Hotel Tradiup by the Designers

The hotel is conveniently located, just about a 5-minute walk to the train station. There are various restaurants nearby, and a night market in the evenings. It's also close to Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, where you can shop in renovated hanoks and find a wide selection of restaurants.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. There's a fresh breakfast from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM with a selection of food, tea, coffee from a machine, water, and juice. They have toast with jam and butter, local spicy snacks, rice, soup, meat, and you can even make your own omelet. There's also dry cereal with milk. Today they even offered an exotic fruit! 😊 The location is super convenient. It's close to three metro lines and a bus stop. If you want, you can even walk to some interesting spots. The room is quite small, but most importantly, it has a comfortable bed, air conditioning, and a shower with soap, shampoo, and hair conditioner. Towels and a white bathrobe are provided. It's an ideal place for a short stay. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. Iron and washing machine are free (you need to bring your own detergent). My only minor complaint is that I could have used a wardrobe for clothes, or more hangers or shelves, instead of the huge, wall-sized TV! By the way, the room also has a kettle, a fridge, and a hairdryer!

The hotel's location is excellent, and the environment is very comfortable. Bottled water and room cleaning service are provided daily. There's also a 24-hour coffee machine and karaoke available, which made for a fantastic experience.

I'm not sure how many times I've been to Korea, but this time I chose this hotel in Dongdaemun. The location is absolutely unbeatable, surrounded by subway lines 1, 3, and 5, making transportation incredibly convenient. You can also take the 6002 airport bus directly from Incheon Airport, and it's just a short walk from the bus stop. Plus, there are all sorts of Korean restaurants clustered nearby, so finding food is a breeze. The only minor drawback is a common issue with Korean hotels: the guest rooms are a bit small. However, there were only two of us traveling, and we spent most of our time out and about, so it was perfectly adequate. The most pleasant surprise was the free buffet breakfast for guests. You just swipe your card to enter, and it's located on the first basement floor. There's a wide selection of dishes and a good variety of drinks, including aromatic freshly ground coffee. You do have to fry your own eggs though! Overall, the price is decent, especially for travel during holidays or weekends.

This hotel's location is super convenient, close to Jongno 3(sam)-ga subway station exits 4 and 5. We arrived earlier than the official check-in time, and the staff were very accommodating, letting us head up to our room right away. The hotel offers free-to-use laundry machines (even providing free detergent!) and dryers. Every evening, you can also pick up complimentary drinks from the B1 floor. The breakfast was also excellent, with options like making your own iced latte. And there's a really friendly and helpful guy on the night shift who assisted us with looking after our belongings and answering questions. A lot of international guests stay here, and there's even a 'K room' for karaoke, complete with Chinese songs and new releases. Highly recommend it! If I get the chance to visit Seoul again, I'll definitely be staying here.

The rooms are small, but the staff is very responsive and helpful. The hotel's location is excellent.
