Great staff, location, and very clean. I have stayed here many times on business in Korea, and would love to return to stay here again! This location is very convenient because there is a coach/ limo bus that goes directly from the airport to Dongdaemon Historic district which is about 100 feet from the hotel. There is also a subway stop out front, and plenty to walk to in the area. There is laundry, a nice gym and everything you need. Thank you again to the staff for a wonderful visit!
Loved the location and the fact that the airport bus stops right outside the hotel entrance. The subway exit is also right by the hotel, making it very accessible via public transport. It is vey close to pick up points (DDP) for local & day tours. Ice is available from the basement. It’s good that we could use the microwave too. Lots of good food and shopping around the vicinity. Markets are all within walking distance. Would not mind staying here again.
Excellent service, location and amenities. We were given a higher floor room that a view of DDP and the shopping centres nearby. Room was very spacious, bathroom is massive, with japanese style bidet toilet, and even provided humidifier and air purifier. While they do not provide toothbrushes due to government regulations, they do provide sachet makeup removers and facial cream. The hotel is also situated right in front of the lifts to the Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station and the bus stop for Airport Limousine Bus 6702, making it really convenient. They also provide free 24hr luggage lockers for hotel guests.
Overall, everything was fine except they should have an option to turn off the heater although it’s winter. We stayed on level 7 and the sounds and noise from the traffic was still very obvious.
The property was clean.
But issue is breakfast.
Foods are some what left from previous day.
Walked in the restaurant 7:05 am, right after the hotel open for breakfast but milk is almost gone, seemed previous days left over. Other food qualities were same.
Very blend dishes, not fresh.
Never going back. Not recommand at all.
Enjoyed staying at the property as it was conveniently located in Dongdaemun, specifically just outside exit 4 of Dongdaemun culture and history park station (there's an elevator which is a huge plus when you're bringing luggage). There are a few malls nearby (not glitzy like The Hyundai/ Lotte/ Shisegae), but with adequate shops to buy what you'd want form Korea. The Dongdaemun Design Plaza was also a surprising plus with the art/design exhibitions on display (helpful when the weather isn't so good for outdoor sightseeing).
Probably an improvement would be on the breakfast offerings. Would be great if there were changes day to day or perhaps a daily few special items that guests would be excited about.
We had trouble with ordering food and the receptionists were really helpful in helping us call up the restaurant and sort out our delivery. Highly recommend and the rooms are clean and large enough for 3 to 4 people.
Close to all attractions. staff was willing to show me how to use the kakao app to call taxi and how to get to places. Nice and clean room. Would stay again.
Excellent customer service from reception staff during check in and checkout. I booked 2 rooms for the stay (8 nights in total), something is always missing from room service. Except for maybe 2 nights both rooms are either missing towels, slippers, pj sets, and/or cream sets. I wish the room service staff could be more attentive. Beware if you require accessibility the hotel expects guests to hand squeeze shampoo conditioner and body wash from hard plastic tubes (pumps are not available). I would not recommend this place for anyone travelling with seniors or have accessibility needs.
