Location is really good. If you are not bothered by hotel condition being old, value for money is good because of location.

Hotel near subway.
The hotel is clean although a bit old. Very near to subway Dongdaemun Line 4 & 1 and the entrance is in front of hotel. Taxi arrangement to Incheon Airport by hotel staff and on time. The staff is very helpful and kind.

The hotel is not money worth. Not next time
The hotel was disappointed. The facilities were old, there was not even a curtain on the bath tub. Room was small, light were too dim. Everything was not right. The only good thing is location, right close the Dongdaemun station, nothing else.

The hotel location is very good however it is a very old hotel and what I am very concern of is the room carpet. It is really very old and torn at some part which I dare not even walk barefoot in the room. It will be good if they can look into it and change all the old carpet.

Bad, stinky hotel rooms, Good location
The hotel Dongdaemun locates right next to the Dongdaemun Market and several other shopping malls. So, for fashion shoppers this is a very convenient location. Also, there is a metro station right in front of the hotel- another big plus. Hotel itself is very very old and shabby. No breakfasts are served at the hotel so you would have find food among many asian style, fast food shops. Rooms were stinky, dark. Bathroom was old, toilet flashed poorly. In overall, hotel itself is poor although it is still in business because of its location.

my vacation
Quite nice for 24hours shopping neighbourhood, but it has a bar or spa on something loud on the 8th floor, and can't sleep very well during midnight, because i can hear the loud on 7th floor. Don't expect too much on the room service, since i only saw 1 single person in the lobby, and no services offered. Rooms are quite tidy but very very old.

Not very much impressed
Location is very convenient, close to station, Dongdaemun market & all shopping complex. But room was very old, and noise from local pubs nearby in night time was a little annoying. When I entered my room, I found nearly empty refreshment bottles were left on the table, thought the room might be still occupied to last guests. Then I saw rubbish bin was full, it made me felt disgusting. Bathroom was maintained clean. I may recommend this hotel to young backpackers or males, but not to mature females.

A pleasant surprise for the price
Excellent location. Free wifi. Excellent air conditioner. The hotel is not new or luxurious but is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. Soap, clean towels, refirgerator, shampoo, hair dryer. It is close to a 24 hour shopping mall , a seven eleven, and really close to the metro station. Is great for a very good price.

東大門駅⑥番出口目の前 東大門靴卸売市場 には徒歩3分というロケーション　東大門の市場仕入れのでひとり旅の時には便利で気に入ってます 古いホテルではありますがバスタブもあります 前回6月に泊まった時から部屋のリニューアル改修工事が進めていましたが 内装.壁紙.リネン類綺麗になりました。 以前はタオルやリネン類シミが取れないものを使っていたりしたので大変気持ちよかったです。 古いホテルではありますが掃除は行き届いています。 フロントは3人のアジョシのローテーションで、どの方も日本語を理解してくれます。 とてもアットホームな穴場ホテルなので、今後もリピート予定です。 昔はサウナも併設されていたので、ぜひ復活してほしいけれど、これ以上便利になったら予約殺到されても困るので 単なる希望にしておきます(笑)

立地の良さと料金の安さで、毎回利用させてもらっています。 設備は決して綺麗とは言えませんが、歯ブラシやミネラルウォーターのサービスなどもあり、この値段なら言う事なしです。 部屋もわりと広いので、スーツケースを広げるスペースも充分にあります。 タオルも毎日交換してくれますが、シミ付き、穴あきタオルも混ざっているので、キレイなタオルを好む方は持参した方がいいかも？

場所は、すごくいいです！ 地下鉄おりてすぐなので！ ただ、トイレのタンクの水の音が、ずっとしてました... 寝るだけだから、汚くても文句はないのですが、音はちょっと残念です。 あと、シャワーも突然、熱くなったり冷たくなったりでした(笑)

びっくりするぐらいうるさく（上にカラオケがなぜか入っている）4泊したが何度もお願いしたが1度のみのベットメイキング。なぜかと問うとメイキングする人が休みだそうで話になりませんでした。フロントへ毎日タオルを貰いに行く（しかも居ないことがほとんど）ユニットバスも水はけが悪くトイレも床がびちゃびちゃで使いました。駅近くってのだけが良かったです。
