Hotels near Dongdaemun Market

Firstly, we would like to thank Mr Sam Jung for going out of his way to help us during our stay at hotel skypark. We were overcharged for some expensive items and Mr Sam helped us to communicate with the store and retrieve the money back for us. He was polite and professional throughout and we really appreciate his kindness. We stayed in the princess room which looked as pretty as what was seen in the photos. Room was big, with a kitchenette that comes with a microwave and plenty of space for us to enjoy our takeouts. Hotel was located within the Hyundai outlets and right beside doota. The rest of the dongdaemun wholesale area was also within close walking distance. There is even a convenience store right at the lobby where we could stock up on some snacks before going out or after our late night shopping. Great hotel, we really enjoyed our stay here.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is perfect, only 1 min walk from Dongmyo station and 8 min walk from Dongdaemun station. We booked deluxe double with (I think) the promotion price so it's really worth it. The airport bus stop, dongdaemun market, Jongmyo shrine is also close from this hotel. The room size is enough for us (we booked the deluxe double room) with great view. Although the bathroom is considered small, it is okay for us since it was really clean and also they changed the towel everyday. It was a really pleasant stay for us!

I like this hotel. It is near DDP, near subway exit 7 (from Seoul station is no. 4 stop Dongdaemun history and culture Park St) , near 6001 airport bus stop(just need to cross the road-2 min walk) near the restaurant. The room is big, the bed is big. It is clean. It has the basic things you need kettle, shampoo, toothpaste,lotion. Breakfast is at 7am. There are a lot choices, bread, fruits, salads, pasta, mixed veggie and etc. They also tried to change the menu everyday. The other best thing is that Nami Island tour and Everland pick up is from Dongdaemun which is near Acube hotel. Special thanks To Jay and Ms. Lee for assisting me. They are helpful people.

The hotel is situated on Dongdaemun near the Gwangjang Market. This hotel is very closed to the aiport limousine bus stop. It is situated in the middle of Dondaemun closed to Myeongdong and Insadong. The hotel is a little bit small but very clean. The TV is not in front at the end the bed but side view of the bed so difficult to watch tv. The hotel amenities is fine. The staff are very helpful. They speak good english and will teach you the way if you want to go to some places. The hotel shuttle is very good but need to have an advance booking because always full. Overall, we had a great stay in Hotel Skypark Dongdaemun 1. Definitely if we had a chance, we will stay in this hotel again....🙂🙂🙂

I booked an economy double and although a bit on the cramped side, the room was spotless and very comfortable. The hotel is right in the heart of the Dongdaemun Market, on the top floors of the Migliore Mall (but surprisingly quiet!). Even though I would have preferred a room overlooking the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) that is right in front of the hotel, my room on the West side's 20th floor had a beautiful view of the mountains and the fortress wall. The hotel's entrance is located on the side of the mall and faces an alley filled with eateries. There are also tons of street food vendors all around the hotel. Another perk of the hotel is the KAL airport limousine bus stop that is located right on the opposite side of the street, in front of the DDP (ticket is purchased from the City Tours kiosk next to the bust stop - 16,000won, 60-80 mins travel time). The staff was also very kind and helpful. The 6,6000 won cooked breakfast was delicious and generous, although the menu information provided in the room wasn't up to date. Also, I stayed over the Chuseok holiday, and the staff kindly offered traditional treats to the guests.

Modern and chic boutique hotel. Each room has its own unique design (nevertheless, in one of our rooms, the toilet bowl, sink and bath tub are in 3 separate areas of the room - making it quite inconvenient after toilet). big and spatious room with water machine and computer to use. May be more suitable for couples than families with older children as in our room, the shower shares the same glass door with the toilet. Very clean room though with no place to hang clothes or towels. Only 2 hangers in the far end of our room (but this seemed quite common in all the hotels we have stayed in Korea this time) Convenient location - 3 mins walk to Shinseol-dong metro station, which is 2 stations away from the famous DDP or Dongdaemun station. Hotel's entrance is quite hard to find tho - easier to walk thru the Hotel Cafe. Generally, good for its price.

