Friendly DH Naissance Hotel by Mindrum Group
Staying at Friendly DH Naissance Hotel was an absolute delight! Located just steps from the Seongnyeonsuhak Station on University Road, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around Seoul. The neighborhood is vibrant and student-friendly, with countless cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores right outside the door—perfect for grabbing a quick bite or coffee anytime. The hotel itself is spotless, well-maintained, and offers excellent amenities. What really stood out? The bathroom features a built-in massage bathtub—a real luxury after a long day of exploring. It made my stay so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, this place delivers incredible value. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul.
Mangrove Sinseol
I stayed at Mangrove Sinseol Hotel for a few days and was really impressed. The location is perfect—right next to the subway station, just a 15-minute ride to Seongsu and about 30 minutes to Hongdae. The airport bus 6002 stops right outside, making travel super convenient. There are plenty of nearby convenience stores like 7-Eleven, CU, OY, Mega, and Mammoth—no long lines even during peak hours. The building has a secure entry with a password lock, and the elevator requires your room keycard, which adds peace of mind. The shared kitchen is clean and well-maintained, and the rooftop terrace offers a great view—perfect for relaxing in the evening. Check-in and check-out are fully self-service, and the machine supports Simplified Chinese, which is a big plus for introverted travelers. The bathroom is on the smaller side, and housekeeping comes every six days, but that’s not an issue if you’re staying just a few days. Overall, it’s a quiet, safe, and well-designed place with excellent value. Highly recommend for solo travelers.
Glue Hotel Dongdaemun
I absolutely loved staying at Glue Hotel Dongdaemun! The staff were incredibly polite and attentive from check-in to check-out. The room was spotless and well-maintained—every detail felt thoughtfully designed. I stayed for a few nights, and they even replaced the towels, bed linens, and glasses each time, which made me feel really comfortable and cared for. There were plenty of power outlets, so charging my devices was never an issue. The in-room TV was a big plus—streaming YouTube and Netflix made my downtime super enjoyable. The bathroom was clean, modern, and well-kept. Best part? The location is unbeatable. I walked to Gwangjang Market in under 20 minutes, perfect for exploring local food and shopping. If I ever come back to Dongdaemun, this is definitely where I’ll stay again. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and great value.
Hotel DM
Hotel DM is an absolute gem in Seoul! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the subway and airport shuttle, making travel to and from the city a breeze. What really stood out was the front desk staff who spoke fluent Chinese—when I said "Hello," their surprised yet welcoming reaction made me feel instantly at home. We arrived around 2:00 PM, and since our room was already cleaned, they offered us a free early check-in without hesitation. The room itself was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with three-prong outlets that worked perfectly with my Chinese plug—no need for a travel adapter at all. There's a fridge, modern bathroom fixtures, and everything felt fresh and well-maintained. Located in a quiet residential area, the neighborhood is full of authentic local gems. The famous Dongsan Galbi (the same spot as G-Dragon’s favorite) is right downstairs—seriously delicious. And just steps away, there’s a GS25 convenience store for snacks and drinks. Everything you need is within walking distance. From comfort to convenience, this hotel delivers on every level. I’d definitely stay here again—truly one of the best stays I’ve had in Seoul.

I had a fantastic stay at Hanil Hostel! The location was incredibly convenient—just a short walk to subway stations and major attractions. The staff were friendly and always willing to help with tips and recommendations. My room was clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly comfortable for a hostel setting. It’s clear they care about guest experience, and I truly appreciated the warm atmosphere and attention to detail.

Sungshin University Station Pav
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 location is quiet yet central, making it a great base for exploring the city. Excellent value for money and a comfortable stay overall.

Staying at Ara Hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The room was exceptionally clean—right from the moment I walked in, everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Located just steps away from subway access, getting around Seoul was super convenient. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and the value for money really stands out. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, and check-in was smooth and hassle-free. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seoul—it’s a great choice for both comfort and convenience.
Wolgok Galaxy 2
The facilities and location were excellent—very convenient for getting around Seoul. The only minor downside was being asked to check out by 11:00 AM, even though the checkout time listed was 12:00 PM. It felt a bit rushed, especially if you had a late morning plan. Still, the overall experience was fantastic, with great value for money. I’d definitely stay here again.

I stayed at Seoul N Hotel Dongdaemun for one night and was thoroughly impressed.

Staff were friendly and efficient throughout check-in and check-out. This place offers excellent value for money without compromising on comfort or cleanliness. If you're looking for a quiet, clean, and convenient base in Seoul, this hotel is definitely worth considering.
Seongbuk (Bomun-Dong) Piano
We originally planned to stay for two people, but when we wanted to add two more guests, the hotel surprisingly accommodated us in the same room with a small additional fee—truly a lifesaver! This flexibility made our trip stress-free and even more memorable. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. From check-in to checkout, every interaction felt genuine and warm. The location is convenient, the room was clean and cozy, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations.
