Top Heunginjimun Gate Hotel Reviews

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"We are a family of 4 who spent a week in Seoul, touring the city and its nearby sites. Novotel met all our needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The hotel is closed to a subway and a night market around the corner, so it's very convenient to get from one place to another. Breakfast was buffet-style, serving varying Asian/Western options. The soup noodle was my favorite. Thanks Novotel for making our stay in Seoul so enjoyable, will definitely book with you whenever we are back in Seoul."

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."

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL DONGDAEMUN

10/10 Excellent

"It was my second time staying at this hotel. Same as last time, very pleased with the overall experience - very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, useful amenities, well-maintained facilities, and convenient location. Will consider choosing it again next time."

Dongdaemun Stay Garden

10/10 Excellent

"the host was extremely helpful and would go again."

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfectly located hotel. Airport bus stop and lift to metro lines literally at door. Lovely, comfortable big rooms and enjoyed the pyjamas & bathroom. Staff polite and attentive with any query. Would certainly stay here again if in Seoul."

Uljiro Co-Op Residence

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Unbelievably wonderful, polite, respectful and professional team right from the start of our stay till the last moment. Truly appreciated the warm welcome by Sophie and reception (really kind and professional individual). Also the early check in was really helpful and we really appreciated it, around our plans on the day. The level and quality of the facilities were exquisite; particularly the swimming pool and sauna facilities. The gentleman at the restaurant on the 2nd floor by the name of Justin was so professional and friendly. Equally the gentleman at the front door by the name of David, kindly helped us with every single one of our luggage and put them inside the taxi. We really were treated like VIP. Thanks a million to each and every individual for making our stay truly exceptional; we sure will come back again in the future. I’d highly recommend this hotel to whoever is visiting Seoul."

Travelodge Dongdaemun Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Travelodge Dongdaemun! The location is ideal—it’s centrally situated, so you’re never far from the Dongdaemun Market, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and all the downtown sights. Plus, being close to several subway lines made getting anywhere in Seoul super easy. The room was basic, but it was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. After being outside in the heat and humidity all day, coming back to a room with great, individually controlled air conditioning was a lifesaver for a peaceful night's sleep. The front desk staff was also very helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend if you want a clean, convenient base for exploring Seoul!"

Dongdaemun Tourist Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here. Close to multiple train and bus stations, shopping and food. Staff was friendly, room was clean and bed were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit"
