Hotels near Dongdaemun Municipal Library, Seoul

Excellent breakfast ! Nice view ! Nice swimming pool !

Comfortable bed. Large, bright room and all accessible kitchen items

I absolutely loved that it was straight in front of dongdaemun station exit 6. Saved us when we were so exhausted after carrying our luggage. Also LOVED how convenient and easy it was to use. The place was amazing, rooms were clean and space was super optimized. Location was also great for us as tourists. I just loved everything about it.

Prime location in the heart of dongdaemun. It is a 5 minute walk to all the main markets which makes it super convenient. The room itself was super clean with a comfortable mattress and sheets. The staff are very friendly as well and they were accommodating to all my needs. Highly recommend this hidden gem to all travellers!

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.

Proximity to public transportation. Well equipped and comfortable room. Good quality furnishing and appliances. 2 bathrooms 🥰. Acceptable room size. Mattress was comfy.
