The Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|2.01km from Ihwajang
Service staff (Jayden Park) was very unfriendly and unhelpful , when we asked him to point out to us , the location of the bus stop which would lead us to the airport limousine bus (to Incheon airport). We were very lost as tourists and did not know Korean language at all, and the need to know the exact bus stop point (in order not to miss our flight) is of utmost importance . The counter staff Jayden Park also gave us a very unwelcoming and unfriendly look when we insisted for his help to show us the bus stop location (which he reluctantly did after our many attempts , which was a very stressful experience for me as a tourist), it made me feel insecure and an immense upset feeling , totally unexpected for a five star Pullman hotel standard. Please review your counter staff performance . Not recommended for tourists.
The Shilla Seoul

The Shilla Seoul

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|2.48km from Ihwajang
The hotel staff are incredibly friendly, polite and helpful, they really make you feel like home at the hotel. The housekeeping attendant is meticulous, with high attention to details in her work and keep the room clean to the highest standard, never seen this in any of the other top rated hotels. Important to mention that both current and past Chinese leaders stayed in this establishment during their various visits to Korea. The services in this hotel are just top of the class.
Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower
4.6/537 Reviews

Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower

Myeong-dong Seoul|2.65km from Ihwajang
Stayed at the Lotte Executive Tower just after the holidays, in a Premier Double Room. Pros: - The entrance of the Executive Tower is absolutely beautiful. Same with the Main Tower. Elegant, refined, beautiful art work. The executive tower check-in desks are on the 15th floor. - Easy access by escalator directly into the Lotte Department Store (from where the escalator takes you to, hang a right to get to the famous food hall!) - Location can’t be beat. Directly across from Eujiro Station (1) and around the corner from Myeong-Dong Walking Street / Night Market and several 7-11s (which are almost as good as the 7-11s in Japan). - Our room was beautiful, spacious, thoughtfully designed and decorated. Very modern touches and upscale finishes. A chandelier in the bathroom?? - Immaculate housekeeping. - Excellent temperature and very strong water pressure in the shower! - Appreciate the 2 complimentary bottles of Evian every day. - Fast wifi speeds. Cons: - Love the Diptyque toiletries but wish they weren’t the communal / shared bottles. There were bits of dried lotion crusted on the pump from the previous occupant. - Weird that neither lobby had a single chair to sit on. What’s up with that? Comes off a bit inhospitable. This isn’t the type of place to attract non-guests / loiterers. A bench wouldn’t kill anyone! - For a 5* hotel and the price we’re paying, it’s disappointing that there is a surcharge should you need a toothbrush, toothpaste or use of the sauna (!!). They claim the charge for toothbrush and paste is to prevent wastage but surely you could just have these small items available upon request at the front desk? - The doormen’s manners range from formal and friendly (some) to indifferent (most) to downright hostile (many), especially if you are not a Korean speaker, as many don’t speak English. I’m not arrogant enough to think they should speak English in a non-English speaking country, but a smile is universal, you know? Would likely stay here again at the right price and given the location.
Lotte Hotel Seoul

Lotte Hotel Seoul

Myeong-dong Seoul|2.66km from Ihwajang
The hotel was clean and organized. The front desk was helpful and their were ladies that helped us to deliver our suitcases. I am not sure what their titles were but I just found that it was rather odd since most hotels in North America hired young men to do this. Kudos to the hotel for not type casting roles. The location was very good. The downstairs food court and restaurant was very tasty and clean. I would definitely go back to this hotel if I am ever in Korea again.

Sotetsu Hotels the Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemun

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|1.51km from Ihwajang
The hotel location is perfect and it is right infront of the lift exit 4 from DDP train station. It has airport bus stop right in front of the hotel to Incheon Airport. It may take 2 hours traveling time to airport because the bus will drop by many places around Seoul before heading to airport. The room is spacious and clean.

