Hotel DDK

Not quite worth the price

The location was perfect with lots of food and shopping options within close proximity. While the hotel was located at a rather dodgy looking alley, i did not feel unsafe as a solo traveller even late at night as there were lots of regular shoppers and diners about. The room also had all the amenities you would need for your stay. They even provided free flow of drinking water, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel which all smelt really nice. Theer was also a hair dryer and straightening iron as well as brushes. And best of all, free Netflix subscription on a 55-inch LED Tv which beats some of what hotels in the area was offering. They also made up the room everyday and also allowed me to check in when I arrived at 2pm even though the site said check in was 6pm

The room was dusty and old and I could also see the wall insulation from a part of the wall that was broken at the door. The brushes were clean but not new and neither was the hair gel, hair spray or toothpaste they made available for guests. I appreciate this is a lot more ecofriendly but just worry a little about hygiene given the pandemic. The room was also really small but given the price and location, can't complain. My aircon also started leaking after day 4 (I stayed 7 nights) and the shower does oscillate from hot to cold but I believe this is likely due to the water pressure in the building which is quite old

Hotel is quite closed at shopping mall , restaurants, cafe, and others. easy to get some drink , food , also late night . Nearly subway station ( But I can’t find the elevator from the subway stations) They always cleaned up your room every day.

Check in time is so late i know it’s a hotel policy but at 6 pm is too late for me

It seems like a love motel but one that is more normal and clean and attracts a range of clientele. Location is pretty good, right in the heart of Dongdaemun albeit down a not very nice alleyway. The staff were friendly. Room was clean and had all basic necessities such as smart tv, hairdryer, robes, slippers, general amenities kit, water. Decent value.

Check in time of 6pm

The room was well appointed with a range toiletries. Check-in was fast and easy (I don't speak Korean). The hotel is new and it shows. Great location — there's a jimjilbang in the shopping centre across from the hotel.

The room's entrance had an automatic light. Which is fine, but the light would turn on during the night. I couldn't find the sensor or a switch to turn it off. I had to wear an eye mask.

great location just behind the APM mall, 5 min walking distance from metro exit, unlimited drinking water, polite and helpful staff.

very basic small room, mattress is too soft, bathroom water heater too hot or cold during winter.
