"I strongly advise everyone to avoid booking this property. My stay here was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. 1. Poor Location: The hotel is NOT located in the main central area of Dongdaemun and is far from the nearest metro station. 2. Terrible Hygiene: The bathroom had a serious bug problem. 3. Major Safety Concerns: Someone pressed my doorbell in the middle of the night. To make matters worse, the door had no peep hole and no door security chain, making it impossible to see who...

Top University of Seoul Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"This is an awesome hotel. The breakfast with Western, Korean, Japanese and Chinese options is to die for. A wonderful culinary experience. The rooms are spacious and come with a washer and dryer combo, and other amenities. The hotel is closely situated to major Joseon-era palaces, shopping, and parks. Absolutely fabulous!"

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"

Arirang Hill Hotel Dongdaemun

8/10 Good

"It is well located. Buses and a metro station are nearby so it is very helpful."

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun No.2

8/10 Good

"Location was great"

Hotel Stay Yeoyu

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time in Korea and I didn’t know the language when I arrived so I was super intimidated. Upon arrival, the staff were so kind and helpful. They gave me a tour of the building and helped me with my luggage. I loved how clean everything was and it smelled lovely. Although the rooms are small, they’re very efficiently laid out. I went to a friend’s air bnb in Hongdae and I actually felt so much more cozy at Stay Yeoyu. I also wanted to note that staying in this location was really helpful. It was a quiet neighborhood surrounded by convenience stores and various coffee shops. I built a routine right away for the start of my day and would head to Wangsimi Station after my coffee at Compose. I genuinely was so bummed when I had to leave. I promised myself next time I’m in Seoul, I’d come back here. It truly felt like a lovely stay."

Anook Hotel and Spa Seoul Seongsu Konkuk University

8/10 Good

"Good establishment and concept for the price. Small room, but cozy. Very kind staff."

Dongdaemun Bellus Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Bellus Hotel in Seoul! The staff were absolutely excellent—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. They even offered us umbrellas when the weather turned rainy, which was such a thoughtful touch. The owner was especially welcoming. He took the time to sit with us in the lobby and have a conversation, making us feel truly at home rather than just like hotel guests. And I have to mention the tea in the lobby! It was delicious hot, but surprisingly, I enjoyed it even more cold. Such a lovely little touch that made the stay feel extra special. Overall, Bellus Hotel gave us a warm, personal Korean hospitality experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul! Olive young and dais were in walking distance"

Residence Unicorn in Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"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."
