ABOUTSTAY DONGDAEMUN

I went on a solo trip to Seoul this time. I chose this hotel because it had private rooms, cleanliness, location, and price, and the reviews I looked at were good and bad. It was in the same price range as a dormitory or capsule hotel, but the private room had a separate private space, which was reassuring, and it also had amenities that have recently been charged for, so it was just the right space for a solo traveler. Hotel prices are rising, I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity. [Good points] There was a security key at the hotel entrance ◎ The unmanned check-in was a kiosk type and was available in Japanese. The shared space on the 1st floor had a microwave, water heater, and a small counter. Almost all the amenities were available. Overall, it was clean and simple. YouTube and Netflix were also available ◎ It was about 5 minutes from the nearest station, and Gwangjang Market was within walking distance ◎ It's about a 20-minute walk from the Dongdaemun DDP area, so if you have time, it's a nice walk. There's a CU nearby, so you can feel at ease even if you need to go shopping suddenly. The shower water pressure and temperature were easily adjustable, so it was comfortable. [Things I disliked] The room door was thin, so the sound of the hair dryers in other rooms was quite audible. When staying with multiple people, you have to be careful about noise issues, so it's best to have 1-2 people. Although it was nice that there were separate charging cables for mobile phones, there was a poor connection and I couldn't use them. There was a dressing table with a mirror, but there was no chair, so it was difficult to use. There were stairs to the rooms on the second floor, so it was difficult to carry large carriers or heavy luggage.

If you're going to Dongdaemun, this is a good place. The only problem is that there are no tables, so you have to do your makeup while standing. I think this could be improved. The sheets and towels are new and feel nice. I stayed here because my usual hotel price went up. I was prepared for it to be small, so I have no complaints. The water pressure was okay, and I was surprised that there was even a toothbrush. They also clean the room. Please reduce the amount of amenities and put a table. The Japanese staff were nice. I'm glad I brought my own disposable slippers. It's okay if you don't have them. I guess the problem is the location. It's in 5th Street, so if you like that, you'll like the location. There's no problem with food, but it's on the izakaya street and I couldn't open the window. The noise and the smell. If you're going to Dongdaemun, this is a must-stay! If it's carry-on size, you can spread it out and make room for the aisle!
