Top Dongdaemun Design Plaza Hotel Reviews

Acube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful and accommodating staff. Would stay here again!!!"

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staffs and clean room."

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."

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."

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."

K-Grand Hotel DDP

10/10 Excellent

"Trés bien placé, chambre renovée et propre. Personnel a l’accueil trés agreable. Eau et café a disposition. Je recommande sans hesiter !"
