The Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|1.1km from Gwangjang Market
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 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|1.7km from Gwangjang Market
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

Myeong-dong Seoul|1.72km from Gwangjang Market
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.

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|0.93km from Gwangjang Market
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|0.96km from Gwangjang Market
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

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|1.06km from Gwangjang Market
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.

It was also good in the new year-it was bigger than I thought it was a room and toilet, it was clean and very good ... the heating was good and the room was warm and the employees were very kind-in the need As soon as I gave it, the employee gave me a new year's greeting as soon as I gave it (laughs) The station Iran was a bit morguin, but I made a reservation at the market report on the square, so I was not so annoyed When I checked in at the day market, I ate as much as possible with my friends, ate and wrap it, and went to the hotel room to eat it. It seems like I just ate it in the new year.

HOTEL U5

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|0.36km from Gwangjang Market
There was a handsome guy at the front desk who could speak Chinese, so when I checked in in the afternoon, he was very smooth and very welcoming. I would like to thank him! The hotel is also well-equipped. A form will be issued when you check in, and the things to note are clearly stated on it. When you come back from playing every day, you will bring a few bottles of water. The front desk is also very welcoming. At night, I went to the rooftop to watch the night view. There are no people in the gym and laundry area, but they are quite clean. You can store your luggage temporarily. There are slippers, towels, bath towels, clothes hangers, hair dryer, shower gel, and shampoo in the room. You need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. The room is not big, but it is quite comfortable to live in. It is very close to Gwangjang Market, Dongdaemun, and Myeongdong. It is basically within walking distance. The room was photographed when the refund was made.

OYO hostel Dongdaemun 1

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|0.39km from Gwangjang Market
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
Travelodge Dongdaemun Seoul

Travelodge Dongdaemun Seoul

Dongdaemun Market Seoul|0.45km from Gwangjang Market
Room was quite small. Make sure you're very comfortable with whomever you're sharing the room with because the shower and toilet are in frosted glass stalls with minimal ventilation. You can see peoples' silhouettes quite clearly through the glass. The toilet paper also felt cheap and thin. The carpet was stained so we definitely didn't walk around without slippers on (provided in the room). My suitcase fit perfectly under the bed which made it easier to navigate the room. There is a fridge and one complimentary bottled water. No full-length mirror. They provide luggage storage if you arrive earlier than check-in. The rooftop garden on the 21st floor was very lovely, and we had late night chicken and drinks up there. No conditioner, toothbrush, or toothpaste (available for purchase in the lobby). There was a luggage scale on the first floor by the elevators which was convenient because I ended up having to repack my bags after checking the weight (which is definitely preferable to doing it at the airport!). The staff were friendly and provided extra towels upon request.

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.

The nearest station of the hotel, the Branch 4 Street, is available on the subway ２ and ５. Just leave the Branch 4 Street Station ４ exit and turn right to the alley a little ahead of the convenience store (CU). The ５ floor and ６ floor of the miscellaneous building, which is written as ”Korea Building Korea B.D.G”, are accommodations. This was the first time a solo trip abroad, but I was able to go without hesitation. There is a seikei gawa River near the hotel, and if you walk along the river, there is a shop of the hirozo market (kuangjansijan), and if you walk through the alley, there is a shop of the Yoshiyama general market (pansanchong hassijan) It was fun to walk in the gap time. There was no smell that was concerned, no air dryness hurting my throat, and I was able to sleep at night. (if the weak throat is going to be in the season using air conditioning, it may be better to take drying measures.) Also, there is a water server in the hallway of the hotel I didn't have to buy mineral water at the convenience store and was saved. The shower was large and small and I didn't know how to use it. I couldn't use only one hot water from both. Fixed large shower and small shower that can move freely, both from Davadaba 〜 and hot water. I thought that it would be okay if the hot water came out properly, and I didn't ask the front desk in particular, and I used it as it was, but it was a mysterious specification. If you are concerned, you may want to check it in advance. The front desk was relieved because I had a person who could speak Japanese at check-in and check-out. Thank you for your warm response!

What did I enjoy? 1) Equipped studio 2) very hospital and helpful owner with good English 3) location - very close to everything . Download Naver Map to orient. Google maps do not work, while Naver shows even night buses. 4) accessible terrace with amazing view. 5) heating floors. 6) you can open the windows and enjoy the stream view, if you are lucky to have the respective room!! What did I not enjoy? (all personal) 1) the mattress was hard. as I've read it is common in Korea, but if you fancy drowning in the soft welcoming mattress, this is not an option 2) I don't know how it works in the winter, but the only heating stuff are floors, which work when you are in only, and a superpowerful red-light heating device on top of the mirror. In the middle of November, it was already chill. An owner has kindly provided with an extra blanket, though 3) the bathroom is not really convenient. After you take a shower, everything is wet, so if you come back, you need to either throw towels on the floor or put on bathroom flipflops 4) towels are good and soft but it was no big towel to be wrapped in after the shower. Only small 'hand' size. Bring you own big towel then) 5) the room was desribed as 22 sqm, but it was smaller. Still enough space for luggage and walking around without bamping into other things. In Common, I would totally recommend this location and this owner! It was very convenient, pleasant and joyful!!! When I am back in Seoul, i will try to stay there again! Thank you!

Don't expect a ”luxury hotel” at this price, but the Lis Hotel is really good value for money. The hotel is centrally located and can easily reach anywhere in the city. It is very easy to walk to the nearest subway station (Line 1, Exit 1). There are also many small restaurants, cafes and food shops in the surrounding area. We stayed a few nights in a standard single room. The room was very small but air-conditioned, large flat-screen TV and refrigerator. Although there are some minor troubles (the shower water pressure is low and there is no international TV channel ...), I would recommend Li's Hotel to all friends looking for a good location with reasonable prices.

The overall environment of the homestay is good, the room space is relatively small, the bunk we live in, the bed and quilt we live in are not too comfortable to sleep. Overall it's ok, similar to a youth hostel. The boss is very enthusiastic and helped us solve many problems. Gwangjang Market is across from the door
