“Great hotel! A good location and very good staff!”
The hotel is near many tourist spots. It’s a good location. Very clean and comfortable, smooth processes for check in and check outs. Good breakfast. We are vegetarians, so the staff provided us with fresh fruits and vegan dishes, which was very thoughtful.

“Great hotel with a huge flaw”
10/10 would not stay again. For the price I paid for 10 nights, I would top up just abit more for a grander hotel.

“10/10 would not stay again”
The convenience to doota mall/DDP and dongdaemun station. The staff were superb, extremely friendly. Shoutout to the doormen, they would ask for your cab number (if you’re waiting for one) and actually go out of the hotel premises to wait and lookout for your taxi and guide them into the hotel for you. Impeccable service.

“The perfect Hotel to stay in Seoul”
JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul is a lovely hotel and the staff are absolutely amazing - it is a lovely clean hotel and has everything that you need. Rooms are immaculate, we had a corner suite with wonderful views. House keeping staff kept the room immaculate and all the staff were extremely friendly. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice and we ate at the steak restaurant for one meal which was perfect. Probably one of the nicest hotels that we have stayed in.
