Wonderful hidden gem in Dongdaemun area where you can find very nice shopping and food. One of few cheaper hotels I could find in Seoul and very much worth the money. The staff is so nice and helpful. Close to subway. I stayed for a week and loved it here. The room is simple but clean. AC works perfectly and mini fridge as well. The room is small but that's what I played for. Would stay here again!

The hotel was great and conveniently located near everything. The staff were very helpful—every time we returned to the hotel with shopping bags, they would carry them for us and even help bring them up the stairs. Even in the heat, they offered us water to keep us hydrated. It felt very safe and truly like a home away from home.

很擔心會踩雷，但完全對得起價錢，空間小但新，且乾淨。老闆非常友善還會幫忙搬行李。瓶裝水無限量提供真的超讚。床跟枕頭也很好睡。吹風機也好用。唯一問題是隔音稍微不好，會聽到關門聲什麼的，但這價錢我沒有什麼好挑剔的，戴上耳機就可以睡了。

東大門駅徒歩圏内でコスパ抜群の宿！大人2名（カップル）2泊3日でダブルベッドの部屋を利用しました。 〈良かった点〉 ・東大門駅徒歩圏内で交通の便が良い ・オーナー夫婦がとても親切 ・建物が新しく、部屋や設備が綺麗 ・コンビニがすぐ近くにある ・ホテル前に住み着いている猫が可愛い 〈気になる点〉 ・部屋がかなり狭目でスーツケースを広げると足場がかなり無くなります ・浴槽は無く、シャワーとトイレが同じ空間で仕切りも無いので水回りの利用が大変です 朝ごはんは利用しなかったのですが、水やパンやジャム系、卵などが無料です。コスパ抜群でソウル旅行を充実させたものにしてくれました。

The most friendly and accommodating host. Smiling and kind man. The rooms are clean, neat and with enough space on the floor to actually open your suitcase. A clean bathroom. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend it to other young travelers. It’s also close to a station acting as the center for much of bus transportation throughout the city.

Dongdaemun Stay Garden føles som en tryg oase. Værelset er meget rent, indrettet i en moderne og minimalistisk stil, og udstyret med alt hvad man behøver, inklusive et køleskab. Der er mange af gode shoppingmuligheder inden for gåafstand samt forskellige restauranter i nærheden af ​​hotellet. Med bus- og metrostationer lige i nærheden er det meget nemt at komme rundt i Seouls centrum. Hotellet tilbyder gratis flaskevand samt lækker morgenmad med nøje udvalgte ingredienser af høj kvalitet. Morgenmaden indeholder lækker te, smør, marmelade og sojamælk med mere. Atmosfæren er rolig, tryg og meget behagelig. Ejeren Mr. Kim er meget venlig og imødekommende. Han byder alle gæster varmt velkommen, og han sørger for at få en til at føle sig hjemme under opholdet. Derudover bor der to søde katte i gården, hvilket bidrager til den hjemlige og hyggelige atmosfære. Jeg kan varmt anbefale Dongdaemun Stay Garden!
