Mayplace Seoul Dongdaemun

The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, so not so much noise a big crowds. Most of the reception staff was really nice and helpful. However there were some who didn't bother to help you with getting a taxi or similar. Please not that if you don't have Korean mobile number and/or you don't speak Korean. Calling a taxi or installing an App can be quite a challenge.

As said in the "what I did like" section staff was occasionally helpful and occasionally not ( from person to person) Most of the restaurants and life was at other places e.g. Dongdaemoon or similar. So having metro closer would be much more convenient. Metro was approximately 15-20min walk so you can't really just quickly jump around. The breakfast in the hotel was really bad, so you would have to look for some other place to eat, making it less comfortable.

Cozy place! The beds are very comfortable, and the room is very clean. the fact that there is a coin washing machine was amazing !!

Far from the subway station Our room was located next to the stairs.. which was noisy at some point.. it felt like someone was trying to get in to our room which was a scary thing to hear every-time especially at night. but it was just the door to the stairs.

Staff was polite and helpful. The bed and the room was huge. Excellent value for money. Location is very good, close to many buses and only 10 min walk from the nearest metro station. Very nice rooftop for enjoying a drink while having a look around.

Noisy AC that we could not turn off. We found some hair on the pillows and in the bathtub. Nothing dramatic because the rest of the room was very clean despite this.

Location is good. It's convenient for visiting some beautiful palace in town. Near the bus stop so you can easily take the bus to go anywhere. Beside the street is not crowded so you can enjoy your stay

The air-con is not quite good. We didn't know it's working or not. Sometimes feel a bit hot in the room so we have to open windows which we can hear the noise from street

The location is fantastic with several bus stops within a short walk, walking distance to the palaces, three different convenience stores within 200 meters, as well as the Ihwa-dong area for good eats. Gwangjang market is a short bus ride away also. Rooms were cleaned with fresh towels every time we came back. The staff were very polite and helpful as well.

It was definitely very comfortable and the staff were extremely helpful if you needed anything. Unfortunately our air-conditioning was broken so we had to keep calling the front desk to turn it on or off but it wasn't too much of a problem because we were out and about for most of the day. One particular receptionist (the young individual with glasses - sorry I don't recall his name) was very helpful and genuine! The location was perfect, commutable to anything you would want to see in Seoul including the palaces which were all a walking distance. You can also see the palace from the hotel rooftop. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Everything was good :)

The property itself was very good. The lobby was clean, they had a coin laundry room and a beautiful rooftop terrace. The room was very good, the only thing that was a little too small was the wardrobe. Except from that, everything was excellent. Staff was the nicest! They even recommended us great places to visit and genuinely cared. Housekeepers we’re the sweetest and always considered if we needed longer to get ready :) BTW: the location is perfect for young people/students since it’s like a university district with many young people and lots of fun things to do!

Good location, comfortable suite.

Breakfast was the same every day and we had a 7 day stay. Need change in menu.

It was a nice room with a comfy bed and a big TV in front of it. There's a nice view over the city and mountains. The bathroom was nice but I had issues with the shower (see negative points). The staff were very friendly. The lobby and outside were very warm and nicely decorated with Christmas decorations which was a nice touch. Also, the shampoo in the shower dispenser made my hair really soft! The location is good too, its easy to get around to attractions.

I don't know why, but whenever I used the shower, the water would end up over the floor. I think its because the shower is one without a door - it just had a glass barrier that went halfway across. Full disclosure, my friend did not have this same issue, although we both had the shower set at the same angle. We theorised that maybe its because I had longer showers. It was a bit annoying though.

The staff at the reception amazing people and very helpful. Cleaning staff very kind and very sweet. Got all help i needed from them. The cleaning was spot on. The nice reception guys thank you so much for a great service. They helped me with resturants and answered all my questions. Specially when i wanted to eat beef they helped me with pictures hehe which part i want so i could explain at the resturant. I will be back again and stay in same hotel.

I wish there was microwave in the room even though there was in the second floor so wqrm up your food. Other than that there was nothing at all. All was good. I'm very satisfied.
