the most. The proximity to both Dongdaemun metro station and Dongmyo station was perfect. The service was a mix of super friendly and some communication issues. The dining experience included a trip to a different suburb for breakfast, which was a unique touch.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were equipped with useful amenities like a TV, kettle, and hairdryer but had some areas with noticeable dust. The service, while kind and friendly, had some issues with English communication. The location was convenient being near two subway stations, but it was somewhat noisy at night. The dining experience was average, requiring a trip to a different suburb for breakfast. Overall, it was a decent stay with a good balance of comforts and drawbacks.
I found the hotel to be a great choice for my stay. The rooms were very clean and calming, although it was a bit dry indoors, making me feel slightly dehydrated. The service was really kind and the staff spoke communicable English, which was very helpful. The location, especially being near two subway stations, was what I liked the most despite being in a somewhat backward area. The dining options included traditional fish and took me to a different suburb for breakfast. Overall, it was of great value considering the price and location.
