Experience of the stay
Must-see information! When I arrived at the room and opened the door, my daughter exclaimed, 'Wow! Amazing!' at first sight.
I made a reservation for the "Standard Double Hotel Building" (with a campaign that includes 20,000 won in dining vouchers).
Surprisingly, I was upgraded for free to a suite in the Residence Building.
The reason I stayed in this dream hotel was to make the most of my time for night shopping in Dongdaemun, as I had limited time.
With this location, I didn’t have to worry about the last train. I could actually walk to places like NYUNYU, and restaurants were open late, making it perfect for utilizing my time effectively.
A nice scent wafts through the hotel lobby. The reception staff on the 20th floor was very smartly behaved and made for a pleasant check-in experience. A credit card is required for the deposit during check-in.
This is truly a five-star hotel. I was able to stay at such an amazing hotel thanks to HafH! I thought I should work hard every day to stay here again!
- Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, Exit 12 (Exit 12 has escalators; it stops when Dundun closes. This station is quite deep, and if you take the stairs, there are quite a few steps).
I found it! Even when the escalator at entrance 12 is stopped, there’s an employee entrance door to the left of the escalator, which seemed to be open when I used it. The elevator is still functioning even when the escalator stops, making it usable (I'm not sure if it’s for employees, but locals were using it as well). Once you go up the escalator at exit 12, you’ll arrive in no time.
- The room: First of all, the size of the room. There’s a bench next to the door where you can place and open your suitcase. It was possible to open two large suitcases side by side just with that. I opened every door to explore (laughs). This closet is big enough for a person to fit in—there are plenty of closets.
There are towel gowns in the closet and the shower room. One in the shower room and one in the room were different materials; one was towel-like, and the other had a fluffy feel. The TV is large, and besides the bed, there's a large L-shaped sofa (about the size of a single bed) and a large round table where you can also have meals.
- The bathroom is extremely clean. There are truly no points of concern anywhere; it has a big mirror, and although there’s no bathtub, the bathroom is warm and shows care in its design.
There were shampoo and conditioner in the shower room. Amenities are quite limited, so bringing your own is necessary (I think it was shampoo, conditioner, and maybe a shower cap. There was hand soap, but I don't think there was body soap. The shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap smelled the same as the pleasant scent wafting through the hotel. There’s no toothbrush as per regulations, so don’t forget that.
- There seems to be an indoor, rooftop, and outdoor pool, as well as a dry sauna. The indoor pool was beautifully lit, and I would love to use it next time.
This was the best hotel where I thought I would love to just relax all day without going out. Being able to upgrade to such a high level, I truly felt happy here. It made me think that I should work hard every day so that I can stay here again!
Experiences during the trip
The location is just perfect. It's a short walk to the area in Dongdaemun that stays open late at night. You can comfortably stay without worrying about the last train at places like Nyunyu Dundun Mask Shop.
For dinner, I went to a BBQ place called Ichadol, which BTS has visited. The cheese grilled set here is so delicious that I keep coming back for it.
For two people, it's under 40,000 won. There's plenty of food.
Crossing right in front of the hotel, you go in the second entrance on the right. The popular toast sandwich shop EGGDROP is next door. Both are right by the hotel and it was truly excellent.
EGGDROP seems to open from 7 AM. Even if it's crowded, the second-floor dining space seems to be relatively available.
There's an open terrace which is cute with its white decor, highly recommended!
