Hotels near Dongdaemun Design Plaza Seoul

"The room was very cleaned, and cleaned every day of our stay. The staff were kind, helpful, and very informative about events or how to travel in the area. If I could stay longer, I would choose this hotel again. Check-in and Check-out were very simple, you can use either kiosk or front desk (if a person is there). Towels were changed everyday, room claned, garbage thrown away, and free water bottles. Very nice place. Thank you!"

"전체적으로 좋지만 조금더 디테일이 필요해 보입니다. 침구류는 깨끗해보이지만 약품냄새가 강하고 아마도 직원의 것이라 생각되는 머리카락들이 침대시트 위에 많이 떨어져 있었습니다. 클레임에대한 대응은 아주 만족스러웠습니다. 가격대비 숙소의 크기와 위치는 훌륭합니다. "

"Everything is near by from restaurants to stores to shop at. The subway station is literally a few blocks down. Such a quiet neighborhood & safe to walk around late at night.
