Reviews
Nicole from Philippines (9/10)
We love Sotetsu Dongdaemun. I’ve stayed in two other hotels in the area and this one’s my favorite. The staff is very nice & efficient, there’s an elevator right outside the hotel that leads to the metro (the walk inside the metro to get to the trains is still a bit of a walk though); and it’s close to Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
Anna from Singapore (8/10)
Very clean, excellent location, friendly and accommodating staff.
Asnat from Netherlands (8/10)
Good breakfast buffet. I read about there not being enough spaces but this was not the case when we stayed there.
Quiet room even though there was some construction going on next door. Laundry room was very handy.
Bus and metro right in front of the hotel.Stefano from Italy (9/10)

– Water system was working perfectly, no clog, and it was right and stable temperature for showeringPaola from United States (9/10)
It was at the perfect location. Metro at the doorstep and plenty of shops, caffes and restaurants around the area. The room was really nice, the beds were super comfortable and everything was impeccable.
Gabriela from Albania (9/10)
Nice view of the city, very concordance bed and air con worked well. Not in the main tourist area but still close to lots of shopping and restaurants. I appreciated the fitness center.
Sophie from Australia (9/10)
Great hotel, excellent location next to Metro station.
Well appointed room. Good buffet breakfast.Steven from United Kingdom (9/10)
I had a high room on the 20th floor that gave me fantastic views across the city. Namsan Tower was visible and at night I left the curtains open to bring the city indoors.
Staff were friendly and helpful. I slept very well in the large bed and the room was clean and tidy.
This hotel is in a very good location; the subway station outside is five stops from Seoul Station on the blue Line 4. Cheonggyecheon Park is just up the road, the Design Plaza is nearby and Myeongdong is walkable from here. There is a 7/11 shop a few doors along if you want snacks and drinks as well.
