As a solo older travel who had mobility limitations this facility made traveling to Seoul enjoyable.
The room was adequate and well maintained providing a consistent cleanliness.
The breakfast offer was delicious and fullfilling, and the staff was helpful.
The staff at the registration desk was always helpful with directions, getting transportation, and providing solutions for unplanned issues.
This hotel is very economically worthwhile.
Fantastic location.
Very small room but adequate.
Good facilities and excellent services.
Breakfast buffet(need to pay ₩9,900) helped to start the day.
Gym was small, and laundromat had only a pair of washer/dryer.
Air conditioning worked well, and bed was comfy.

-Rooms had a damp moldy smell, floors were cover in stains. Bed was comfortable.
-traveling with a large suit case, no were to place it beside the floor but can not fully slide under the bed.
- Couldn’t walk around the bed the way it was positioned in the room.
breakfast was good as long as you showed up within the first hour. After that you were lucky to get stuff. But, worth showing up early for.
The air conditioning was broken in the first room and we were a bit cold for the first night, but the staff was very kind and quick with changing rooms for us.
The area is very convenient in going around Seoul.
Disappointing experience. The room was dusty, the carpet was full of stains. Not enough room to even hang the clothes as my coat was brushing against the teapot.
Breakfast was really sad. Just to give you an idea of the class of this establishment - the sugar for coffee in the breakfast area was in a glass jar from strawberry jam.
Pros: close to the center, a small grocery store and fruit stall are right there.
Check in was quick and hassle free. Excellent WiFi and great location. The carpet in the room was extremely stained. We had two single beds and they were really small, however slept well.
The property & room were very good for the price we paid. The room was a bit small, but it was ok for the 2 of us. The front staff were very friendly and extremely helpful during our stay. It is within walking distance of many restaurants & shopping malls & stores. Train line is just outside Travelodge, and the airport bus is just across the street. They have a nice rooftop area with tables that you could sit and enjoy the city scenery. I would recommend
Check-in and received the dirty room. Bed sheet not clean, there is no warm water, especially the toilet is super dirty. Call the lobby to tell that the room are dirty and they said that the house keeping is not working until tomorrow. Also they mention about “if you need your room clean, please call them ahead”. So disappointed when received the room.
We stayed five nights in this hotel in a 'superior room', which is essence, was clean and tidy but somewhat on the very small size; tiny in fact; a bathroom and a bed with not much space between. However, one needs to consider that Dongdaemun is a big tourist area. The staff were very facilitative and overall, we enjoyed out stay.

Very noisy.
Not convenient connecting for the public transportation .
No restaurants in the hotel
Tucked away between the busy streets of Dongdaemun and Myongdeong, this foreigner friendly hotel sits in the wholesale home building supply district and dried fish market. It’s still very quiet and the hotel rooms have the bare necessities— tv, mini fridge, shower, tea kettle and desk. Subway is 2 block walk and bus stop is 2 block walk. Cafes and restaurants near by.
This hotel could use some updating. It is a perfect hotel.for a traveling student. The beds are comfortable but our room had stained carpet that needed to be replaced. I purchaesd the breakfast package and the food was cold everyday. This hotel was a hit or miss.
Hotel was great and was close to the DPP and metro station. breakfast was basic but good and affordable. the only issue i had was that the room would only get hot. i wasn't able to turn on the AC cool option. i fixed the issue by just turning off the heater and keep the room at what every temp it would stay at. i would stay at this hotel again especially since it was next to a GS25.
Overall staff was good and the room was small yet had the right essentials and ac was adequate. My only issue was the bedding was terrible. Ive been in seoul for 6 years and this was probably in my top 5 worst hotel stays.
Great customer service, they assisted us on any queries and always great us with a smile when we pass by. Albeit the slightly cramped room, it was pretty clean and cosy. Would stay again for the affordability and the convenience to many of the landmarks and places of interest.
Good area, convenient. However it might near to warehouse or wholesale stores so areas around might be different. Value for money. They given us a room at the end of the floor but we have requested to not have that.
