    “Exquisite hospitality”

    I was surprised by how each staff member embodied the spirit of hospitality. Although the prices are high, I had a very satisfying stay in Korea. The concierge came out to greet us upon our arrival, and even when I went out to buy painkillers, he took the time to look up directions to a nearby pharmacy for us on our second day. In the lounge, we were welcomed with warm smiles. Additionally, in the buffet restaurant, they noticed that we were only drinking water and thoughtfully brought us beautiful non-alcoholic drinks. There were many moments where I felt that hospitality. It was a hotel that made me want to stay again when I visit Korea next time 😊. However, I think this is the same for any hotel; it's unfortunate that it's far from the airport. Finally, I would like to thank all the crew who made our stay enjoyable. Thank you very much.

    “Can’t recommend it enough😍”

    I had an incredible stay at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square! The proximity to subway and bus stops, the cleanliness, breakfast provided and the helpfulness of the concierge as well as the staff by the front door, were exceptional. There wasn’t any sort of language barrier, and the front desk were able to converse in English, with ease. I would certainly pick this place for my next visit to Seoul as well, without any hesitation.

    “A very good choice in terms of cost-effectiveness.”

    Best value among 5-star hotels in Seoul. There is a subway station right in front, so the location and transportation are not bad, especially the breakfast at Tavolo24 on the 2nd floor of the hotel is very satisfying. Additionally, the BLT Steak on the same floor is also good. The cleanliness and management of the guest room are also decent. The quality of food in the executive lounge was good, but the variety was a bit lacking, which was somewhat disappointing. Overall, the breakfast at Tavolo24 is very satisfying, and it's a place I would like to visit again for its value. However, the quality of room service was very disappointing, and the response of some staff members was also quite lacking.

    “I am satisfied.”

    The location is excellent, the security is good, and it's possible to be out late at night. It took about a 15-minute walk to Gwangjang Market! The hotel room was clean and very nice. Only a king-sized one-bedroom was available, and it was cramped for three of us, including a high school-aged child, to sleep. I requested an extra bed, but was told it was impossible due to the room being too small. Please be careful if you are traveling with three people!
