Not a bad place but a good distance from main locations like Hongdae. Lots of traffic noises at night

Dongdaemun Signature Tourist Hotel
Ok stay. Hotel a little dated, it is located on a good bus route. 20 mins to the markets we wanted to visit. Really good affordable restaurants in the area. Would have liked to stay abit more central but then we wouldn't have eaten at local great places. Would have liked bigger towels and a kettle ...
