Hotels in Dongdaemun Market, Seoul

We stayed in a group of four, just enough, The room facilities are very satisfactory, two bathrooms, two large beds and two small beds. There are kitchenware, refrigerators, washing machines, and vinyl record machines. The top floor city view is very good, you can see the night view of Seoul. The fly in the ointment is that the hotel is on the mountain, the traffic may not be convenient, it is not easy to call a car, but the landlord can help to call a taxi. By the way, the landlord can speak Chinese.

At first, the hostel looks small, but once you arrive you’ll realise it’s a homey and comfortable place to stay. The location is very convenient, and the service is excellent. The facilities are well thought out and include a self-serve station with adaptors, luggage weight checking, tableware, water stations, and even laundry and microwave equipment. Everything is easy to access and makes day-to-day stays much more convenient. Customer service was also a highlight—staff were kind, warm, and really helpful. If you’re looking for a luxurious 5-star hotel experience, Yumdam Stay may not be the best fit. However, if you want an affordable stay with a comfortable atmosphere, this hostel is definitely a great choice.

Great location and very attentive, friendly service. The room was clean and tidy. My only minor complaint is that the table and chairs were a bit awkwardly placed and tight. The cleaning staff came to tidy up every day, which was excellent. There's a bus stop right outside, and it felt safe and convenient even coming back late at night.

A very good option for staying for a week. Spacious rooms, an elevator, good in-room amenities, and pleasant staff. First of all, the area is excellent. It’s a lively, authentic Seoul, and just outside the neighborhood you’ll find postcard-worthy spots and major tourist attractions. Staying here allows you to experience the rhythm of daily life alongside local Seoul residents and really feel the city from the inside. Plus there's also many convenient metro stations nearby. As for the hotel itself, there are both positives and negatives. Starting with the downsides: maybe I was just unlucky, but the shower head was in very poor condition and barely worked. Hopefully, this will be fixed. There’s also no option to open the window for some reason — it has a strange four-layer window system, which is… okay. The tap water is quite hard, but as far as I understand, that’s common across most of Seoul. The room keys don’t look very secure, and the key fob is huge — about the size and weight of a solid, heavy iPhone. It’s easier to leave the key at reception when you go out and pick it up again when you return. Another downside is the poor sound insulation from the corridor. When the Korean and Russian cleaning staff start chatting in the morning, it works better than any alarm clock. In some places, you can see signs of the hotel’s “age” and wear over time, but it’s not too serious. On the plus side, in addition to the usual amenities like toothbrushes and basic hygiene kits, each room has large bottles of body lotion, cream, and something else I didn’t even have time to figure out. That’s a definite bonus. Next, despite the inability to open the window, the rooms aren’t stuffy at all — on the contrary, they’re comfortably warm. There’s also heated flooring. All the staff are pleasant, friendly Koreans who are always willing to help if needed. A solid 4 out of 5.

My 17-year-old daughter and I stayed here. There's no elevator, and the stairs are a bit low in some spots where you might bump your head, but they're not too long, so it was acceptable. When checking in, they asked for my passport, and after verifying it, they offered me an outlet adapter, asking if I needed one. I had brought my own, but I still borrowed theirs. The fridge had two 500ml plastic bottles and small cans of orange and mango juice, which was a nice touch. They provided toothbrushes, and in the room, there were also shampoo, body soap, and even toner. Under the large TV, there was a monitor and a PC, and the Wi-Fi connected instantly. Towels were provided for the duration of our stay. At first, I panicked because if the door wasn't closed tightly, the lock wouldn't engage properly, making it impossible to open. But once I got the hang of it, it was fine! When I lay on the bed, it felt firm, but there was a warm sheet underneath. The initially cool bed sheets gradually warmed up, and by the time I went to sleep, turning it off made for a very comfortable night. With a bus stop nearby and a convenience store right in front, getting around was super easy. This was my fourth trip to Korea, and I'd only ever been to Apgujeong, Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, and Gwangjang Market. Being able to drop off our bags and head out again, and having a roof at the bus stop to wait under during the rain, was a real lifesaver! It was a convenient and affordable stay, so I definitely want to use this place again next time I visit Korea! Thank you.

The young lady at the front desk of the hotel is super good, and the booking on Ctrip is also very fast. We searched for several hotels, but they were all booked and refunded, and the online and offline were inconsistent. This one was booked online, and an email was sent immediately, very much. There is a convenience store around, and you can store your luggage in advance. It's very good. There is a big cockroach in the room, and the trembling slippers are killed. I still hope that the cleaning can be done. thanks
