GGuest UserThe hotel is located somewhere between Yeongdeungpo Station and Yeongdeungpo Market Station. There are some areas where I felt a little concerned about safety, but I think it should be fine as long as you're not walking alone late at night. Toilet paper cannot be flushed. The shower pressure is good. Only face towel-sized towels are provided. We stayed in a deluxe room with two people, but the bed was surprisingly small. There wasn't much space in the room either, so we couldn't open two suitcases. Garbage needs to be taken out by yourself, and you request cleaning when needed. Given the price, the service is what you'd expect, so I think it's best suited for experienced travelers!

GGuest UserCan't give 5 stars cause of View points. Firstly will share the plus point Positive: -Price are reasonable or even cheap -Room quite spacious for the price -Neighboring area is quiet, you still can hear if people open door next to you but still relatively quiet for 3 days stay -Amenities quite complete -Have computer but really old -Have TVs and lot of programs -Have several type of Charger -Have extended chord -Have good water heating showers -Toilet can be set to have warm seats -Walkable to subway station -Walkable to convenience store -Room is very clean for Motel standard Negative: -When I came staff doesn't speak English. Even I tried to give google translate and ask her to speak in it she refuse. So I didn't get what I want to ask. So I just grab my key -All rooms are non-Smoking. From the website of Trip.com I clearly order Smoking rooms (Staff need to update this information) -Its stated that you can see city views from window but it doesn't (You can see pictures of neighboring building and also the window of each rooms) From these 3 points I can't give full score. Other Negatives -Room looks old -No translation of using remote, Etc (You can translate from pictures tho) -No rooms slippers -The bidets of my toilet is broken and can't be used -Does not provide bath mat Hope these long reviews help.

GGuest UserThe hotel is conveniently located just one stop away from Dongdaemun Station, making it easy to find. There's a convenience store right in front, and while most restaurants nearby don't stay open late, there are still some good dining options around. Unlike what some other guests have mentioned, if you arrive around the 6 PM check-in time, a staff member will be there to assist you. I was even given the option to view two different room interiors before deciding. Since I had a suitcase and preferred to use the elevator, I chose a room on the 6th floor, and the staff's service was excellent. The room itself was spacious enough to open a large suitcase, and having a desk and chair was a definite plus. The layout with the sink between the shower and toilet prevented the toilet area from getting wet, which was great. They also provided a power adapter and a hairdryer. The room floor was heated, and the bed felt warm, possibly due to an electric blanket. There was also a water dispenser and a microwave on the first floor. I would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you!

GGuest UserI really loved this hotel + highly recommend kguesthouse dongdaemun premium. Even the room was a bit small, but the facilities were complete and the location was very strategic. They also provide parcel storage (which im super thankful for 🥺❤️). Our room might feel small for 3 people with 6 pieces of luggage, but it's okay since we didnt stay allday long in and just came back at night. So beside that, everything was absolutely worth it!!. It’s near the subway, bus stops, 7eleven, olive young, daiso, ddp and most importantly, near the airport limousine bus stop, including the night bus! We only need to walk a few meters to catch the night airport bus. My flight was at 7:30 AM, so I took the night bus so didn’t need to stay overnight at the airport :D

LL377It was my first time in Korea during the National Day holiday. I traveled with friends for a few days, and then they returned home. As a solo female traveler, I saw the price was decent, so I casually booked this hotel for two nights without much research. Once confirmed, it couldn't be canceled! This hotel is only suitable for a one-night layover, not for shopping or leisure tourists. I'll break down the pros and cons below. Also, you can find this hotel's address on China's Gaode Maps and Uber can get you there, but surprisingly, South Korea's local Naver Maps couldn't find the hotel name... Unless they improve their luggage policy, or if you only have a backpack, otherwise, tourists should look elsewhere. Price Pros: Compared to other options nearby during the National Day holiday, the price of this hotel was acceptable to me, around 290-300 per night. No other pros come to mind. Transportation Pros & Cons: ❌ It's quite far from the subway. The nearest subway station is Sinseol-dong Station on Line 1, a 10-minute walk. If you're not good at using Korea's Naver Maps, don't just walk, because I once got lost... ❣️ Taking the bus is more convenient. The nearest bus stop is just dozens of meters away: Bomun-dong Community Center. From there, take one stop to Sinseol-dong Station Crossroads, and then take the subway from Sinseol-dong Station on Line 1. ❌ Check-in time: If you arrive early, you can't check in early. You need to check in at 7 PM and check out by 12 PM the next day. If you check out after 12 PM, you'll be charged separately for the extra time. Also, no matter how many nights you've booked, by 12 PM the next day, you have to pack your luggage and take it with you. Then, you re-check in at 7 PM that evening. If you store your luggage at the hotel, there's an extra charge, and it's not cheap – you could book a decent hotel for that price. Having to take my luggage with me was a major pain; I stayed two nights and dragged my luggage around for a whole day, it was exhausting. Environment and Hygiene: I used my own towels and toothbrushes, not the hotel's. Rooms on the third floor are quite small. For those with no other options, choose a larger room on the fifth floor. Also, there's no deadbolt chain on the door, which made me, as a woman, feel a bit unsafe. Later, I read other reviews and it seems this hotel might be a couple's 'love hotel'? That would explain the different check-in times and luggage rules...

GGuest UserThe bathtub drain was quite clogged, which was a bit of a struggle. However, the TV remote in my room wasn't working properly, and when I reported it, the staff were very helpful and resolved the issue. The room itself was comfortable and very clean. I also liked that they provided face masks as part of the amenities. Plus, the location near Sinchon Station was excellent, making transportation very convenient. Overall, I was very satisfied with this place, especially considering the price. I highly recommend it.

AAnonymous UserGreat location, with a subway station and bus stops nearby. The room is tiny, like a goshiwon (a type of small, affordable room often found in Korea), only suitable for one person. The entire check-in process is self-service, making it ideal for a quick one-night stay.
