Another win for Dormy Inn”

I usually don't pay any attention to the name brand of a hotel when I travel. But I stayed at Dormy Inn in Fukuoka and at the Seoul Garosugil location and when I saw this new location with the price, I jumped to book it for my recent trip to Seoul. Dormy Inn is a Japanese company. Not surprising, the rooms are small but clean and new. I'm willing to have a smaller room for the price they offer (I'm still surprised I paid around $50 a night here in the middle of Gangnam). The bed was comfortable. Glad they don't have the firm Asian style bed like some hotels. Like the other Dormy Inns, you get the free complimentary ramen at night which I took advantage of a couple of times. But, what I really like about Dormy Inn, is they have a spa/sauna. Maybe some people don't care, but I like to use it after a long day of walking around the city. Another plus is this hotel is right next door to Hotel Novotel which has a KAL Bus Stop which is so convenient. You don't need to fly on KAL to use.

Great location with outstanding facilities”

We split our stay in Seoul into 2 locations: Myeongdong and Gangnam. I picked Dormy Inn Seoul Gangnam because of the free breakfast, free ramen, self-serve laundry facilities and convenient locations to where we would be visiting during our stay in Gangnam. We were really satisfied with the widespread breakfast. Food was delicious and plentiful with changes in variety. We found that by eating a big breakfast and the free ramen, we were able to save money on meals by buying one large meal a day at lunch plus snacks of course. Who can resist Korean street food and snacks! We did not try the onsen but we saw people using it when doing our laundry. Love the self-serve laundry! We had a 23-day trip visiting South Korea and Hong Kong. Packing less clothing and doing laundry during the trip saved luggage for souvenirs. Washing is free and a small fee of 2000 won for drying. The machine has specific settings for delicate clothing items. Despite small room size, we highly recommend this hotel!

Friendly, helpful staff”

I have stayed in the Dormy Inn in Kyoto a few times. The one in Gangnam is similar in providing an excellent range of options at buffet breakfast and free noodles in the evening. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was bigger than expected. It was clean and well designed to maximise use of space. The beautifully designed spa is bigger than the one in Kyoto, with sauna, hot and cold baths and silky tub. The hotel is well located for food street nearby, with lots of vibrant restaurants and bars. It is also well located for subway and buses. We took the express metro train to Gimpo airport upon departure, which only took 30 minutes from Sinnonhyeon Station, which is a 5-10 minute walk from Dormy Inn. Seoul Arts Centre is also easy to access from the hotel. The hotel staff are very attentive and seem genuinely happy to be working there. Everyone smiled and welcomed us at breakfast. Both waiters and reception staff were incredibly helpful. Will stay again when in Seoul.

Excellent facilities - smaller rooms”

Dormy Inn takes the usual Japanese hotel approach of offering fairly small rooms and piling on the frills elsewhere. This means that while you can certainly get bigger rooms in Seoul (although not much bigger for the same amount of money), there are plenty of other places for you to retreat to instead. The onsen/jimjaebang is a lovely and calm space. If you're western, don't let the need to be naked put you off, it's really not a big deal. The free ramen in the evening is also a nice touch if you need a quick pick me up. Breakfast is almost ludicrously comprehensive and can perfectly fill the hole in your stomach marked 'lunch' if you go late enough. Location is good and access from the airport is fairly easy with a choice between limobus to the Novotel which is literally next door or a quick change at Gimpo Airport station (from Incheon) onto Subway Line 9. Be warned that Line 9 is almost absurdly busy during rush hour. Overall, I'd highly recommend Dormy Inn Gangnam for

Amazing hotel with amazing facilities! ”

Our overall experience here was amazing on top of amazing! Great facilities- had free spa and sauna, free noodles at night, variety at buffet breakfast Pros: very clean hotel, kind and professional staff, had welcome drinks, great location in the Gangnam area, within walking areas to subway and convenient stores, great amenities and facilities that could be used for free, amazing view over part of Seoul Cons: slightly smaller room for the price paid, there is a slight slope to get to the hotel from the station which may be tiring for some This hotel was our favourite one on this trip, granted it was more expensive. Thank you to Dormy Inn and their staff for the amazing stay!

Superb Stay”

The hotel is 5-7min walk from Sinnonhyeon Subway Station (Line 9), Exit 4. There is an escalator at Exit 5 but you need to walk towards Exit 4 towards the hotel. If coming from Incheon International Airport, the nearest airport bus (no.6703) is located at Novotel and Novotel is just beside Dormy Inn. Rooms are spacious enough to fit the luggage. We booked the double room and 2 medium sized luggages fit with enough walk space in it. Buffet breakfast is amazing, there are a lot of food choices from Japanese, Korean, Chinese cuisines and even simple salads, breads and cold cuts are all available. They serve free ramen from 9:30pm upto 11pm. There is a SPA at the basement which guests can use for free. Gangnam commercial area is a little 10-15min walk from the hotel. Overall, we had a comfortable and amazing stay in Dormy Inn Gangnam.

Brilliant hotel, location and onsen!”

I stayed at the Dormy Inn for 3 nights. Executive double room, which was a good size for a solo traveller. The hotel is in a convenient location to explore Seoul, with two subway stations in walking distance 5-7 mins. You can also walk to Gangham in about 15 mins. The staff were friendly and helpful. From Incheon, take the airport limousine bus and drop off at Novotel Ambassador which is right next door to Dormy Inn. The best part of the hotel is the sauna/onsen which was the best way to relax after wandering around Seoul. Highly recommended.

