The property need upkeeping. Although service was prompt, however, lack of staff at the front desk and also inexperience staff at the restaurant is the weakness. I’ve booked for the most prestige room, however it was not up to expectation. With Moldy smell and towels worn out among few issues during our stay.

Hotel and the room itself was dated. Much more of a boutique feel than anticipated. Also, too much noise could be heard from outside, despite being in a designated quiet room. The bed was comfortable as expected, but feel that most of its 5 star hotel competitors in Seoul provide much better value and higher quality in every facet

The staff were exceptionally helpful, from their general professionalism and courteousness to helping us find amazing local places to eat. And I also need to mention how clean our rooms were every single day, the housekeeping staff thoroughly cleaned and supplied the room perfectly, I think the hotel itself, the physical aspects are fine, but what makes the property special are the well trained and professional and friendly staff.

Flawless from start to finish.

My wife and I stayed here as part of our South Korea trip. Although our 2.5 year old wasn’t with us she would have had a wonderful time if she was. Staff were friendly and smiling; from the first doorman that greeted us, to the reception staff, restaurant staff and gym staff. We felt the staff were especially professional and wouldn’t let us lift a finger. The property is clean, modern and impressive. It is connected to the Dongdaemun metro station which makes getting about very easy. The gym is truly outstanding, as is the swimming pool (with a small toddlers pool full of about 100 rubber ducks). We had an executive room with a wonderful gate view which was large and modern. It had lounge access and we felt the food offerings were of a great quality. When I was booking I couldn’t decide between this and the Westin Josun so I booked both. I’m now at the Westin and wish I could go back to the JW Dongdaemun as the Westin is not in the same league.
