Top Dongdaemun History Museum Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Although no dryer for the washing machine, they provide a clothes rack to hang clothes. Very clean and easy access to everything!!"

NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL DONGDAEMUN

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Nine Tree was excellent. At first, the Junior Double was too tiny for two people. It might be just spacious for one person. We had to upgrade to double twin which was much more spacious for two people. The hotel was so accommodating and our room was upgraded with no extra charge with a better view to the park. Mr. Kim was very understanding and helpful. The cleaning staff were very friendly. Overall, I would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul."

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"Very Clean and comfortable, bed and comforter were both very comfy. Ideal location for all subway lines."

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic stay at the Shilla. The food, service and facilities were excellent. Highly recommend!"

Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemun

8/10 Good

"Great location. Options for late check out. Happy to have an air filter and humidifier available in the room. Housekeeping was not consistent. Area under the beds had not been cleaned in some time."

Travelodge Dongdaemun Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable to sleep on. The location was also close to the bus stop and subway station which made transportation very easy."

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Great amenities in premier room"

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."
