"We were very pleased with the staff at the front desk. From check-in to check-out they helped with our requests. The breakfast area staff were diligently clearing the tables, refilling food and drinks and helping as they could with requests. We used the laundry and the area was kept clean by staff. The room cleaning were excellent with changing of the sheets and towel replacement and also the water bottles. This was our second visit and we would return."

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."
