Dongdaemun Tourist Hotel is right across from Dongdaemun Station, making transportation and sightseeing very convenient. It’s a new hotel close to Cheonggyecheon, Myeongdong, Gwangjang Market, and Dongdaemun Yellow House—all within walking distance. At night, you can enjoy the beautiful Dongdaemun night view nearby. The staff were friendly and even upgraded my room for free. There’s a self-service washing machine, iron rental, and luggage storage. A WOWPASS machine is available. English-speaking

It was convenient to go to Myeong-dong because it was located right in front of Dongdaemun Station. Heunginjimun is also located in front of it, so it's good to see at night, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to DDP. It's newly opened, so the rooms are clean and tidy👍👍👍

The location is great — it’s right in front of Dongdaemun Station. Since Lines 1 and 4 are nearby, I took the airport railroad to Seoul Station, transferred to Line 1, and got here easily. It’s also nice that you can go to Myeong-dong on Line 4. Cheonggyecheon Stream is right in front. It’s close to the Dakhanmari (whole chicken soup) alley. I saw Gwangjang Market on YouTube — the twisted donuts looked delicious.

I stayed at the Dongdaemun Tourist Hotel for one night on a business trip. The hotel is very conveniently located near Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station and within walking distance of Dongdaemun Shopping Center, making it easy to access transportation and shopping. The guest rooms were recently renovated, featuring a simple, modern style and very comfortable accommodations. The beds were soft, and the lighting and furniture were thoughtfully designed, ensuring a good night's rest. The bathroom was also freshly renovated, clean and tidy, with a complete range of toiletries, making it very convenient. The view of the city wall from the window was particularly stunning, and the illumination at night made the stay even more unique. In addition, many shops and restaurants around the hotel accept WOWPASS, allowing you to use it for both shopping and dining, making it very convenient for travelers. Breakfast isn't available yet, but the hotel says it will be soon, so I'd definitely like to try it on my next stay. Overall, the hotel is a great value, with a comfortable room and a view of the city wall at night. Combined with the convenience of WOWPASS, it's a great choice for travelers visiting Dongdaemun for shopping or sightseeing!

I visited this hotel for the first time during my recent trip to Seoul, and it was in a great location. It was right in front of Dongdaemun Station, with Heunginjimun Gate in front and a large market behind it, making it very convenient. I had yukhoe and chijimi at Gwangjang Market, and they were delicious. Myeongdong and Cheonggyecheon Stream were also nearby. The night view was beautiful, but the city was also bustling with tourists, just like during the day, which was nice. The hotel was newly renovated and very clean. The staff were incredibly kind. There was a washing machine, so I could do my laundry, and I could also iron. There was a Wow Pass machine, so I didn't have to go to the currency exchange. Foreign languages, including English and Japanese, were also supported. There were many convenience stores and restaurants nearby, making it convenient. I could watch Netflix for free on the large TV. I could walk to the most famous Dakgalbi restaurant. The food was delicious. I was so impressed that I wanted to write a review, and I highly recommend it. Finally, I was given a room upgrade, which was much better than what I paid, and it made for an even better memory.

This hotel was recently renovated. It officially opened on July 30th. The room amenities were decent, including a bathtub. The hotel is conveniently located right outside Dongdaemun Station (Line 4), Exit 7. Dongdaemun Station (Exit 5) is a 30-second walk away, making it very convenient for those on Line 1. There are several restaurants, convenience stores, and fast food restaurants nearby.

I am a Japanese who comes to Korea for business once every two weeks. I have a client in Itaewon, so I often go there and stay in Dongdaemun. One day, I was working in Itaewon and came to my lodgings in Dongdaemun, but I didn't have my cell phone. I really didn't know what to do and it was pitch black in front of me. I'm not good at Korean either. I just went into a hotel in front of Dongdaemun and asked for help. Fortunately, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, and I explained the situation to him, and he even called my husband in Japan on his cell phone. I thought I left my cell phone at the client's office, but I didn't know how to contact him and didn't know what to do, so the staff member used a map search to find the contact information for the store next door. I asked the president of that store for the contact information of the president of my client, and luckily we were able to make a call and he also looked for my cell phone. I've stayed at many hotels in the past, but I've never seen a staff member who would do this for me. So I decided to stay at this hotel. It was newly renovated and really clean. There was a big TV, and the bedding was nice and clean. There is no

The room was newly renovated, so it was very clean and comfortable. The deluxe room was spacious and comfortable. There was a laundry room on the first floor, so I could use it conveniently without worrying about washing clothes even for long-term travelers or short-term travelers, and thanks to the free OTT service, I could enjoy movies and dramas to my heart's content during my break. In particular, most of the nearby accommodations only have stairs, this one had an elevator, so it was convenient to carry heavy luggage. The location was really good, right in front of Heunginjimun, and the subway stations on lines 1 and 4 were right in front of the hotel's main entrance, so it was really convenient to get around. It was a great location for shopping or sightseeing in Dongdaemun, so I was able to get around without any problems even on a short trip. The price was reasonable, so it was cost-effective, and the staff were friendly, so my stay was enjoyable. I plan to stay here again next time I'm near Dongdaemun.

The location is truly excellent. Right in front of Dongdaemun Station, served by lines 1 and 4, it's very convenient for getting around. I took the airport train to Seoul Station and then took Line 1 directly here. It's also very easy to get to Myeong-dong on Line 4, and Cheonggyecheon Stream is right in front, perfect for strolling. You can walk to Dongmyo and the Yellow House area in Dongdaemun. At night, the night view of Dongdaemun is beautiful and can be enjoyed right in front of the accommodation. The facilities appear to have been recently renovated (remodeled), so everything is clean and modern. The staff is very friendly, and they also store your luggage for you before check-in or after check-out, which was very helpful. There's a washing machine available, so you can do your own laundry. They also have a WOWPASS machine, where you can easily exchange money and top up your transportation card without having to search for a bank or store. There's a convenience store and a Lotteria (fast food) right next door, so it's very convenient for a quick bite to eat. The room had a large TV with free access to Netflix and other platforms, which was great. The last time I was in Korea, I stayed in a nearby hostel that only had stairs, so it was a relief to have an elevator here. The bedding was very comfortable and clean, and when I needed to print something, they helped me without any problem. Overall, excellent value, perfect location, modern facilities, and friendly service. I would definitely stay here again!
