From Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station Exit 12There are many Nine Tree hotels in Seoul that are about a 3-minute walk away, but Dongdaemun seems to be relatively cheap.This time's room was a double room with a handicap of 21 square meters, and I think it was probably a room that could be accommodated by a wheelchair.Each room was spacious.The scenery is also goodIt was 15,000 yen for one night on a weekday without meals, but this time it was expensive because I wanted to use a hotel voucher and chose to pay locally.When I looked at it, it was usually around 13,500 yen.I think the location is good so it's easy to move around.You can leave your luggage in a locker by yourself.Drinks such as coffee are free on the front floor.There is a 24-hour cafe on the first floor.thank you very much!

I love Korea and have stayed in many places.This is one of the many hotels I've stayed at, and it's one of the cleanest. I also liked that the shower was separate!There was shampoo, conditioner, and body soap, and the herbal scent was perfect for my hair. There was also a body cream.They cleaned the room properly every day for 3 nights and provided water refills.The front desk staff and the cleaning staff were all nice and friendly people, so I didn't feel bad lol.However, the room was small and there was only one chair, so I felt like I had to sit on the bed.I had a little trouble when I ate chicken in my room...And the subway is a little far away.

It's a hotel for Japanese people that you wouldn't think it's an overseas hotel.The staff also tried their best to speak Japanese, and I was almost embarrassed by my lack of study.The inside of the room was thoroughly cleaned and I was able to go out without any worries even if I left my personal belongings behind.Many of the guests staying here are Japanese, so they can speak Japanese so well that you'll forget you've even come to Korea. If you are traveling to Korea alone, I recommend this hotel.

After searching various hotels in Seoul where a family of four could stay in one room, we decided on this quad room. This room has two bunk beds placed against the wall, and there is also a spacious table space. There is no bathtub or toothbrush, and all cups are paper cups.Arrive at Gimpo Airport and take the subway for 4 to 50 minutes to the hotel. On the way back, take the express bus that leaves right in front of the hotel to Incheon International Airport. It took about an hour and a half.The third floor is the front desk and you can enter and exit without going through the front desk, so I only went to the front desk to check in and check out. Recommended for people who don't want unnecessary communication (lol)I included breakfast, but it was a simple buffet and not many people were using it, and there was a convenience store nearby, so I don't think I needed it.It's great to be able to walk to Gwangjang Market, Chubu Dried Fish Market, and Dongdaemun.I would like to stay here again when I go to Seoul.

Stayed here 3 nights over Chuseok holiday. If you're coming by subway, Dongdaemun station exit 7 is nearest but it has lots of stairs and no escalator or lift. Exit 12 is best if you have big luggage as there's a lift and it's a smooth straight walk to the hotel.The hotel reception area is large and brightly lit. There's a seating area (no food allowed) and free tea/coffee. There's lockers and coin laundry which I used during my stay and worked well.Check in was smooth. I managed to get help from reception about whether a large chain store was open during the holiday and the staff helped me check and printed me a map as well.My room 601 was right at the end, very quiet and clean. The aircon system of this hotel is unique in that it switches on and off by itself when the desired temperature is reached. There's a water dispenser and bin on each floor. Everything worked well in my room, daily cleaning was done with 2 bottles of water.My stay included breakfast- it was simple but filling. Reception assisted me on another day with checking if a heritage site was open- they called them to check and I was impressed and grateful for the help rendered.However, things weren't so smooth after checkout. Checkout itself was quick and fuss free but the purported airport bus 6001 not only came late but drove right past me when I flagged it down. Confused, I called reception from the entrance intercom and a female staff came down. She politely told me the airport bus was none of their business, that I should call the bus company myself and that she needed to go. Well, I don't have a call plan and I can't speak Korean so that wasn't helpful. I don't understand why if the reception could help me check/ call tourist sites during my stay, that they couldn't do the same for me esp when I needed to catch my flight. There was only 1 Reception staff at 12 noon when I checked out, which didn't make sense as there were alot of guests checking out then and a very large gp arriving. At other times when human traffic was low, I saw 2 Reception staff.I would have given this hotel rave reviews if not for their poor service after checkout. While I understand the airport bus is not affiliated to the hotel, they could have helped me check or call the bus company just like they did with the tourist sites earlier. If anything, the airport bus issue was more important to me as a traveller than the store or tourist site.Btw, the airport bus schedule is just for show. I waited ard 30 min and only managed to board the 3rd bus that came because the 1st bus drove right past me; the 2nd one only dropped off passengers and didn't allow us to board. All 3 buses came late and outside the scheduled time.
