Top Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely stay here again! Check-in was incredibly easy and efficient. We were also able to check in earlier than the standard time by signing up for the hotel’s free loyalty program. The sign-up process was quick and painless, and it was well worth it for the added convenience of getting into our room early. The location is fantastic. The hotel is conveniently close to the train, making it easy to get around, and it’s also within easy reach of Myeongdong Night Market and Namdaemun Market. There were plenty of things to explore, eat, and shop for right nearby, which made the location especially convenient. Another great feature was the washer and dryer in the lobby. You do need cash to use them, but having laundry facilities right at the hotel was incredibly convenient. It meant we could wash clothes during our trip and avoid bringing a suitcase full of dirty laundry home! Our room also had exquisite views of the city and surrounding hills. Waking up to that scenery was definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall, this hotel offered a great combination of convenience, comfort, location, and thoughtful amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!"

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and tidied consistently, laundry facilities were helpful and convenient. Easy to manage and understand. Breakfast buffet variety was wide and worth the cost! Very close to bus and subway options"

Mangrove Dongdaemun - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Easy check-in process by scanning QR code in lobby. Uses we code for lift access/building security. Provided us with water when we arrived to our room. Two of us stayed in a room with a bunk bed, was comfortable. Clean communal areas with a few food options such as ramen to buy in kitchen areas. Very easy access to DDP subway station for getting around the city."

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun No.2

10/10 Excellent

"That was my another Toyoko stay. Compare to others that was not the best. Breakfast was OK but the room was not clean, hair was everywhere. Bed was comfortable, bigger then other hotels offered."

Hotel Stay In

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and helpful staff"

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.”"

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."

Youngbin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room is huge and everything perfect"
