Max is the best.

As usual this hotel is the epitome of service. I especially want to give special credit to max at the front desk. I’m not sure if he’s new, but he was most helpful upon check in all through check out.

Gym and Sauna is pretty good but Sauna is little expensive compare to other options outside. Breakfast is good if you can get a discount price with room. Staffs are very nice.
YongKwon, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel and the room itself was dated. Much more of a boutique feel than anticipated. Also, too much noise could be heard from outside, despite being in a designated quiet room. The bed was comfortable as expected, but feel that most of its 5 star hotel competitors in Seoul provide much better value and higher quality in every facet

Great place for tourists. Check out markets that opens from 12 am (mid night market for clothing) Sunday to Thursday. Kwangjang market is only 7 min walk and offer lots of place to eat. Hotel staffs are great. Erika at the door made a great impression for us. Kind and friendly staffs and I will give 10/10 stars

The property need upkeeping. Although service was prompt, however, lack of staff at the front desk and also inexperience staff at the restaurant is the weakness. I’ve booked for the most prestige room, however it was not up to expectation. With Moldy smell and towels worn out among few issues during our stay.

Absolutely Fabulous!

I cannot express how amazing this hotel was. The room was spacious and comfortable. The food at the hotel was fabulous. We will go back for the service. The staff at the JW Marriott was exceptional. They took care of every little thing for us. I would highly recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed.

10/10 Exceptional

Flawless from start to finish.

My wife and I stayed here as part of our South Korea trip. Although our 2.5 year old wasn’t with us she would have had a wonderful time if she was. Staff were friendly and smiling; from the first doorman that greeted us, to the reception staff, restaurant staff and gym staff. We felt the staff were especially professional and wouldn’t let us lift a finger. The property is clean, modern and impressive. It is connected to the Dongdaemun metro station which makes getting about very easy. The gym is truly outstanding, as is the swimming pool (with a small toddlers pool full of about 100 rubber ducks). We had an executive room with a wonderful gate view which was large and modern. It had lounge access and we felt the food offerings were of a great quality. When I was booking I couldn’t decide between this and the Westin Josun so I booked both. I’m now at the Westin and wish I could go back to the JW Dongdaemun as the Westin is not in the same league.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

Nice but probably not again

Nice big rooms for a relatively convenient location. Good price offered on Hotels.com. On the first night we found a footprint on the bedsheet which the hotel swiftly replaced. Overall hotel is clean and well kept but does show signs of use and aging. We had a room overlooking the creek and there were constantly smokers outside so we had to keep the curtains closed at all times (we were in the middle floors.) our friend had lower level floor room facing the DDM and they could hear the bustling traffic at all hours. Hotel should consider better sound proofing. Location: There is direct MTR access until 7pm, but no clear signage for this and staff not very proactive in offering help, maybe hindered by limited English. Great if you are keen on late night shopping to DDM, as it is only a 5 min walk to the malls but not great if you wish to shop elsewhere and want to drop your bags at the hotel in the middle of the day. Major limitation of the hotel is the lack of convenience store next door, the closest one is a 5 min walk and in opposite direction to the metro so it is not v convenient for late night snacks/ breakfast on the go (and hotel does not permit food delivery). No restaurants immediately visible as well so the best option is to eat breakfast at the hotel. Also F&B options at the hotel are not expansive.
