Feels like home”

Everytime I visit Seoul, I will book KY Heritage, now it renamed as Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemum. I love this hotel, the staff are nice, room clean n comfortable, also the metro station is near. I recommend this hotel!

Couldn't ask for a better introduction to Seoul”

This was my first trip to Seoul and the KY-Heritage made it even better. The hotel is new, modern and nicely appointed with everything you'll need. So many positives it's hard to list them all - staff is super responsive, breakfast is very good; the location is right on subway line 4 which makes it easy to get around the city; the airport limousine picks up right in front of the hotel; the bathroom is awesome; there were 110 and 220 outlets in our room; the views from our room and even the hallways were amazing; and it's located right in a mega shopping district and next to the Dongdaemun History & Culture Center. After long, full days of walking, shopping & sightseeing, this was an awesome place to come home to at night.

Excellent Hotel in Great Location”

Very pleased with the room. Beautiful view of Dongdaemun from upper floor. Comfortable and. Clean and right across the street from all the shopping. Nice Bug shower, no tub. Also right across from the Design plaza that looks like a giant flying saucer, a landmark that makes the hotel so easy to find. Also a couple of blocks from the Gwangjang market where you get outstanding authentic street food for cheap! Definitely try the hottduk, binjaeduk and the mandoo duk guk there. Best of all, the hotel limousine bus picked us up right in front of the hotel and took us to Incheon. Airport. Took Twice as long as the train but worth it if you have a lot of heavy luggage. Will definitely stay again on our next trip.

Will stay here again!”

This hotel is located right next to Dongdaemun Design Center and tons of eateries and shopping within walking distance. Bathroom was sleek and modern and room was clean. Tv would turn on when you entered room and the beds and pillows were the best ever, including any 4 or 5 star hotel!! There are so many hotels popping up constantly and this one is fairly recent so not all the cab drivers were familiar with it; definitely need to provide them with address. Also a big plus is the KAL bus to airport pickup/drop off is right in front of the hotel.

Value for money, great location”

The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is good. The airport limousine stops right at the front of the hotel.It's in close proximity to all the shopping complexes in Dongdaemun. Underground station is only 5mins away with lines 2,4,5 that you can travel easily to Myeong Dong, Namdaemun, Seoul station and Hyehwa.

Great location”

What i like the most is its location. Airport shuttle stops right in front of the hotel which is great since we have two seniors and two young children with us. No problem getting to/from the airport. Just few minutes walk to dongdaemun shopping district. We booked tours with shuttle and the pick up points were just few minutes walk from the hotel. Only downside is rooms were too small. We booked two rooms both of which can accomodate 3people, but it was hard to move around because of the big luggages that we have. There's no enough space to keep them. More of a 3star hotel than 4star in my opinion. But would probably stay here again the next time i'll be in seoul because of its location. And oh, amenities are a bit outdated compared to other 4star hotels i've stayed in. But overall, experience is good.

great location, right next to subway station”

three subway lines intersect at "Dongdaemun history and culture park station", which can take you to pretty much everywhere you could think of in Seoul. Room is big and clean, bed is soft (a little too soft for me). Shopping centers close-by yet not noisy at night. There's a street full of restaurants about a block away. May stay here again next time.

Great Hotel at a Great Location!”

Hotel is a few steps from everything - the subway, shopping, food and even the city sight seeing bus terminal! Dongdaemun is also one of the major pick-up points for most of the day-tour groups to Nami Island, Everland etc. So, you don't have travel far, to reach your pick-up point. Essentially, you could get anywhere without too much hassle. Staff is proficient in English and helpful. Facilities are great, too. Room is fantastic. We stayed 5 nights.

1st time staying in this area, 3rd time in Korea”

Our room was on the top floor of the hotel. The view from our room was gorgeous. It is our 3rd visit to Seoul and it has been almost 4 years since our last trip there. We were so surprised at the changes in the area. Many new hotels and stores in the area. The hotel was so convenient to all the major areas that one would visit and the subway was about a 2 minute walk away. There are several 24 hour restaurants/cafes near by that it made late night snacking or early morning breakfast easy. Will stay again.

Best location for fashionista”

I have booked this hotel without knowing that it's located in the middle of Dongdaemun fashion district. The hotel is located next to A-PM Wholesale, Lotte, Hyundai, and many other shopping mall. So if you are interested in the buying cloths you should go to this place. The room is quite big compare to Korean standard. The service is also nice. Recommend it.

Great hotel in great location”

This is a really new hotel in a truly great location, especially if you are interested in the design museum in Dongdaemun or all the shoppoing/fashion outlets in that area. The beds are huge and we also appreciated the baby cot available for our baby there. While there was a problem with the iron/iron board at first (since not every room has one), the staff did their best to finally organize an iron for me.

Great location ”

This is our first time to Seoul and had a great time. Metro is easy, safe to use and plenty of English instruction , not taken into consideration of volunteers posted at Gangnam entrance to help tourists. We met one. Our hotel is next to the wholesale Am pm building. Beautiful garments if you are into design clothes however most shops cater for wholesale purchase. If you are not keen on street food, I recommend Lotte Fitin dept store where you can enjoy organic Korean buffet. Or Hyundai outlet food court. Hotel room is large enough to fit in 3 adults.

Great Location Comfy Hotel”

Location is great, just 1 min walk to Dongdaemun history & culture park station, few mins to shopping malls and restaurants! Airport shuttle 6702 stop in front of the hotel. Room is clean and large enough,, bed is comfy. Free upgraded to deluxe room this time, nice staff. Highly recommend this hotel.

Good location for shopping”

It's very near to the Dongdaemun shopping area. You can find street food, shopping mall jut next to this hotel. Also, there's a airport shuttle, coach, underground near it. Worthy of staying here for traveling in Seoul.

good location”

anyone who wants to take advantage of late night shopping in the dongdaemun area will find this hotel well located. upon booking, the hotel emailed me to provide directions on getting to the hotel from the airport which was helpful. also thankful that they upgraded one of our rooms so that we can be located on the same floor. my only minor gripe is that they charge a deposit to borrow an umbrella which doesn't seem necessary for such a big hotel. if non-return of umbrella is an issue, just recording the room number and no. of umbrella borrowed should suffice.

clean, good location”

I love this hotel! location is good, just 30 sec away from dongdaemun historical park station exit 9. staff can speak good english, they helped us to call n order the delivery(kyochon fried chicken) ,we just picked up at the lobby n enjoy in our room. Facilities are all so new n clean. HIGHLY recommend

A great stay in a new modern hotel”

Very satisfied staying 4 nights in this new hotel with a very comfort room, nice and huge bathroom. The location is superb, close to metro station and Dongdaemun shopping paradise is just across the street. KAL airport limousine is also stops iat the hotel lobby! The downside is only breakfast menu which very boring and always the same with a limited choices.

Great hotel location”

Hotel Location and accessibility are the biggest points. Airport bus stop right in front of the hotel Subway station is just next to the hotel Near to Dongdaemun Market and surrounded by few shopping malls Food eateries are easy to find.
