The hotel is in an excellent location, right in front of Dongdaemun Station Exit 7, and only a 4-minute walk from the airport bus stop (6002). It’s very convenient for getting around, and nearby attractions like Cheonggyecheon Stream, Gwangjang Market, Chicken Soup Alley, Dongmyo, and the Yellow House are all within walking distance. At night, I enjoyed walking along the stream, and the Dongdaemun night view from my room was beautiful and relaxing. The rooms are newly renovated, clean, and comfortable. The bedding was cozy, and having an elevator made it much easier to manage luggage compared to a nearby hostel I stayed at before. The hotel also offers luggage storage, which was very convenient. I really appreciated the free amenities: coffee machine (the coffee was good!), ice, microwave, and even a ramen machine. There’s a self-service laundry where you can buy detergent at the front desk for ₩3,000. The staff were professional, kind, and helpful, speaking English, Japanese, and Chinese. They even assisted me with printing when needed. Other conveniences include a large TV with free Netflix, a The hotel exchange/charging machine in the lobby, and a convenience store and Lotteria right next door. Breakfast is provided free from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m., which is perfect for a light and easy start to the day. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay with a great location, clean rooms, helpful amenities, and friendly staff. I would definitely return and recommend it.

This trip to Seoul, I chose to stay at the Dongdaemun Tourist Hotel, and the overall experience was very satisfying. I recommend it. Firstly, the hotel's location is excellent. It's just a few minutes' walk to the subway station and Dongdaemun shopping district, making it convenient for shopping, sightseeing, or visiting other attractions in Seoul. There are also many restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores around the hotel, and it's safe to go out at night with a lot of travelers. Next, the room environment surprised me greatly. The room is clean and tidy, with a reasonable layout and ample space. The bed is soft and comfortable, and the pillows and blankets are also very clean, allowing me to sleep well every day. Now let's talk about the hotel's service. The front desk staff are very professional and friendly, handling check-in and check-out procedures quickly. Staff can also communicate in Chinese, English, and Japanese, making it very convenient for foreign tourists. They also enthusiastically provided a lot of travel information and transportation advice, saving me a lot of time. Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM, offering a simple breakfast that is particularly suitable for replenishing energy before going sightseeing. The overall environment within the hotel is quiet and comfortable, ensuring good rest quality even near the bustling Dongdaemun. Overall, this is a very cost-effective hotel. Whether it's the location, environment, or service, I am very

Great location. Near Dongdaemun station, and right next to the west gate of Seoul's old city wall — very scenic. Simple lodgings, good deal for the money.

家族5人での宿泊でしたが、ダブルベッド1台とシングルベッド3台の客室は大型スーツケースを広げても余裕があり、十分な広さでした。室内は清掃が行き届いており、非常に清潔感があります。 【朝食について】   - 韓国のインスタントラーメン（3種類ほど）やパン、シリアルなどの軽食スタイルですが、味は美味しかったです。   - ただし、会場が狭いため、混雑時には食べるスペースが不足しがちな点は少し気になりました。 【スタッフ・サービス】   - フロントスタッフの方はほとんど日本語で対応してくださり、一部難しい内容も英語で補完できたため、非常に安心感がありました。   - 無料で利用できるランドリーが非常に便利です。洗濯機が2台、乾燥機が2台ありました。通常の洗濯モードでは完了までに2時間程度（洗濯量による）かかるため、時間に余裕を持って利用することをお勧めします。 【少し気になったこと】   - トイレが詰まりやすいため、使用済みのトイレットペーパーを流さずゴミ箱に捨てるようにと案内文に書かれていました。このホテルの独特の取扱いではなく韓国ソウルの事情かもしれませんが、少し抵抗感がありました。 いくつか気になる点も挙げましたが、総じて大満足の滞在でした。次回もぜひこちらのホテルに宿泊したいと考えています。

日本語を話せるスタッフがいらっしゃったのでとても助かりました。スタッフは常に親切で丁寧です。部屋は広くはありませんが必要なものはすべて揃っていました。ベッドやリネン類、風呂タブのある洗面室は清潔で気持ちよく使用できました。一つ注意しないといけないのがホテル名です。Dongdaemun Tourist Hotelなのですが実際はDongdaemun Hotelと建物には表記されています。地下鉄出口7番を出て地上に出ましたらすぐです。Touristの文字は抜けていますのでくれぐれもご注意を。
