Absolutely perfect – one of the best values I've experienced in Seoul! I’d definitely come back again. The location is unbeatable: right next to Subway Line 2, the main artery of the city’s transit network, making it easy to reach almost any destination. Just across the street is Dongdaemun Market, and it's only two stops to Myeongdong – home to Lotte Duty Free and tons of great shops and eats. The Airport Bus 6001 stops right at the hotel, just a 5-minute walk away – no stress with transfers. Convenience stores are everywhere nearby, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. There’s a friendly guy on staff who speaks Chinese, which made things so much easier, especially for luggage storage. Even though it’s not on a busy road, there’s a police station right at the corner – and I actually saw officers patrolling in their car late at night. That kind of security really adds peace of mind. If you want comfort, convenience, and a safe, welcoming stay in Seoul, this place is a must-try.
The hotel is excellent overall—great location, super convenient for getting around Seoul, and the staff are very friendly. My only confusion was that I booked a two-night stay, but I had to check out on the second day and couldn’t recheck in until after 6 PM. That timing restriction felt a bit odd and wasn’t clearly explained upfront. Still, the team handled it well, and even though I had to move my luggage, it didn’t ruin the experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and the value for money was strong. Definitely would stay here again.
The first room had a strong smell of smoke, which was quite unpleasant, so I asked to be moved. The staff were very kind and promptly arranged a new room without any hassle. However, the second room wasn’t much better—the bathroom felt a bit dark and slightly unsettling, and the overall facilities were just average. That said, the price is definitely affordable, making it a solid choice if you're on a budget. It’s perfect for students or travelers looking for a no-frills stay with good value. While not luxurious, it gets the job done, especially considering the cost.

The room was spacious and well-designed, with a comfortable bed and pillows that made for a restful night’s sleep. The air conditioning system is easy to adjust, allowing me to set the perfect temperature with just a few taps.

Staying at the Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Seoul Gangnam was an exceptional experience. The service and amenities were top-notch—everything from the elegant rooms to the attentive staff exceeded expectations. While the location isn’t in the heart of the bustling city center and there aren’t many shops or attractions right outside, that’s actually one of its charms: it offers a peaceful, quiet retreat amidst the urban energy of Seoul.

Staying at OYO Hostel Dongdaemun 1 was a delightful experience. The location is incredibly convenient—nestled in a quiet alley just steps away from the subway entrance, making it easy to explore Seoul’s main attractions. The atmosphere throughout the hostel is warm and welcoming, especially on the 5th floor where breakfast is served with soft background music. The heating system works well during winter, keeping the rooms cozy and comfortable. While there are no disposable toiletries (like toothbrushes), they do provide towels, which is thoughtful. Be aware that there’s no elevator—so if you’re not up for climbing stairs, request a lower-floor room. Noise levels are decent; even though soundproofing isn’t perfect, there’s minimal disturbance at night. One of my favorite moments? Sipping coffee on the 5th floor during a snowfall, listening to music, chatting with friends, and watching the city turn white—it felt like a scene from a movie. The front desk staff speaks excellent English, but service hours are limited to 8 AM–10 PM. For other times, you’ll need to use alternative communication methods. Overall, this place offers great value, friendly vibes, and a unique charm. A solid choice for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in central Seoul.