This hotel is one of the cutest hotels I've ever been too. Although it has no gym or swimming pool or facilities like that, the room is very cute. Each room has its own unique interior design and you get to choose your room at check-in. They also have a cafeteria on the second floor that is also a lounge. The hotel across the street from one of the exits for Dongdaemun History and Culture Park station and is conveniently located on 3 different lines. It is a great location for shopping and there are many great restaurants nearby as well. The staff was extremely helpful, I realized my A/C was not working and they immediate switched me to another room. Also, they let me use the lounge after checking out. Will definitely stay again.

It's a wonderful well-kept hotel with options of warm indoor pool, sauna, and good restaurant. Great 20th floor lobby ambiance with LED wall showing this hotel embracing hi-tech as part of its offering and soothing roof deck with lounges as well as open yoga area. Kids area is wonderful and safe, catering not only toddler play but also bigger kids with the availability of PS4, they just need to provide more games. Good selection of western with a section of Korean breakfast, enjoyed the daily fresh salmon as well as the warm chocolate croissant. Walking distance to a famous landmark, hop-on/off bus stop, subway, & restaurants. Downside: Even though the hotel location close to a noticeable landmark (Dongdaemun Design Plaza), a lot of taxi drivers didn't know the hotel. The main drop-off lobby located on the back part of the hotel instead of the front part (main highway) of the hotel, creates confusion for all cars when dropping off the guests.

The hotel was superb. Great location. 5 minute leisurely walk to Dongdaemun History and Culture Plaza Station (lines 2,4,5). Walking distance to the Dongdaemun shopping area. Food establishments 2-3 mins away. Staff were very helpful and served with a ready smile. Even the cleaning lady was cheerful and gave us whatever extra amenities we needed. Room was spacious and clean. Wi-fi was strong. To top it all, the airport limousine bus stopped right in front of the hotel entrance and so with all our luggage, there was no hassle of getting a ride to the airport. Really, really convenient. Only drawback (if you can call it that) was that there was no breakfast included with the rooms. Other than that, everything was ok. I recommend this hotel for a place to relax and rest after a whole day touring the city.

The room is clean and tidy. Great with price worth. I found korean street snack shop on the way to subway station😊. The location is at the edge of dongdaemun district. I need to take ~30 minutes subway to main district. The main problem for me is that no laundry service at this hotel. I stayed 8 days. I just threw some of old clothes to trash and bought new one...

I had an excellent stay at the Ibis Ambassador Dongdaemun. The location is great, about ten minutes on foot to three subway stations (Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, Euljiro 4-ga and Jongno 5-ga which gives you a total of five different subway lines). Dongdaemun area has loads of cheap restaurants and streetfood stalls and a Tourist Information stand. And if you are in Seoul for a trade show or anything in or near COEX exhibition centre, subway line 2 goes straight from Euljjiro 5-go Samcheong/WTC station (which is good because transfer stations in the Seoul subway network can be exhausting!). The hotel is new so everything is still nice and clean (I particularly appreciated this because my last three hotels in Seoul were anything but!). The hotel also has rooftop terrace and spectacular city views from the top floors (it's a free-standing building). I also liked that it is directly on a main street (i.e. easy to find for taxi drivers - many Seoul hotels in a similar price category are hidden in one-way alleys and back streets and can be a nightmare to locate from a car. Speaking from experience here!), there was a surprising amount of storage space for such a small hotel room, sufficient clothes hangers, large bathroom with two different shower heads (rainfall and "normal" shower head), really comfortable bed (love the pillows) and there is a selection of wall sockets: 3-pin (UK), round 2-pin (Europe) and two USB ports! Also very friendly and helpful reception staff. The only thing that wasn't 100% perfect was the sometimes slow wifi connection (although that might have had something to do with the fact that my room was on the top floor) and I would have wished for one or two coat hooks on the wall near the door. Other than that it was a great hotel experience and I will definitely stay at Ibis Dongdaemun again the next time I'm in Seoul.

