"You cannot get dropped off by taxi in front of the hanok. You will have to take your suitcases down a couple alleys. The front door is an electric lock, the the individual rooms have a three number passcode on the outside and the "lock" for the inside is a spoon and door handle. Would work fine if it was group using all three rooms, but wouldn't recomend unless your prepped with extra security. Was very clean. Small fridge and sink which was nice. Tinier than I originally expected but worked...

Top Korea University Hotel Reviews

Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic three night stay at this property. The executive level room was perfect - the breakfast buffet came in so handy and the food was absolutely delicious. Happy hour in the executive lounge was also so wonderful to have when I didn't have the energy to go outside and explore - and the views of the city were incredible. I really enjoyed the outdoor pool and pool deck time, although was disappointed that it wasn't integrated with the rooftop bar. They are also very strict about the time limits on the pool The gym was well appointed and I made use of it several times - excellent selection of weights and cardio machines. The room itself was incredible - blackout blinds and perfectly silent rooms made sleeping easy. The giant bathtub was such a wonderful perk and I used it as much as I could. Only a 10 minute taxi to Seoul Station and well situated to access transit routes as well. Would definitely stay here again."

JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Unbelievably wonderful, polite, respectful and professional team right from the start of our stay till the last moment. Truly appreciated the warm welcome by Sophie and reception (really kind and professional individual). Also the early check in was really helpful and we really appreciated it, around our plans on the day. The level and quality of the facilities were exquisite; particularly the swimming pool and sauna facilities. The gentleman at the restaurant on the 2nd floor by the name of Justin was so professional and friendly. Equally the gentleman at the front door by the name of David, kindly helped us with every single one of our luggage and put them inside the taxi. We really were treated like VIP. Thanks a million to each and every individual for making our stay truly exceptional; we sure will come back again in the future. I’d highly recommend this hotel to whoever is visiting Seoul."

Residence Unicorn in Dongdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great place to stay for our first time visiting Seoul. The host Pony was very responsive and communicated with us through WhatsApp. They were able to help us in booking a pick up from the airport, which was well worth it as this was our first time visiting the city. The apartment was well furnished and had all the amenities we needed over the week that we stayed. A case of water was provided each time that the apartment was cleaned and having a washer was a major plus. The apartment is next to a supermarket and many restaurants across the street. Line 1 and 2 of the metro are accessible with a 10 to 15 minute walk. My family and I really enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again."
