Dongchang Vacations from $851

Clean and simple. Not a super personal place, staff are there but not super interactive. Overall a fine place to stay.

Rooms were a lot bigger then others in Seoul. Beautiful, lots of space, comfy beds. The property was fantastic. No plug ins by the beds though! The breakfast wasn't included and it was pretty expensive but a very extensive buffet.

This hotel was adequate, but it has so much potential to be excellent if the rooms could be updated! The location is great - really close to train stations as well as the oldest street market in Seoul. Staff was very good; they helped us get taxis a few times within minutes (taxis are very cheap in Seoul). And they clean the room and provide water bottles daily. The wifi worked well, the AC was cold, and there were USB and two-pronged outlets compatible with US devices. There's a big old converter in the closet if you need to plug in a grounded three-pronged device. However, the rooms are older. Upon getting off the elevator on our 6th floor, you are greeted with a door to a storage room with peeling paint. The carpet is old. It seemed clean, just clearly old and worn. They attempted a few low-budget updates to the bathroom like newer wall tiles, but a few tiles were loose and needed grout or caulk. The sink was the lowest sink I've seen anywhere. Maybe we got a handicap-accessible room (I don't think it was), but I placed and sat down on a chair in front of the sink which made it about the right height for me ;-). All of this was fine and acceptable, but the biggest challenge was the old beds that were not comfortable. You can clearly see that the beds slope to the middle and it feels like it. Overall, it was a great location and clean room, but really just ok because of the age of the property and lack of updates, especially the beds.

Great location, clean room, had all the amenities we needed. Only two things were that the pillows were too tall, and the exit sign in our room was very bright

Great location, just cross the street to get to Myeongdong shopping street and night market. Subway station was also just a 5 min walk away. The Lotte shopping center was also across the street. The collection of stores there were only high end ones like Gucci but it did have a great food court downstairs. Btw, you can get to the food court by taking the underground shopping stairs right outside the hotel which enters directly into the food court. It was also great having a self serve laundry in the hotel although there were just 2 washers and 2 dryers which filled up a lot. The machines took only credit cards so no need to hassle with coins plus there's a machine to purchase laundry detergent and bounce dryer sheets as well also via credit card. We had a triple room and the strange thing is there was no drawers to store clothes so we had to use our suit case and the shelf in the closet. Individual bottles of water were also provided each day for free. To get to the hotel we used the airport K-limo bus which has a stop at the Westin across the street but if there are 3 or more of you take a taxi has it costs about the same or cheaper.