We arrived in Korea and found it a bit difficult to get to the hotel from the airport. We took the airport bus to Dongdaemun and we did not know which way to go to get to the hotel. I recommend that the hotel try to put some signs at the bus stop to show us where to go. We had to walk about 15 minutes from the bus stop to get to the hotel. The lobby of the hotel is small and unimpressive but acceptable. We checked in and the staff was very courteous. The concierge Olivia was very helpful in helping us plan our trip, made reservations for dinner for us at the N Tower, a dinner cruise, and booked a tour for us to Nami Island. She is so patient and friendly with us and we appreciated her attention to detail. We couldn't have gone to these places without her help. The bell girl Jay is also wonderful and cheerful. Kudos to all the staff here at this hotel. The other best feature of this hotel is the Free WIFI that is actually quite fast. Very Recommended for business travelers sick of on/off snail speed WIFI at other hotels. And it's Free! Keep it up! Room is nice and clean, only downside is that they forget to stock our coffee/tea twice in our five day stay. Quite annoying. Other thing I recommend is to have a bidet installed on the water closet. Location of the hotel is quite nice too. The subway station is just outside the hotel. Dongdaemun shopping complexes within walking distance. Shop till you drop till 2am or even 4:30am if you can stay awake. Tip for the traveller, allow yourself at about 1.5-2 hours to get from the hotel to the airport so you won't be late for your flight. Take the taxi. I took the subway...Big Mistake!

my friend and i stayed at the flower hotel for 2 nights (01~03/04/2012). the twin-bed room was clean, with a huge tv which was a pleasant surprise for the price we paid. basic necessities such as towels, hair dryer etc were provided. we were overall satisfied with the room except that the air-conditioning was out of order, and hence it felt slightly hot and stuffy in the heated room (room was heated cause the weather was below 10degree). the location of the hotel is about 10 min walk from the subway, which felt like a 20 min dreadful walk when i was dragging my super heavy luggage in the heavy rain at below 10degree, in order to take the bus to incheon airport. however, the service by the hotel staff was excellent. the english-speaking staff was kind enough to help me wrap my luggage with a trash bag in order to prevent it from getting wet in the rain. i could tell that he would really help me to carry my luggage if he wasn't the only person on duty. during our stay, he had help us to find the cheapest and most convenient way to travel to our destination. his sincerity in providing services for the best of the customers was greatly appreciated. for people who do not mind walking some distance & couldn't find a place near to myeongdong or dongdaemun, i would recommend this hotel. =)

I had a great time during my stay at Ekonomy hotel dongdaemun. Largely owed to the friendly and helpful staffs working there. Special shoutout to Jun who helped us in many ways, eg googling for the shortest routes, booking our coach to everland, another staff even helped my friend clear up after her puke choked the sink. the location is fantastic, strategically located beside Good morning city mall, a stone throw away from all the shopping malls and Exit 13 of Dongdaemun History And Culture Park Station. super convenient. The rooms are very clean and neat though a little small but overall its still worth the money we paid. Will definitely visit Seoul/Ekonomy Hotel again!

real hotel with motel price. there are convenience stores around, and the closest station is huge with e-mart and department store. this station has three lines, which is very convenient. hotel room is clean and bit small, but good enough. front staff spoke good japanese, and maybe they speak english too. two bottle of water provided. nice to have water heater too. for price of cheap motel (when you get discount), this place is one of the best value in seoul.

We stayed at Hotel Gaon for 1 night en route back to London. The location is perfect if you want to shop around Dongdaemun. The place is very clean, got all equipment and the staff were very friendly and helpful, (help with our bag and walk with us when we asked where is Dongdaemun plaza). Gave us fruits, coffee and free water. And it's definitely value for money. Thanks a lot for making our stay enjoyable! Totally recommended!

I was supposed to stay at this hotel for 3 days and I ended up staying for a week. The location is not as central as I would have liked but the walk to Hoegi subway station is only 10 minutes so it was manageable. This place was very clean, nice and cosy. I can only recommend. Now the biggest Praise goes to the lady at the reception. I am so thankful for her. She was one of the nicest and most helpful ladies I have ever met anywhere. lt was almost sad to leave the hotel and her. She was amazing. 할머니, 당신의 친절에 감사드립니다 <3
