Top Korea University Hotel Reviews

Dongdaemun Stay Garden

Dongdaemun Stay Garden

8/10 Good
"This is a really nice place to stay as a solo traveler. There aren’t any amenities other than the kitchen in the hall. It’s in a great location to use the public transit. The airport taxi bus drops you off right in front of the hotel. It’s next to a 7eleven and pharmacy. Lots of fast food options and street food. They don’t clean rooms while you’re away but they are very clean when first checking in. The bathroom situation is interesting as it’s combined with the shower and toilet. If I was traveling with another person I’d probably go with a bigger room. It’s self check in but someone will be there to help with the process and bring bags up the stairs. I would stay here again if I was solo traveling to Seoul again."

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."

"This was a great place to stay for our first time visiting Seoul. The host Pony was very responsive and communicated with us through WhatsApp. They were able to help us in booking a pick up from the airport, which was well worth it as this was our first time visiting the city. The apartment was well furnished and had all the amenities we needed over the week that we stayed. A case of water was provided each time that the apartment was cleaned and having a washer was a major plus. The apartment is next to a supermarket and many restaurants across the street. Line 1 and 2 of the metro are accessible with a 10 to 15 minute walk. My family and I really enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again."
