Travelodge Dongdaemun Seoul

This hotel is in a great location, there is a lot to do. The famous food market featured on Netflix is only a block away as well as a beautiful river walk.

We just visited Seoul for the first time and didn't know what to expect so we just googled places and hotels that still had rooms left because most of the hotels were fully booked because of the worldwide 25th scout jamboree being held. And this was one of the few hotels left that had a room good for 2 adults and a kid. Anyways, it was a blessing in disguise since right outside the hotel you can find the underground mall for Dondaemun where you can actually walk to different subway lines. It's also walking distance to the Gwangjang Market (around a 15min walk only) and around 10-15min walk to DDP complex and shopping center/subway to line 4 and 2. You can walk to the line 4 subway station and take that to go to Myeongdong station. There's also a 7-11 within walking distance, coffee shops, and CU convenience store too. The rooms are clean, showers hot and strong, and you can hang out on the 21st floor to eat or just look at the surrounding area of Seoul. Overall a fairly good hotel and pricing was right on point. Staff was friendly and helpful, and their English was ok.

#1 reason is the staff is amazing! Very helpful and kind! They make you feel comfortable and welcome. They are able to communicate in English and always willing to help me with directions or any questions I had! They make it feel like a warm environment! #2 the bed/pillows were sooooo comfortable, best sleep I’ve ever had on vacation! #3 the breakfast is really good and a good price!!! #4 the shower is very nice! Water pressure is perfect and there is shampoo and body wash available, which smells amazing! #5 rooftop garden that overlooks the city! #6 sitting/coffee area in the front lobby #7 rooms are secluded from hallway and elevator so you don’t hear so much traffic and other guests. #8 convenience store and bank right next to property for t-money card and cash withdrawal! #9 good location- centrally located to many things!

Clean, bright , staffs were friendly especially Joseph , Stepyani and Michelle . They are very approachable and helpful to assist . The location is so convenient and easy access from the airport . Catch a bus no 100 or 104 to Myeongdong, the bus stop across the road from Myeongdong, Namdeamun or Seoul Station. Many cafes and restaurants approximately about 5 -7 minutes walk towards DDP area . Many money exchange around the hotel across the road at the traffic light and walk about 3-5 minutes you’ll see money exchange stores. My room view was amazing from level 19! Thanks to Joseph😊. Because we were happy staying there we extended one extra night . There is an airport bus stop 6001 across the road from the hotel. Thank you!

Lövely view from the 20st floor over the city! Close to loads of nice areas walkable or by subway , huge Asian breakfast buffet with different stuff daily , big nice bed , nice shower
