Hotel Skypark Dongdaemun I

The neighborhood and soundproof is good. There are few breakfast options around the hotel (Tous les Jours, A Twosome Place, Ediya Coffee) with reasonable prices so you can easily go out for breakfast.

The air conditioner only worked for a short period of time after turning on. Although it was already cold in winter but sometimes the air conditioner automatically stopped operation so we felt like there was no airflow in the room and it was kinda hot. The nearest exit subway station is Exit 6 of Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station but keep in mind that there are very FEW escalators and elevators to ground levels so if you carry heavy luggage and use subways, be prepared for endless stairways!

Good location: Several metro stations and bus stops (also for night buses) within short walking distance (directly across the street to a few hundred meters); Public bicycles can be rented directly across the street; For those who like to walk, more distant sights such as Gwanghwamun Square or the five great palaces can also still be reached in under an hour on foot. For example, you can walk along the Cheonggyecheon River, which is very close to the hotel. I personally even walked twice to the main train station (about 3.6 km); Even later in the evening, restaurants and street stalls can be found nearby and at the DDP even shopping opportunities. Convenience stores (open 24 hours) are on every corner in Seoul anyway. Room and hotel facilities: The beds were comfortable; The room can be darkened well; The air conditioning cools well; Despite location directly on the main road and many guests in the hotel, it was quiet in the room; Water pressure and temperature in the bathroom were very good; It was cleaned thoroughly every day; Sockets at the bed were available, but were blocked by the bed, so I did not find them at first; There is a large table in the room, at which I worked once and ate a pack of ramen several times. There is also a kettle and coffee and tea in the room for this. Possibly chopsticks could be added. Otherwise, many utensils can be borrowed at the reception; The breakfast I have not used and can therefore make no statement about it; The coin-operated washing machines were also good and easy to use.

The WLAN is actually not particularly fast, but not terrible either. It is sufficient to stream videos. Besides, I would recommend a SIM card with unlimited data volume for the vacation anyway, then you won't have any problems. Personally, I would have liked a more detailed briefing. For example, I (and other vacationers who checked in at the same time) did not understand the use of the key card at first (you have to hold the card exactly over the handle). Also, I didn't find out until later that you are allowed to use the water in the hotel room refrigerator for free. I had thought of a mini-bar and had previously filled my water bottle at the water dispenser in the hotel hallway.

This hotel is located in a central part of Seoul with access to multiple subway stations at walking distance; this makes getting around very easy. The location is fantastic. The room and bathroom were clean and all necessary amenities were provided. The digital control system was very easy to use, and the bed was comfortable. The room was quiet so our sleep was restful during the two nights we spent.

There seemed to be some confusion among the front desk staff with regards to parking at the property. Booking.com clearly stated that the property provided free parking, however, when we arrived, we were told that we could NOT park our car EVEN IF we were staying at the hotel. The staff only allowed us to park after we made a bit of a fuss and pulled up the booking.com webiste and showed them the "free parking available at hotel" info on the website. Staff could be made more aware of their policies.

The location of the hotel is very good, close to bus stations, within walking distance of a mall and many streets with restaurants. Also, within walking distance of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. The staff is friendly. You can also do self checkin / checkout. The room is spacious, very clean with a comfy bed.

The breakfast lacks variety. There are no desserts and just espresso / americano in terms of coffee. Also, the light at the entrance of the room (which is turning on based on movement sensors) is too sensitive. Whenever someone walked past our room, that light would turn on.

The location, the room, the personal, evrything was perfect. Very pleased with evrything, at the end of the hot day in June (it was really hot outside) my dream was to get to my hotel room where the air conditioning is working so i can survive :D :D. Only one suggestion - there are lockers where we can leave the luggage, but it had problems the day we had to leave our luggage and since the lockers are operated by outside company the hotel could not fix it and contact them. If they can have their contact for the future it will be the best.

No flaws.

Metro exit/entrance 7 is really close to the hotel. There is also a great local restaurant right next to it where we tried the local foods

It is not clearly stated anywhere what facilities they have. We read online, searched the room and finally called the front desk to ask if they have a coin laundry. Later we found a folder with some papers in the desk drawer where it was mentioned the coin laundry and dryer are on the second floor. We are still not sure whether or not the breakfast is included in the stay.

I really satisfied with the hotel and will sleep here again when I visik korea next time. There was plenty convinience store nearby. Tour le jour and twosome are right infront of the hotel. Line 5 and many bus stations are nearby. There is also bus station for airport limousin rather than go to seoul station with AREX better use the bus limousine (it’s +9000 won but it’s worth it if you have luggage because from seoul station you have to take bus again and the numbering is a little bit complicated since there are so many bussses there)

Nothing

Ideally located

Breakfast could be improved and diversified

The hotel is amazing! The location is really good, 2 minutes away from the subway and 5 minutes from Dongdaemun. The room was clean and had everything we needed, there was also a water/ice dispenser in the hallway. The staff is really friendly and kind (we asked to extend our stay twice and they helped us every time).

There was a construction site right behind the hotel and it was a little noisy during the day; apart from that, I can't really find anything negative about the hotel. Everything was perfect and way beyond my expectations.

Prize match size of room.

noise reduction can be done better.
