Hotel Gaon Seoul Dongdaemun Reviews

The location is good, walking distance to Dongdeamun surrounding shopping malls and subway. Minus points: 1) room is small, not suitable for family but couples; 2) no lift, so it's quite difficult to carry your big size luggage up and down as well as the staircase is narrow; 3) the receptionist lady is not friendly; 4) quite number of mosquitoes as the garbage bins nearby.

location was good.

Very nice hotel, recommendation

Very cozy place amoung all budget motels around that area. The room is clean and good!

The location is really convenient, and it's near Dongdaemun, so you won't have to worry about running out of food. But there are only stairs, so those with luggage may want to think carefully. The hotel is in an alley and not many people pass by at night.

There was a dead cockroach and it was so dirty that I immediately booked another hotel. The hygiene impression is completely different from the photos.

I've been on a lot of business trips in my 60s, but this is the first time I've been to a place as humiliating as this. Hotel Gaon Dongdaemun's sign says it's a hotel, but it's worse than an inn from the 70s. Since it was a hotel, I made a reservation online, but the moment I walked in, I felt like I had been tricked, but I had already paid online. Since I had already paid, I went in without saying anything. The accommodation was so disgusting with the smell of cigarette smoke, there were no basic cosmetics or combs, and the TV was the size of a computer monitor. The bed felt like it was full of bed bugs, so I could barely sleep. I vowed never to apply online again. However, the owner was friendly, and when I inquired about the location over the phone, he kindly came to meet me (it was close...) which was nice.

I love that it’s close to Dongdaemun General Market. The navigation app tells you to go to an alley, but it would be better to go back to the main road. Soon! It's not even dark haha

The environment is not good and the equipment is a bit poor

The size is not very big, but it is comfortable and convenient to use.

The room is very small but the location is very good. Dongdaemun shopping is very convenient.

The reception desk is hard to see The location is good, but it's a little far from the train line 4 exit.

It was very poorly equipped and had no security at all. I was planning to use it alone, but I was guided to a room connected from the outside on the first floor, and it didn't feel clean. I decided to change the hotel on the spot. I was worried about going to Korea in a situation where security was not good, but I was worried about it, so I paid for it, but I booked another hotel on the spot. I have judged from the photos, but the photos on this site are fraudulent. 100 times this is a poor environment. I hesitated about the price and made a reservation, but if you are alone or uneasy, I recommend a proper hotel (or a Japanese hotel). I will never use it again.
