Top Dongdaemun History Museum Hotel Reviews

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay closing to transit stations to key destination. We were staying at the premier residence room and were delighted with the size and facilities in the room though didn’t use it much as family was out and about shopping. Missus though cheekily mentioned the famed Korean beauty products were amiss from the room amenities."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"There is an offer for a free wow pass and hotel benefits like first free laundry cycle if you join their membership, and I would HIGHLY recommend getting it! The wow pass acts like a t-money card which was SUPER useful for travelling around, and there's a wow pass ATM on the first floor so you can use the card like a debit card. We ended up using the card at a few merchants, and was able to fill up the t-money card with my credit card this way through the app. The hotel staff were super helpful, and the free short term luggage storage WITH LOCKS was so convenient and useful! Best of all, when we were having a short stay in Jeju, and returning back to the hotel, I was able to store my luggage with them for the days we were away. The hotel was SUPER clean, everything is so well thought out. Free slippers, and on rainy days they have umbrellas by the door available to use. Location is SUPER convenient. Right by myeongdong shopping (less than 10min walk) and less than 5 min walk from the airport bus station and the the subway line entrance is less than a minute away. LOVED the 7-11 right in the hotel itself. If shopping is your main goal, this is the place to stay!"

New Blanc Central Myeongdong

8/10 Good

"For me, the hotel can almost make or break a holiday, so I will give as much info here as I can to help other travellers! ❤️ Overall we had a great time. The hotel is nice and modern and except for our last night was very quiet. The last night was horrible. It had been cold and windy the day before, so I’m not sure if something came lose, but ALL night we would randomly here a sound like a basketball being dropped (BANG, BANg, BAng, Bang, bang…..) it happened every 2-10ish minutes and it woke us up constantly. It was awful. 😞 we told reception and they said they would investgate Other notes: - free laundry, excellent clean machines!! - the breakfast is bad. It’s cooked ahead of time, is VERY salty, and the “warm” dishes were cold. It’s okish for the jet lagged first morning, but skip it after!!! - the cafe on the second floor was closed the 7 days we were there - the rooftop patio is AWESOME, and the perfect place to take a mid-afternoon rest. We got drinks and snacks from nearby conbinis and played a game nearly every afternoon before going out for dinner - the housekeeping was excellent and they gave us fresh towels every day! - the reception was very friendly and helpful - the entryway to the room has an automatic light that you can’t turn off that will wake everyone up so no midnight washroom breaks! - there are TONS of little LED lights around the room, you can’t make it very dark so best to bring a sleep mask If it hadn’t been for the awful last night, 10/10!"
