Hotels near Cheongnyangni Station, Seoul

Breakfast is normal. staff enthusiasm, room and location are good.

The building is old but the hotel on this floor is brand new. Very nice with a lovely common area. The laundry machine and dryer were free to use. We didn't see staff but there was a binder on how to do everything and to reach someone if need be. You can also lock your bags in the hall to go out after you've checked out. There is a special number to get back in to get your bags The beds were large. Two queen size bunk beds with steps not a ladder. The toilet and shower were nice. There were two steps up to get to the shower and toilet. I guess for plumbing reasons. There is a small round table and a bench seat to sit and do work or watch TV. There is also a small desk and pull out stool for doing makeup and drying hair. A very nice setup. The hotel is RIGHT outside a subway exit. Literally steps away. Dongdaemun shopping is really close.

When the owner wasn’t at the counter, he was quick to respond through messages. Daily new towels and hygiene necessities were great.

Prime location in the heart of dongdaemun. It is a 5 minute walk to all the main markets which makes it super convenient. The room itself was super clean with a comfortable mattress and sheets. The staff are very friendly as well and they were accommodating to all my needs. Highly recommend this hidden gem to all travellers!

We were three girls traveling together and booked their only apartment on the top floor. There’s no lift, but we honestly didn’t mind at all. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and newly renovated, with everything we needed (washing machine, separate toilet/bathroom, and daily housekeeping which was a lovely surprise). What truly made this stay unforgettable were the owners, Mr. Lee and his family. From the moment we booked, they were incredibly attentive. Jason messaged us before arrival to help with directions and luggage, and throughout our stay both he and Mr. Lee were always ready with tips, guidance, and checked in on us, whether it was late night or early morning. Their kind gestures went far beyond what you’d expect from a hotel. They even hosted a small chicken gathering for us on our last night, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Their warmth, thoughtfulness, and constant presence made us feel not just welcome, but at home. The hotel also felt very safe as the entrance is only accessible with your room key, and Mr. Lee would stay awake until all the guests had returned at night, which gave us so much peace of mind. The location is also excellent. Just a minute’s walk from Jongno 5-ga station, with buses right outside that take you across the city (Myeongdong was just one bus away). Dongdaemun is also a short, scenic walk along the stream. We felt completely safe returning late at night, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and pharmacies nearby. Gwangjang Market is only a 5-minute walk. The building itself is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, with cooling air conditioners on every floor, a clean and spacious rooftop terrace, and a welcoming lobby where tea, coffee, and biscuits are always available. But above all, it’s the people who made this place so special. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, along with Jason and Henry, go above and beyond in a way that’s rare to find.

It was one of the most comfortable beds and clean sheets you’ve ever seen while in Korea. The staff above him to accommodate our needs whether it be warming up our room when it’s cold or special receiving and dropping off package. The stairs may look scary and might not be ideal for some travelers, but the actual rooms, while on the smaller side, has everything you need and they also provide housekeeping if you need it. Overall, highly satisfied with our stay here.
