Hotels near Dongdaemun Municipal Library, Seoul

Location: very close to subway-station. Staff is very friendly. Rooms are very clean and well equipped.

Great service and very quite room

I booked a room at a hotel I've never seen since I visited Seoul. I was so surprised when I checked in! It was so clean and spacious! "I felt the service in the drawer. Everything was prepared!" It was nice to think about it. The staff greeted me brightly and treated me kindly. Thank you. They even offer breakfast. There is even a laundry area on the first floor. It was amazing. The bed was big and soft. On the first floor, the staff provided free canned drinks. The staff guided me. I enjoyed the drink! I would like to stay again when I visit Seoul next time. There are many places to eat around the hotel. It will be a good memory. I will definitely recommend it to others. Thank you!

We were three girls traveling together and booked their only apartment on the top floor. There’s no lift, but we honestly didn’t mind at all. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and newly renovated, with everything we needed (washing machine, separate toilet/bathroom, and daily housekeeping which was a lovely surprise). What truly made this stay unforgettable were the owners, Mr. Lee and his family. From the moment we booked, they were incredibly attentive. Jason messaged us before arrival to help with directions and luggage, and throughout our stay both he and Mr. Lee were always ready with tips, guidance, and checked in on us, whether it was late night or early morning. Their kind gestures went far beyond what you’d expect from a hotel. They even hosted a small chicken gathering for us on our last night, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Their warmth, thoughtfulness, and constant presence made us feel not just welcome, but at home. The hotel also felt very safe as the entrance is only accessible with your room key, and Mr. Lee would stay awake until all the guests had returned at night, which gave us so much peace of mind. The location is also excellent. Just a minute’s walk from Jongno 5-ga station, with buses right outside that take you across the city (Myeongdong was just one bus away). Dongdaemun is also a short, scenic walk along the stream. We felt completely safe returning late at night, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and pharmacies nearby. Gwangjang Market is only a 5-minute walk. The building itself is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, with cooling air conditioners on every floor, a clean and spacious rooftop terrace, and a welcoming lobby where tea, coffee, and biscuits are always available. But above all, it’s the people who made this place so special. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, along with Jason and Henry, go above and beyond in a way that’s rare to find.

the location is great, entrance to train station (euljiro 4) is almost at the door step, walkable distance to qwangjiang market and DDP. the room although small, has a washer/dryer so my husband and i didn’t need to bring too much clothes for our nine days trip in seoul

The location, although not in Myeongdong or other main areas, was a very lovely place to stay as a solo traveller. I enjoyed my stay tremendously, and the staff was very helpful too. I would recommend this place to anyone travelling to Korea, and I myself would revisit this place again. Very lovely stay!
