Hotels near Gwangjang Market, Seoul

"The room was generally clean and tidy. The front desk staff spoke Chinese, and everyone was very polite. The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the nearest metro station. Also, this hotel doesn't use key cards; you have to enter a code for the elevator and to get into your room."

"The location was amazing, plenty of good food around and walkable distance to 2 stations. There's also 2 convenient stores nearby ＜5mins! The room was clean and just nice to store 2 luggages! Everything was clean and comfortable. There is also water, coffee machine, washer and dryer and instant noodle machine on every level too. 10/10 would definitely come back here to stay, the staffs here also speak good English and are super helpful!"

"Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun is an amazing hotel! It is about a 10 minutes walk to 2 different subway stations. There are also plenty of eateries and coffee kiosks nearby. The breakfast spread is also great, there is a great mix of Korean and international food. For smokers, there is a smoking lounge of every floor of the hotel. There is also a communal kitchen on every floor, you can get those famous Korean instant noodles from the convenience store at the lobby and have the noodles in the kitchen. Room size is decent, my trip was 8 days with lots of shopping and there was still enough space to open 4 luggage. And Dongdaemun is an area that becomes lively at night, and the huge wholesale centers are right next door. Oh yes you can see the Cheonggyecheon stream from the room window, depending on which wing you are staying at. There is also a fantastic view from the hotel breakfast restaurant. And you can walk to Gwangjang Market. There are so many good things about this hotel!"

"I was really pleasantly surprised by my solo trip to Seoul and choosing to stay in a single room at this hotel! The room was incredibly clean and hygienic; the cleaning staff did a thorough job, which made me feel safe and relaxed the moment I walked in. The single room's layout was well-designed and cozy, and the bed and facilities met all the needs of a solo traveler, providing an excellent resting environment. The overall stay was fantastic, and for this quality, the price was very affordable – the value for money is simply unbeatable. Furthermore, the hotel's common kitchen thoughtfully provides free tea bags and coffee, so you can always brew a hot drink. This adds a lovely touch of warmth while traveling. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a solo trip to Seoul!"

"Hygiene: The room was cleaned very well, almost like a Japanese-style hotel. Facilities: The lobby offers complimentary ice and coffee. There's also free filtered ice water available on each floor, which is very convenient. Ice water is definitely a must-have in Seoul during the summer. Location: It's about a 10-minute walk from DDP, and there are subway stations both in front and behind the hotel, making transportation easy."

"Because my trip was quite rushed this time, I started booking very late. The hotels I'd stayed in before had significantly increased their prices. I stumbled upon this place by chance and, although I was a bit apprehensive, overall I was very satisfied. First off, the location is right by the Dongdaemun subway station exit (not Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, don't get them confused). It's just a hundred meters from exits 6 and 7. The entrance is large with a prominent sign, making it relatively easy to find. The front desk is on the third floor, accessible by elevator. Although there's no Chinese speaker, and we don't speak Korean, basic English was enough to communicate. We checked in at 3 PM and left our luggage at the front desk before heading out to shop. Once in the room, the two large beds were indeed comfortable, but the overall space was quite small, especially the bathroom, which was a bit tricky to navigate. I'd say it was just adequate. 😓 There's a public laundry room with a washer and dryer. In the summer, being able to wash clothes daily meant I had clean clothes for my return trip, which was great. Just remember to check the operating hours. The restaurant is quite spacious, with instant noodles and a coffee machine, both available 24 hours. During breakfast hours, there are simple items like bread, butter, milk, jam, etc. I'm not sure why they weren't available on Saturday and Sunday, and I felt a bit awkward asking. There's also a public terrace on the fourth floor. It's very pleasant to be up there on a nice day, and there's a bar next to it with coffee, drinks, and tea. Overall, it was pretty good, and I would book it again if I have the chance."

"I stayed for 3 nights from August 8th. It was a very comfortable inn with warm hospitality. **Room (Room 202) and Facilities** The room (Room 202) only has a shower. The room has a charming tea room space, but since there's a separate dining table, we only used the tea room for photos and not for meals. As it's a self-service hotel, we changed our own towels and linens. The room comes with cooking utensils and a fully automatic washing machine (with drying function), which was incredibly helpful as we could wash and dry our clothes worn that day. This eliminated the need for a huge laundry session after returning home. **Breakfast and Common Area** The booking site stated 'Western-style, à la carte,' but it's actually self-service toast, cereal, milk, and coffee. As long as you know that, it's perfectly fine. While there's a designated breakfast time, the toast, cereal, milk, and coffee machine are available 24/7, which was very convenient. Ramen is also available, but it's not free; you deposit 4,000 won into a safe. **Owner's Kind Service** When I brought back some delicious soupless ramen that I had sampled, I asked the owner how to prepare it, and they kindly made it for me. This warm hospitality during my trip became a wonderful memory. **Excellent Location** Seven-Eleven, MEGA COFFEE, the subway station, and the airport bus stop are all within a 5-minute walk. There are also local eateries right next door, so dining and shopping are no problem. I definitely want to bring Japanese souvenirs when I visit Korea again!"

"I stayed at 3 different hotels during my 10-day trip to Korea, and this one absolutely deserves a great review. **Environment**: Quiet and safe. Compared to similarly priced hotels, the room here is genuinely much bigger. **Facilities**: Comprehensive. The washing machine was very convenient, and it even came with detergent. There's also a separate communal dining area. **Cleanliness**: Very clean, tidy, and no strange odors, nor any lingering renovation smell. **Service**: Exceptional. Calls are always answered, and if you don't know how to use something, someone will teach you. Everyone always has a smile on their face. For the same price point, or even a slightly higher one, I highly recommend choosing this hotel."

"The hotel's location is decent, right near Dongdaemun. The Airport Limousine bus 6001 takes about an hour and a half to get directly to the vicinity. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic, and the lobby looked alright. The only thing I have to say is that the room was tiny! And they gave me a room on an upper floor, without a full-length window, and there was a huge pillar, which was very frustrating. What was even more frustrating was the bathroom; it didn't have a wet/dry separation, so water from the shower splashed directly onto the sink area. The bathroom was already small, and taking a shower practically flooded the place. Plus, the floor drain was located under the sink, which is just… indescribable. If I hadn't booked it on a whim, I absolutely wouldn't stay here again. Breakfast was okay, but it was very crowded. Overall, avoid this place!"

"Facilities: The in-room Wi-Fi was spotty and not very reliable. Cleanliness: The hygiene was excellent, and the room was cleaned thoroughly. Ambiance: It had a great atmosphere. Service: Every staff member was smiling and greeted me proactively. There were issues with the toilet and air conditioning during my stay, both of which were resolved."
