Hotel DODO - Seoul

Can't say enough good things about the hotel and the service. Very helpful and excellent experience. The hotel is very quick to downtown by subway. Room was newly remodeled and worked well. Very clean. Lots of gadgets and methods which are very Asian and may be unusual to Westerners, but I figured them out easily enough.

Upper floors have good views of the city. Rooms have some good amenities: jacuzzies, sound systems, flat screen TV, granite counter tops, quartz sterilizing case for dishes, stylish sink, wall mirrors, glass shower cabin with steam-room Amazon feature. However much of it comes with a perk the room service is strange. Although they will even do it when […] you leave late, - they seem to have a memory issue.. may forget to re-stock the toilet paper.. or to change the towel on the floor. Sound in the room is a plus. You can play your cds & movies from your laptop (if you have IT skills). They do have a PC in the room, - all in Korean. Granite countertops & mirrors are fine. But the mirror is somewhere on the chest-pelvis level, so if you want to see your face - you will have to bend over or stand on your knees. Bathroom amenities are great, only there is no bathroom door .. it brings the level of your intimacy up to a new height. Ah instead of replacing small shampoo tubes they refill the big ones. They never replaced soap during 11 days. When we first got to our room there was a set of haircombs (i think meant for your convenience) but one had someone's black hair in it, so we put 'em down on the floor. any way... it is definitely a fun stay if you are with your significant other or with a good friend. bad idea for family with kids. There is also a whole entertainment/food/fun quarter just 5 minutes walking from the hotel. We enjoyed the visit. Read more

Feelings is still like a love hotel as well But it's very quiet, clean and safe So, with this price is not bad to have this room Walking to station is just about 10 minutes Many restaurants/ cafe around

Genuine Expedia guest review

When I first arrived entrance was nice. Very limited English from the counter clerks. Just so you know before booking this is a Love Hotel, meaning most of the rooms are rented by the hour then overnights. This explains why the bed was like sleeping on the floor. I arrived late and found the sheets needing to be changed do to a left over love stain. […] Best thing in the room was the tv and the heated floors. Bathroom needs some cleaning, tub didn't work, computer kept crashing most likely because it was overheating from constant usages. Last the breakfast was supposed to be a western breakfast however like I stated above I don't think they have a lot of overnighters here so they don't have a huge breakfast following. I would give this hotel a 2 star at best. Look elsewher if u can afford. Far from public transportation. Anyways your choice. Read more

really bad hotel... staff cant speak english, a bad location and far from all the good places. it shouldnt be on expedia. its a Love hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I found this hotel to be great for the price. The location put you about a five minute walk from two subway stations and not far from shopping and restaurants. I stayed 4 nights and wasn't disappointed. Some of the staff speak better English than others though. It was difficult at times to get a clear answer about tours and directions. The others staying […] here appeared to be respectable. I didn't notice anything that made me think it to be a love hotel. Read more

The Hotel Dodo suite whichI stayed in was great! The bed is big and comfortable. The hotel is quiet and well built. The bathroom was spacious and had a steam room, double shower heads and a jacuzzi (although there was no privacy door on the bathroom/toilet area). The PC in the room is linked to the big screen TV and surround sound system. There is an […] air cleanser and efficient A/C unit. There was a musty smell on entry but the air cleaner got rid of that in minutes. The room was clean but when I dropped something on the floor and had cause to look under the bed, I saw a condom and lots of dust bunnies under there. Next door to the Dodo is 'Dodo Room' - this looks like a club of some sort. I never entered but asked the hotel receptionist about it...she said "no, no, no, no" and shook her head violently. There's a convenience store next door and the subway station is 5 minutes walk (although not so easy to find the hotel from on the first occasion!). Taxis are frequently passing the hotel although you should take a business card for the hotel with you as few drivers seemed to know the place. A minimum fare taxi ride away is Times Square shopping mall and entertainment area. I'd recommed the Hotel Dodo. Read more

Be prepare this hotel has no closet or cloth hook for you to hang towel or clothes. The subway is about one mile away from the hotel. Hotel itself is clean and very comfortable. Restaurants is only half a mile away that is convenience.

