Arirang Hill Hotel Dongdaemun

Clean,handy for the metro. It felt safe- as did everywhere we have been in Korea. The staff were pleasant enough. The room was fine and the bed was very comfortable especially the pillows. You got 2 bottles of water included which was helpful. We didn’t use any of the facilities as we were out all the time.

There were few bars and restaurants around as we would have liked a beer after a long day on the hoof. There is nothing wrong with the hotel and it did the job for us.

Nice hotel, nice hotel staff! Very nice place and easy to get where you want to go with the subway! 😊

Convenient

No microwave in the room

For the most part the staff were friendly.

I always check the sheets when I go to a hotel, and noticed a hair in my bed, which really grossed me out. I had to get them to change the sheets, and the duvet cover, as there were a couple small stains on the cover, and no top sheet. And she was kind of huffy about having to do it. While there, she decided to empty the garbage bins even though I told her she didn't have to do that. I noticed the same gloves she was wearing while changing the sheets, she used to throw the garbage out, and those bins don't even have bag liners in them. She probably just finished cleaning someone else's toilet with those gloves on too. Gross! I requested for my room not to be cleaned for the rest of my five night stay, so they should have been pleased about that. I also asked for a couple extra hand towels as they seem to take long to dry. There was also a hair in one of them. Not impressed. It was also very cold in my room and thankfully they let me borrow a heater, which I had to use every night. I had to turn off the a/c when I arrived, not even sure why it would be on, considering the time of year. Location was mediocre. If I go back to Seoul, I'll be looking to stay elsewhere.