Toyoko Inn Seoul Dongdaemun I

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|1.52km from Ihwajang
It's a good hotel on a budget. Has a very homely breakfast and water dispenser to fill up your bottles with ice and water. Also has robes to use as pyjamas. Very no frills. Don't expect service from the staff. We expected to be able to check in earlier when we reached if the room was available. We reached only about 15mins to our check in time but were told to wait at the lobby till 1600. I am not sure what the fixation is about for the check in time. If the room is available, then let the guest have it. First time we have experienced this in any country.
Summit Hotel Dongdaemun

Summit Hotel Dongdaemun

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|1.76km from Ihwajang
Service was inconsistent - sometimes the staff were really nice and friendly and other times they were plain rude and disrespectful to you. When I first entered my room the smell took me aback. It smelled like a mix of sweat and wet socks. The sheets were crumpled and weren’t super clean either. The bathtub had yellow stains which threw me off as I was looking forward to a midnight soak. Basic amenities were given, which was great. The housekeeping ladies were really sweet as well. It’s a 5 minute walking distance to the train station so location was not so bad. Sadly I don’t think I’d book again as it was not that worth for the price.

Mayplace Hotel

University Road area Seoul|0.71km from Ihwajang
It's a difficult location to find. It might be easier to find it if you look for the Hyundai Headquarters or the Orakai Hotel across the street. There are several subway stations in the area, but they are all within a 15-minute walk. There is no bus stop nearby and there are various courses, so you need to do some research. There are three convenience stores within a four-minute walk. The front desk was nice, but the room was small and I didn't know if I had upgraded to a superior type room. It is a room that has been elaborated.

Orakai Daehakro Hotel
4.4/5113 Reviews

Orakai Daehakro Hotel

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|0.74km from Ihwajang
The hotel staff are polite and can communicate in simple English. The room is nice, with two tables, one high and one low, which is very convenient for placing items. But one thing to note is that there is no toothpaste or toothbrush provided. The disadvantage is that the location is too far from the Metro, so we have to live there. In addition, although the fitness room is large enough and well-equipped, there is also a Coin Laundry on the same floor, which is a pity. . . Both close at 22:00! For tourists traveling, it is too early to close! In addition, there were no towels provided in the fitness room. After asking the staff, they actually said that I had to bring my own towel. . . I would never choose to stay in this hotel again.

OYO hostel Dongdaemun 1

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|0.78km from Ihwajang
We got a budget twin room with a shared bathroom. The room was small but it had air con and was enough for two people. The bunk beds are kinda hard by western standards but the pillow and duvet is soft and comfy. The shared bathroom was a little dirty but it was fine with shampoo and shower gel provided. The roof terrace is nice and the free breakfast isn’t bad - toast and cereal (Frosties or chocolate hoops). About a 3 minute walk away from Jongno 5 metro station, however we’re pretty sure there are two *******s outside the hostel. They’re harmless but maybe not suitable if you have young kids

The hotel’s staff is very friendly, responsible, and helpful, we had a problem with the room and they solved it right away. The gym is really large and is equipped with lots of machines; there is even a separate room for yoga and stretching. The hotel is located next to the City Hall subway and the Deoksugung Palace; there are many places to eat nearby. It’s a fine place to stay while you are in Seoul.

Every time I go to South Korea, I live in their home, I can cook by myself, the boss speaks Chinese, it is safe to live there, the room is clean, and the toothpaste inside is very easy to use. I want to know where I bought the toothpaste? I originally planned to go to South Korea from March 13th to 17th. Now the epidemic situation can't be controlled. I'm really drunk. When the epidemic situation ends, I will fly to Korea and live in your home. I am used to a friendly shop.

The landlord speaks some Chinese and English and is also accessible. It's super close to Dongdaemun Station of Subway Line 4. It's not far from Gwangjang Market. It's a ten-minute walk. Very delicious. The hotel is clean. It is a bit like a homestay but very welcoming. Will consider staying here next time

The young lady at the front desk of the hotel is super good, and the booking on Ctrip is also very fast. We searched for several hotels, but they were all booked and refunded, and the online and offline were inconsistent. This one was booked online, and an email was sent immediately, very much. There is a convenience store around, and you can store your luggage in advance. It's very good. There is a big cockroach in the room, and the trembling slippers are killed. I still hope that the cleaning can be done. thanks
