ION HOTEL Dongdaemun

The location is a short walk from Dongdaemun Metro Sta. exit no. 3. The main street in front of the hotel is bustling at all hours so it's relatively safe. The room is tiny but acceptable for a solo traveler.

Location: 4/5 Subway 4/5 Conveniently located near Dongmyo & Dongdaemun, you will have access to most places you need to go, though there is no direct connection to the popular Line 2 so you will need to do a trasnfer one station down at DDP. Took some points off since the walks are long between the lines. Airport 5/5 The airport bus stop is literally right outside the alleyway connecting the main street and the hotel. No complaints. Cleanliness: 4/5 Some mild stains on the sheets was found but overall for what you pay for, it is relatively clean and no big issues. You can request for your room to be made-up every morning. Ammenities: 4/5 Water pressure shower head is low, but stil gets the job done. All in-room ammenities was functioning well, and you also get water bottles everyday refilled (or take them from the lobby). One minor inconvenience is that there is no bathroom floor mat, so you can imagine many travellers might use one of the provided towels for that purpose 🤧 Overall budget-friendly and solo-friendly as it is located in a more neighbourhood area of Seoul with minimal tourists and crowd. Felt safe walking back even later in the night. Only issue is you would have to find food elsewhere, or order delivery because the options are pretty limited and the nearest CVS is a small 7-11.

I have to be honest this cozy hotel make me feel comfortable for my entire trips.I enjoyed staying room quietly during my business days.Besides that, the extremely good is this hotel near in every location I need it especially for my busy schedule.Airport drive take 1 hours and Limousine 6002 take you to nearest bus stop.Transportation take 3mins to Dongdaemun station and 2mins to bus stop which brings you to every attractive place in Seoul.Thank you ION Hotel for this wonderful hospitality! I will definitely stay in your hotel whenever my trip is to Seoul.