Be aware that this is a "love hotel." As in, not a regular "family friendly" hotel. The pros: 1) it's very private and quiet, which is nice, and 2) it's super clean, which is even nicer. The cons: 1) no drawers or closets to put your clothes in (since, as a "love hotel," it's only supposed to be used for a night), 2) no big windows to look out of, and […] 3) very low lighting (which may be good if you don't really want to see the person you're sleeping with, but horrible for putting make-up on!). The price is reasonable and the location is somewhat convenient, being only 7-10 minutes walking distance from the Yeongdeungpo subway stop. Also, this stop is only five stops away from the Seoul Station exit. I would totally recommend it, based on cleanliness alone. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Room was nice and clean enough, but you could tell that this is an upscale motel, not a hotel. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. Location was not the best, but once you figure out how to get to subway stations (7-10 min walk), it's not too bad. Neighborhood is not the best, but being Seoul, I still felt very safe.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you need a hotel in the heart of the action with hotel staff that speak perfect English, this is not the place for you. But that said, the staff was extremely friendly, the room was always spotlessly clean, and it is a short walk to the Metro. The only trouble I had, was the first night, when I couldn't figure out how to turn off all the lights (check […] your phone), or turn on the air conditioner (TV remote, but the instructions weren't in English.) The neighborhood is very industrial, don't expect nice restaurants and bars nearby, but for me it was more important to have a nice clean room, than to be in the middle of the action. I walked alone from the metro nightly between 9 and 10 o'clock and never felt the least bit threatened. It's also a short walk to Youngdongpo Market, where this is a McDonalds or Pizza Hut, as well as a bus drop off and pick up from the airport. Read more

Hotel DODO is a love hotel. It is not intended to accommodate business travelers. That said, it is clean and relatively comfortable. The hotel staff was very friendly, and it is conveniently located in the middle of Yeoung Deung Po.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I stayed in a single economy room. The room and hotel were very clean and check in/out was quick and painless. The only window in the room was a tiny 3'x3' one that was opaque when closed. Came with a big flatscreen TV and an old computer with working internet (just be sure to hit the language button on the start menu to flick the keyboard to english). […] About a 10min walk from the Singil and Yeungdongpo Market subway stations which makes getting around Seoul pretty easy. Not a whole lot of stuff directly next to the hotel though, so you'll be using the subway a lot. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel actually was not that bad. The expectation - from driving up to the hotel - was extremely low,so you could barely disappoint on that. The room was big, but the air quality in the hotel, and the room, was one of spray cleaners. Personally I will never stay here again, and I won't recommend anyone to stay here either. Breakfast starts at 8 (!), […] even though posted to be at 7. And in Seoul if you need to be at a meet at any decent time, forget having breakfast at 8. 6.30 at the latest. Bed comfort, as most places in Asia, very marginal. Big bathroom, with all glass walls, and a large bubble bath (bubbles not working) really did not add any value ether. If you're on a strict budget, consider it, otherwise - stay out of it. Read more

I was pleased with the room. It had a tub/hot-tub. There was a desk-top computer with internet included in the room. There was a lot of lights and a window that opened. The view was very nice. I had an a/c and a small fridge.

this is my second stay at this hotel. the first time, I stayed in the same room - how do I remember so precisely?...the used condom that was under the bed 10 months ago was still there at check-in this time. They got it cleaned pretty quick this time.Taxi drivers don't know the hotel, carry a business card. the jacuzzi bath didn't work - when I told […] reception, they said "none of the jacuzzis work". the room is comfortable and has some nice equipment to have a night in with a movie or tv.

1. The hotel is not centrally located. It takes some 15 minutes to walk to the nearest train station. 2. Communication with hotel staff is a BIG problem - they speak very limited English. 3. The hotel is a love hotel meant for hourly rentals by couples. Definitely not recommended for holiday stays by overseas tourists.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Definately a love hotel and thats the way they want it, The head domestic who spoke some english told me that the owner wanted the locals in the hotel not foreigners. The reception staff tried to help but the language barrier is a problem.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel location seems to be in the " red light district " of seoul, however it is nonetheless a must see. Yeundeungpo also has a very big mall close by called Timesquare mall. Staff english seems to be limited however they understand english well and are able to get their point accross. Everytime we got back to our rooms they were very clean and refilled […] with water and soda. Room had TV, pc, fridge. To charge your phone if your from North america, you can rent an adapter for 5 $ at the front desk. In all the room was mostly for sleep, and found it very convenient. I would definitely stay there again. Read more

Having read that this hotel is a love hotel i was a bit sceptical, on arrival the hotel is very clean and well kept. Do not be afraid of staying in this hotel it is more of a Tourist hotel than a love hotel - we did not see any evidence of this place being a love hotel. Note to visitors: make sure you have the address details in korean as taxi drivers […] do not appear to know where to go (sometimes even in korean they are still a little unsure). i would definately stay here again. hotel is a short walk to singal subway station.

