Arirang Hill Hotel Dongdaemun

We stayed in two rooms for six days. The rooms, towels, and bedsheets were clean, and the cleaning service was excellent! Even when we left the room at 2 or 3 p.m., it was still cleaned. The rooms were exactly as in the photo: big, clean, and bright, with a great view. The rooms had many storage spaces, a safe, a teapot, an iron and an ironing board (by request), bathrobes, shampoo, hair conditioner, body wash, and body lotion. The breakfast was great. You have a variety of meals: omelets, fried eggs, sausages, croissants, fresh salad, dumplings, holland waffles, toast bread, jam, butter, good coffee, and black tea (rare in Korea). The hotel's location was perfect. It has a cafe with coffee and desserts, a convenience store, an ATM, and many restaurants and shops nearby. The bus and metro stations were also close.

The hotel is Walking distance to train station but need to climb up by staircase, not convenient for heavy luggage. Airport bus 6011 reach bus stop nearby, is about 10mins walk across the street. Nearby many food stores. The room for twim sharing is big and bathroom look clean. Reception staff are helpful.

This hotel is very close to Sungshin subway station and the nearby entertainment district is only a few minutes walk away (as this is a university area the entertainment is largely chicken restaurants and karaoke but there are some nice galbi places). We got a room at the end of the hall which was really quiet. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom new and well-maintained. Cleaning staff were prompt and helpful with requests. There's also a coffee shop in the lobby which offers a 10% discount if you show your room keycard.

Rooms were clean, modernised and decent sized for Korea. Room amenities were great and in good condition. Beds pillow and linens were very soft and comfortable

The location was great. We enjoyed the more local/less touristy feel of the area. It was still close to main attractions, and extremely convenient for all modes of public transport, including international airport limousine bus, and taxis were also readily available. All staff we encountered were proficient in English, which was very helpful as our Korean was very limited, making our stay much easier. The hotel was modern and efficient and met all standard traveller requirements: beds and bathrooms had good quality products and were very comfortable; breakfast buffet had a range of food adequate for most palates, although limited with fresh fruit and pastry options; the cafe offset in the front lobby space was very handy for a quick coffee, although while food was fresh and attractive, only very limited options were available. (This however, was understandable, as there were so many food outlets and services very close by, with a great variety of cuisines to choose from).
