Hotels near Seoul Urban Life Museum, Seoul

🏨Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemu’s location is perfect! It’s literally next to Hyundai Outlet mall and other big shopping malls in Dongdaemun. 🚊Subway and bus stop is walking distance. 🍱 Tons of restaurants around to choose from. 🛍️ Most shops are open until 5am around Dongdaemun so even if you arrive in Seoul late, you can still walk around and check some stores. 📝note: the hotel’s check in lobby is on the 14th floor, and it’s self service (very convenient). They also provide free bus ride to some places (look at the picture for reference). 🚌Airport shuttle bus is 18,000won (94RMB)

Good location, and there are many restaurants nearby. There is a shuttle bus stop of Incheon airport in front of the hotel. It's very handy that there is a washing machine/dryer in the room. However, it is a pain in the **** that you have to book to use the pool, and you can only book once a day per room. A couple won't always go swimming at the same time. There are only two lifts in the hotel room tower. You have to be patient. The perfume in the lobby was a bit pungent.

The location of Skypark Hotel is very comfortable for the travelers. It’s very close to 2 subway stations and only 7 mins walk from DDP. The room itself was very cosy and nice, but a bit small. There was everything we needed in the room. The beds and pillows were soft and comfortable, and the bathroom was very clean. What about the service though… The man at the front desk was pretty professional, but very cold. He took our passports, quickly pressed some buttons on the electronic kiosk, gave us the paper with the codes, very briefly explained how to use it and send us to the elevator without giving us any time to realize what is happening. Very quick check in and check out. The cleaning lady was very polite, helpful and understanding.

What a great experience for two girls trip! Highly recommend you to take taxi to get to hotel from airport. There is a 3 mins walk from subway but our luggages are huge. We don’t like to drag. The hotel is spacious. Our room is spacious and comfortable. We had a room with balcony. I hope try their breakfast next time.

Location: First of all, it was located in front of the bar of Chungmuro Station, so the accessibility was very good! As soon as I got off the station, it was easy to find because it was right there, and it was easy to move to the subway. In addition, there are many food nearby, so I ordered it to be delivered in the evening. At night, I went out with my friends and played in my favorite bar. 🍻 Room interior, cleanliness: First of all, the room stayed in a room for three people, but it was wider than I thought, so three people went to sleep. It was enough, very neat and clean. There was also a table, so it was easy to eat, and it was okay to bring a laptop and see the work! The bathroom is clean and Netflix is available (you need to use your own ID). There is a washing machine, induction, and sink, so you can cook and wash! (I haven't used it, but,) it was just new and tidy because the bathroom was just built. Is it a little unusual that the sink is on the outside? It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't as noisy as Hongdae or Sinchon. It was nice to be quiet at night, not like a noisy downtown area, but because of its good accessibility and location, it was convenient to use public transportation and places to eat or cafes around. It was nice to have a lot! I stayed with my friends, but I think it would be suitable if you are looking for a place to stay for long-distance business trips or business purposes.. !

The location is very strategic, super close to subway station line 2 and 4, and bus stop. Myeongdong main street is just 5 minutes walking distance but the most important is, the hotel is very clean and nice. The room can be a bit small and suffocating, but the room is clean and neat.

The Good Great location. Great location to enjoy Myeongdong street. Night market of Myeongdong is so lively and beautiful and unique experience for Seoul trip. Obviously it feels much safer to stay at hotel nearby. As for hotel, they got nice wine shop at first floor. Their lobby located on low floor and not 1st floor. Although, there is guardman on 1st floor who seems to be reliable. Roof top bar is also in good prices unlike usual ”hotel price”. I stayed at ”low bed” room which seems to be unusual for Korea. It was comfortable and that different experience was fun. The BEST Staff are amazing. I personally think Shilla are in line of Lotte's rivary. (two of top Korean hotel brands) Staffs at this hotel were so amazing. They seemed to have great balance with character. I've seen staff who are sweet and very friendly. While I've also seen staff with sharp and precise manner. Shila staff are professional with more ”trained” manner. Very polite. I have no complain but the friendliness is always more welcome for me. The lady at rooftop bar was a goddess. Not only she was beautiful(excuse me). Her works were very well oriented and professional. Constantly eye checking on the floor, checkin on guests condition and making sure everything is all right, a friendly communication with foreign kids. It was past 11pm and they were about to close if I remember correctly. Unless a five star luxury hotel, at this time of the business, staff are chatting, ready to set free from work. No, not at all. They acted as if they just opened the bar. I really felt strange. The Bad Breakfast is operated by a tenant restaurant. So totally different experience. It kinda breaks the whole experience of hotel and basically, it's tenant restaurant so they won't treat you like hotel guest. They are polite but can't response anything to do with hotel. If you've travelled Korea or Seould before, I beleive there are no stress. but if you are first timer, there could be more helpful service for foreigner, easier access, easier location etc. There are so many different hotels in Myeongdong so I can't give comparison. Although, it's Korean brand and I believe it worth a stay.

The hotel's location is very convenient. You can take the Airport Limousine Bus No. 6015 from Incheon Airport for 17,000 KRW per person, per trip, and get off right in front of the hotel. For your return trip to the airport, you can catch the bus at the same stop.

We spent wonderful time at the hotel. All staff were very nice and helpful, smiles on faces always and in particular I would like to thank Summer at the reception and Ashley Kim at the restaurant who addressed to our needs from time to time. The bed was comfortable and room was spacious. The decoration was stylish and modern. Breakfast was really good. Just two minor problems of the room- the drainage of the bath room was a little problematic and the air conditioning cannot be adjusted when it suddenly went up to 27 degrees, which was quite unbearable during summer time. But our overall experience was still excellent.

I spent 4 nights at ibis hotel, one of the lady at the front desk who can speak good English, and she was really nice, I was so grateful. My room was at 30/F, the view was awesome! It was clean, but the two cushions on my bed were super smelly… I wish the housekeeper could have noticed and changed the cover. The location of the hotel was great, it took me around 5mins walk from Yongsan Station exit 3 across the bridge to the hotel. Yongsan station is close to Sinyongsan station, so there is another choice if you travel to other line. I wanted to put this information here because when I was using the google map, it couldn’t give me an accurate walking direction. So hope this could help those who wanted to stay in this hotel. Overall experience I would say not bad, but compared to the other hotels located at Hongdae that I have stayed in the past, I think those are more convenient.
