"들어서면서부터 향기가 좋아서 만족했고 숙소가 가족들이 머물기 너무 좋았습니다. 욕조가 있어 여행후 반신욕으로 피로를 풀었고 입욕제도 제공해주어 정말 좋았습니다. 냉장고가 굉장히 커서 과일을 좋아하는 저희 가족에게 안성맞춤이었습니다. 그릇과 컵도 모두 예쁘고 다양해서 좋았고 무엇보다 숙소가 너무 편안하고 예뻐요!! 한국느낌을 살리면서도 편안함이 최고네요! 다도도 가능해서 아침마다 가족들과 다도를 즐겼어요. 오설록 티백을 제공해주시는게 대박인데 처음 먹어보는데 향이 너무 좋네요!! 다음에 서울 올일 있으면 무조건 이 숙소에 머물거에요!"

"以前より、韓屋に泊まってみたかった私でした。存分に雰囲気味わえました。チェックインはセルフでしたが(事前に詳しいやり方が知らされるので)問題なかったです。私が泊まった部屋は超コンパクト(TV無し)で一瞬戸惑いましたが、すぐに慣れて、時間がゆっくり流れる癒しの空間が帰る頃には心地よかったです。備品は、十分に補充出来ますし、軽食もフリーで頂けました。あと、立地が最高です！電車もバスも乗り場は近いし、東大門のショッピングセンターにも徒歩ですぐ行けるし、都会ソウルの癒しスポット「清渓川」もすぐそこです。韓国にはもう何回も行ってますが、今回のステイはその中でも上位に来るくらい魅力的でした。"

Top Dongdaemun Design Plaza Hotel Reviews

Hotel the Designers Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"We really liked the service and cleanliness . Very good location and wonderful staff."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Lotto Hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. The service throughout my stay was excellent and made me feel very comfortable. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options to start the day. The hotel’s location is also a major advantage, close to local markets, shopping, restaurants, and convenient transportation, making it easy to explore the city. I highly recommend Lotto Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay, great service, and a convenient location. I would happily stay here again."

The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, very high class. Not the most family oriented, but to be honest this is not the hotel to stay in when you have more than 1 child. Some areas of the hotel are not accessible depending on how you booked your stay or the package you choose. With that said, they did accommodate us a role away bed for our kids, offered an upgraded room for space, and even gave us a credit to be used for dinning or room service during our stay. They definitely went out of their way to make us feel important. The staff is amazing and the location is right by a train station to make visiting Seoul very easy. Highly recommended if it fits your needs. There is a reason it’s a Forbes 5 star hotel!"

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very clean and a good size. It was very conveniently ocated with easy access to the subway and airport shuttle service right outside the hotel. The staff was very helpful as well. The only complaint is that the food at the hotel restaurant was not the best. Although there is a nice cafe downstairs. But, that is a very minor issue."

The Summit Hotel Seoul Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Love the cafe and CU convenience store in the lobby. The housekeepers came every day to make our beds and clean up the room. The hotel is located in a less busy road but very easy to get around, plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Also love that the airport limousine bus stops right in front of the hotel. It was one of the reasons why I booked this hotel. Will definitely stay here again."
