Top Dongdaemun Design Plaza Hotel Reviews

Acube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great! Hotel was very clean & beds were very comfortable! WiFi was not very good unless you were in the lobby. Staff was extremely friendly & helpful, lobby had free lockers for early check in or out. 10/10 recommended!"

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean large efficiency room, great location, nice large breakfast buffet. Close to subway and Seoul Station high speed train."

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."