Staff already prepare room key when arrived. Just signed on 2 spot and off I go. Clean room with big LCD TV, Desktop computer with internet, and Big beautiful toilet with Heater on the toilet seat!! Free 2 bottle drinks and 3 can soda everyday. Free coffee downstairs. Staff is helpful and not intimidating. They don't disturb you unless you ask for help. […] Allow me to store my 6 luggages in their restaurant after I check out, so that I can walk around Seoul with free hand. Felt very safe inside the hotel. Will come back to this hotel again, if I ever visit Seoul in the future. Hamsa mida..!!! Read more

The stay at DODO was very nice

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room is clean, bed is comfortable, but lighting is terrible, just one small window in the room and no windows in the bathroom. No toothbrush and toothpaste are provided. It's about 10 minutes walking distance to the nearest MRT station-Singil, 5~10 stations away from downtown. I'll say the quality is fair.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was rated as a three star but it had 2 star feeling. Not a good value for your money. Staff was not as friendly as other hotels where they spoke no English. My room also had no windows which made me felt a bit uneasy. Location was ok, about 3min cab ride or 10mins walk to the nearest subway - 25mins from Itaewon or central Seoul which is […] a bit annoying and pricey trying to get back to the hotel after the subway closes. Lastly my room smelt like smoke despite the fact I specifically requested a non-smoking room. Read more

Wonderfully large rooms and great amenities. Large Plasma Tv, granite shower plus jacuzzi and full PC in the room. The location is a 5 minute walk to Shingil station which allows access to all the sights. If you are daring the 03 bus also picks up right outside the hotel and it is a 5 minute trip to Itaewon.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed there for my last night in Seoul. When we first checked in the hotel, it gave us some sleazy feeling as the room corridors and the room numbers were illuminated by neon red light and there is a night club run by the hotel itself. However, we didnt see and heard anything that justify our initial thought. The room is quite nice and clean. Computer […] is provided for internet access. The bathroom is the largest I have ever seen in all my previous hotel stay. Good shampoo & body foams are provided but there is no hanger for clothes and towel. Overall it is a good choice if you do not mind walking a bit longer to the subway station. Read more

이 호텔은 일반 모텔보다 조금 큰 호텔 정도입니다. 처음에 받은 방은 담배냄새도 많이 나고해서 프론트에 바꿔달라고 요청한후 좀더 깔끔한 방으로 교체되었습니다. 여기서 이 금액을 주고 잘거면 돈을 좀 더해서 좋은곳을 가던지 아니면 예약안하고 갈수있는 좀더싼 모텔을 가시는게 더 좋을듯 합니다. 좋은점은 직원분들은 친절해요.

I stay for 3 nights there in Seoul. I can't say the frond desk is nice. Compared with lot of convenience location, you need to walk about 7 to 10 mins to a subway station. However, the market is quite local and I have some good meals there. I may not book this hotel again next trip.

Nice rooms but we found used condoms under the bed. Not very nice. The city area is not so nice but you can take the subway or taxi on your daily trips. Beds were hard but the linen was nice. Large TV. Bathroom smelled like a sewer.

フロント従業員（女性）の接客態度が最悪でした。ラブホーを改造したような感じで”ホテル”とは言えません。それにして値段が高すぎます。

友人と２人で利用させて頂きました(５日間)。日本語が喋れるスタッフが確認できただけで２人おり、その他のスタッフも英語が喋れるので、何不自由なく過ごせました。地下鉄(ソウル駅まで１本)、通常の駅共に徒歩圏内であるため、非常に便利です。他のコメントにもあるようにラブホテルですが、コストパフォーマンス良しと判断しました。

写真でみてきれいな感じだったので予約しましたが、ラブホテルを改装したものでした。 ベットはダブルとシングルで部屋自体は広かったですが、窓がひとつしかなく暗い感じです。お風呂も水を溜めて入ろうとは思えませんでした。 冷蔵庫には水とジューズ類がありこれは無料でした。パソコンも設置してあるので ネットが使えるところは便利です。 家族･友達同士で行くにはあまりお勧めできません。
