Billz Hotel Dongdaemun

I booked this hotel for a date with my husband in Dongdaemun, Seoul, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The moment we entered the room, the clean and modern interior left a great first impression. The bedding and every corner of the room were impeccably clean and well-organized, making our stay very comfortable. The bathroom was also well-stocked with towels and basic amenities, so we had no inconveniences during our stay. The location was incredibly convenient for getting around, with easy access to major attractions like Dongdaemun Market, Gwangjang Market, and Bangsan Market. Plus, there's a bus stop just a 3-minute walk away, which was really handy! Even though it's an unstaffed accommodation, it was so pleasant that I would definitely like to stay here again if I'm ever in the Dongdaemun area!

Booked this hotel for a long-awaited catch-up with a friend, planning to chat and have a beer in peace. Two 'ajummas' (middle-aged women) on a Seoul outing, we were looking for a place to sleep for the night and found this. We met up in the heart of Seoul, had a great time, and then headed back to sleep. Great value for money. It was clean and quiet, so we had a comfortable rest before checking out. Check-in and check-out were both self-service. The lobby had a drink dispenser and a coffee machine, and inside the room, everything from the entrance and table to the chargers was thoughtfully set up, which made our stay very convenient.

I chose a hotel near Dongdaemun for my trip to Seoul because I wanted to visit Wakkubol, Bolkku, Jongmyo Shrine, Dongdaemun Market, and the Stationery Street. This place was close to all these spots, had a great price, and was very clean, so my two-day stay was excellent! There are three parking spaces in front of the accommodation, and self-check-in made the process super easy and convenient! The interior was clean, and the bedding was spotless, which made for a comfortable night's sleep. There was also a small table and chairs, perfect for a quick drink in the evening. They provided all the necessary toiletries, so you really don't need to bring your own. I was even touched to find a hair straightener! Each floor has an extra towel cabinet, so you can grab more towels if needed. The self-service bar was also very convenient, with drinks, water, coffee, and a microwave available.

First of all, the location was great because it was close to markets and Jongmyo Shrine, and also close to bus stops. It's perfect for travelers on foot… The room itself was clean and suitable for one or two people. The bed and bedding were fluffy, and I slept like a baby, haha. Also, having water, ice, and a microwave right on the 2nd floor was super convenient. I highly recommend it.

I visited Seoul by train and stayed here. It was great that it's close to Cheongnyangni Station. It's also close to Dongdaemun Market, Gwangjang Market, etc., and around Cheongnyangni, I explored Gyeongdong Market and the food alley, which made planning my itinerary easy. There are many diverse restaurants nearby, and most of them are famous spots, so I didn't have to worry much about food. The accommodation itself is generally clean and quiet. The bedding and bathroom were clean and odorless. The self check-in and check-out at the kiosk on the first floor was contactless and not complicated at all. Parking seems to be available for up to 3 cars, including one compact car, right in front of the hotel. I had a comfortable and relaxing stay for a low price. I think I'll use this place again whenever I visit Seoul.

This is an honest review of my direct experience, even though it was a sponsored stay. I visited for a business trip, and in conclusion, with free Wi-Fi and a computer, it was an excellent environment for a quiet 'hocance' (hotel vacation) where I could work peacefully alone. [Service and Amenities] ⭐⭐⭐ It's self-check-in, and I imagine some people might feel uncomfortable presenting their ID at a kiosk due to privacy concerns. As a traveler, I've often booked under an English name and stayed in many hotels where staff verified my identity at the desk. So, I was flustered when I later found out that check-in was *only* possible via ID at the kiosk. You *must* book under the name on your ID! This couldn't be modified or canceled, which caused a bit of trouble, but they eventually accepted my change request after I spoke through the sponsoring agency. Please note that once booked, modifications and cancellations are absolutely not allowed! In the end, I managed to check in at the kiosk without issues. Towels and basic amenities were well-provided, so I experienced no discomfort during my stay. There are chargers, water, and a coffee machine on the 2nd floor. [Location and Accessibility] ⭐⭐⭐⭐ While not directly subway-connected, its location near Dongdaemun made public transportation very convenient. It's easy to get to surrounding commercial areas and major attractions, making it a perfect location for travel or business trips. [Room Condition and Cleanliness] ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perhaps because it's a new hotel that opened in 2025, the overall facilities were very clean and modern. I stayed in a standard room, and the interior was tidy, and the bedding was soft, allowing for a pleasant and restful sleep. The cleaning was meticulously done, even in the corners, which I appreciated. However, I did notice some signs of use here and there on the table and in the bathroom, and I wouldn't say it was 100% spotless, but that might vary by room. Overall, it was clean. [Overall Review and Revisit Intention] I visited on a weekday, which allowed for a much more relaxed stay. If you're looking for a good value-for-money accommodation near Dongdaemun in Seoul, I recommend Bills Hotel.

I stayed here for a meeting nearby, and it was really clean. I enjoyed a relaxing half-bath in the tub, which was lovely. A lot of places nowadays have translucent bathroom doors, but this one was completely opaque, which is great because it won't be awkward if I come with a friend later. It's also close to the market, so it was perfect for buying food there and then relaxing while watching Netflix. There was no smell of cigarettes, and the whole place was generally spotless. It's self-check-in, and it was convenient that I could get more towels if needed. The bed was super comfy, and I slept like a baby. There were plenty of disposable amenities, so I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I would definitely consider coming back if I need accommodation in the area again! Haha.

After hanging out in Dongdaemun with my high school friend for the first time in a while, we didn't want to say goodbye, so we ended up staying at Bills Hotel together. It was great for parking, and the self check-in was convenient, as was checking out. The room location was good, too. There were signs everywhere, so I didn't get lost, and it was easy to turn on the Wi-Fi, air conditioner, and TV – excellent! I also loved that there were various disposable amenities neatly provided in a box; you could really feel the owner's thoughtfulness. Very good! I came with no high expectations, but it was surprisingly excellent. The value for money is so good that I'd love to stay here again next time I'm in Seoul. Overall, it felt like a very clean and well-maintained accommodation. There's a convenience store nearby and many restaurants, which was great for dining. Plus, the soundproofing was excellent, so I could rest peacefully and quietly. Even though it was a standard room, it had a large flat-screen TV and free access to OTT services, which was perfect for relaxing and watching TV in the evening. Next time I come to Seoul, I'd like to stay here again with my friend. I highly recommend it if you're visiting Seoul for travel or business. Great!

Just checked in and the room is this dirty? I messaged housekeeping to clean it, and they said it wouldn't be until tomorrow. Then they tried to argue that it was my own hair?? What about the stains on the sheets? And the toilet wasn't even properly cleaned, there were still tissue scraps around it.
