Experience of the stay
I thought it was near Dongdaemun because it was labeled Dongdaemun District, but be careful as it is quite far from the touristy Dongdaemun. Since the area is a bit detached from tourist attractions, I would recommend it to those who want to experience local Seoul. The room was compact and had no windows, typical of a motel. The front desk did not speak Japanese, so communication was in English. Traveling alone, I found the local Seoul refreshing and interesting, as the recent Dongdaemun and Myeongdong are overflowing with Japanese tourists.
Experiences during the trip
I ordered takeout from Kyochon Chicken nearby and ate in my room. When I walked around, I found Korean-style houses and alleyways like those seen in Korean dramas, as well as local restaurants that seemed to cater only to locals, which I found enjoyable.