Excellent place to stay in Seoul”

My 8-year-old daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Dormy Inn Seoul Gangnam so much that we kept talking about it for a month after our vacation. Everything in this hotel was well thought. The location is perfect for foodies. We will definitely stay at this hotel again in our next visit!

9.5/10”

3mins walk to Gangnam street and very quiet. Staff were absolutely helpful and amazing, and i loved how hotel provides PJs for customers and its on-sen facility was just great. Except that I wasn't happy with these few Chinese ladies who did not wash their body before they go into water. I'll definitely want to go back to Dormy Inn when I'm back in Seoul!

Amazing facilities!”

Very friendly staff, better services than the Dormy Inn Garusogil Sinsa! Sauna Spa in Seoul can be rather expensive and for the price, it can be rather filthy, dormy inn's spa is very very well maintained. They even have cold pillow and silky skin bath! The best would be the 10PM free ramen!! Delicious!! Breakfast was also super delicious! Their breakfast also have healthier choice! Only bad thing would be the location, its quite a distance from Sinnonhyeon station and its going up hill. When you push your luggages you need to becareful, travelling with old travellers have to becarful.

Best hotel ever I stayed”

I stay in Dormy Inn whenever I visit Japan and Korea. If you don't want to spend a ton on hotels but also want good service, Dormy Inn is the best place. There're many small details that make Dormy Inn different from others. There always is sauna to take shower, which is so much better than bath tub in tiny hotel room in Japan and Korea. There's laundry machine where you can do laundry in very reasonable price. The breakfast has lots of varieties and you'll never get bored with the free ramen at 9pm. This place makes you feel like home. The location is always at the most convenient spot, you can easily take trains to go somewhere. Staffs are always friendly. Unless I get super rich one day, I will always stay in Dormy Inn as long as I can.

Way above our expectation ”

The best hotel we stayed in Seoul!( being our first time visit) Easy to reach, take KAL from airport and drop at Novetel Ambassador (just next door, 1min walk. Return to airport, wait at the same place). 5min walk to Sinnonhyeon station. Easy access to Gangnam, u can walk or take bus (just use google map to figure out the route and bus number) Hotel provides free shuttle to Myeongdong and also Gangnam. ( one way only). Room is new, clean, albeit small size. We have 2 mid size luggage and no problem to fit in with some walking space. Love the standing shower, sleek and modernly designed. Eco friendly as they put in the whole bottles of hair / body shampoo, conditioner. Good quality stuff! Toothpaste/brush hair dryer available. Hotel also provide free sauna , free Ramen from 930pm-11pm.

LOVED the Dormy!!”

Everything was amazing! The front desk staff was very nice and kind and spoke decent English. The breakfast buffet is worth the price tag! Great variety of Korean, Japanese and Western food. We looked forward to it every morning. The room was small but had everything we needed: safe, comfy bed, complimentary pjs, nice bathroom (fancy toilet for USA travelers), free bottled water. There's also a free shuttle that stops right downtown at the Seoul station! This was a great perk since the hotel is South of the river and farther away from some tourist attractions. The best part in my opinion was the free onsen. We loved coming back to the hotel after a long day of sightseeing and shopping to soak in the communal baths and relax in the Finnish sauna. Facilities were clean and new. Last but not least complimentary "noodle service" = free ramen at night... and it was good! The staff at the restaurant were extra nice and accommodating even though we didn't speak the language at all. Thanks Dormy! Can't wait to come back!

Great experience ”

The dormy inn hotels in Seoul are ones of their kind. They make you feel like home by caring about small details like room fragrance sparay & pyjamas for each customer to walk around the hotel wearing them as if we are one big family. Staff are friendly. They just need to add airport transportation & make rooms a little bigger & they will be great.

Awesome Location. Awesome Hotel!”

Dormy Inn Gangnam is close to everything. You can walk to so many different places. The hotel itself is great. They have a spa that is a cross between a modern Western spa and a traditional Korean jjimjilbang. It has the hot baths, cold bath, and sauna, plus a separate spa area for services such as massages and facials. The hotel also has free ramen from 9:00-11:00 pm. It was kind of a bonus and it was good! Would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel BUT”

I usually stay at dormy inn whenever I visit gangnam, but this time my bed was different. There was only one hard pillow on the bed and the bed itself was very hard. Also you can hear the other room in the middle of the night. Also for the breakfast buffet the price went up by $2. Breakfast was ok. It was better before

Comfortable and Cozy”

Pros: 1. Hotel facilities Suna, Hot Spring Public Bath on the basement floor is an value-added when u visit Seoul in winter 2. within 10 mins walk to Gangnam shopping area and loads of restaurants 3. free shuttle to Gangnam and Myeongdong Station Cons: 1. 10 mins slope climbing to the hotel 2. Shuttle bus service offer until 1600rish, 1-way only, no return back to hotel.

Best location”

It's located at the centre of Seoul in the Gangnam district. Only 10 mins walk from the underground station. This comment is written at the Kakao Friends Flagship Store just 500m away from the hotel. The staff are very polite and helpful. The room is very clean. There is a free SPA at the basement of the hotel. You can get free coffee every afternoon and free noodles every night. It's a pleasant stay. Highly recommended.
