The hotel was very clean and beautiful. The staff was friendly and greeted us everytime we left and arrived at the hotel. We had the breakfast buffet twice. Although it was pricey, the food was delicious and had plenty of options. The dining options around the hotel qere plentiful as well. Our room had a beautiful view of the Dongdaemun Gate.

When a team works well, this is what you get 10/10. And at this scale, a hotel. The executive suite is the home away from home. There are many staff members to be compliments. Allen and Jessica from the front office are polite and give clear information. The concierge and bell desk team is exceptional, a shout out to David. I stayed for a week and watched the breakfast room team work effortlessly and dedication to details. Attentive Justin, the ever sweet, smiley Daisy and Danny - from the noodle station. One can see they are beyond happy and pride in doing what they do. Last but not least, the housekeeping team. When I departed for the airport, how the team worked hand in hand handling the luggage, the doors, and watching out for the traffic was perfection. Thank you, and Marriot Dongdaemun will be my 1st choice when I visit Korea the next time 🙂

Very happy stay in Seoul
I have been lucky to be able to have stayed in many 5 starts places, for example The Peninsula Tokyo, and I have to say that the service at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Seoul has one of the best service I have ever received, the crew went far and beyond to make me feel happy and welcome, from Kate at the front desk, to Miss Moon and Ian at the bar and the crew at Tavolo 24, smiles and great great service. The Spa experience was very nice also. The room decoration is a little bit outdated, but still a very pleasant bedroom, with all amenities even a hair flat iron. Most of the rooms have a view of Heunginjimun Gate as well as the restaurant and rooftop bar. You have cheonggyecheon stream right there, if you like walking like me, you can walk from to In-sadong , Myeongdong, gyeongbokgung palace, following the stream, beautiful walk in the middle of Seoul. If you don’t like walking, the metro line 4, is also right there in the corner and takes you also to Eujiro, Myeongdong, straight to Ichon (Korea National Museum) and basically everywhere you want to go. Shopping is good too, Doota and Hyundai malls are 5 min walk and also DDP Design Plaza is right there 5 min walk, the hotel is great value for money. I definitely recommend this hotel.
