Arirang Hill Hotel Dongdaemun

Hotel is very clean & well-maintained, with English-speaking staff at the front desk. Staff are attentive and responsive. The room is spacious and clean. The hotel is a short 2-minute walk away from the nearest subway station and also many bus stops nearby, making it convenient to go everywhere. There are plenty of early morning breakfast options in the area which we really appreciate, such as a local bakery and GS25 which is a 24/7 convenient store, and plenty of small local eateries within walking distance. The cafe at the lobby opens at 9am which is great as well. Not to mention the water cooler and laundry facility on level 2. We were able to do our laundry before flying out which was great.

I was very fortunate to stay for 5 nights in this hotel. Staff: 5/5 A staff member who mentioned she was new (unfortunately I didn’t catch her name) was incredibly helpful and friendly during check-in. I had booked this hotel last minute after my Airbnb fell through, and she made me feel so welcome. She even gave me some local recommendations. All of the hotel staff, including those working during breakfast, were very kind and accommodating. Location: 5/5 The location is excellent, with a bus stop right in front of the hotel and the subway just a 1–2 minute walk away. There’s also a limousine bus stop for the airport a short distance from the hotel, which was super convenient. There’s a coffee shop located in the hotel lobby, and plenty of stores and restaurants nearby, making it easy to grab a meal or do some shopping. Buffet breakfast: 5/5 Lots and lots of delicious options! Room Cleanliness: 5/5 The room was clean, spacious, and well-presented. It came with a mini fridge, towels, a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap. You can request room cleaning, and the staff did a great job whenever it was needed. Thank you for making my first visit to Seoul such a positive experience!

Room was big, can have 2 cargo bag opened with a small passage still. Room was clean too. Bed was comfortable, maybe only thing was some pillows were too thick. Soap and shampoo provided, smelt good. Theres a water dispenser at level 2. Location wise, its near the ktx, but overall to tourist attractions added more travelling time. Theres food nearby.

Very good location! Easy to get metro and good connection with airport. |Excellent breakfast with local tastes and also bacon- eggs style option. |Person with long hair will appreciate the good hairdryer 😊.|Quiet atmosphere.

Stayed here for one night before visiting another city in Korea. The hotel is located not too far away from a subway station but the subway station with the elevator is across the street, around a five minute walk away. The hotel is conveniently near some restaurants, a bakery, and an Olive Young. Check in is at 3pm so I stored my luggage with the front desk in the meantime. The front desk employees were not the most friendly but were okay. ||At check in time, everything went smoothly and we booked the Standard Double with two single beds. The room interior design is very chic and modern feeling and felt very much like is a four star hotel. The beds and pillows were not too soft and I fell asleep right away. The bathroom was also nice but it is shower, not a walk in shower. The lighting in the bathroom was a bit too dim though. The towel ranks were also a bit far from the bathtub so it was a bit inconvenient while showering. The hotel provided the standard amenities, like soap, shampoo, and conditioner, but they still gave slippers. They did bottled water although it would have been nicer if they had a water machine in the lobby. ||Overall, the hotel was pretty nice and a good stay with convenient options nearby to eat and shop. The subway ride is still a bit far from the main area of Seoul but the ride to other places in Dongdaemun was fast.

Stayed here for 3 nights in April 2025. Comfortable beds, nice and quiet, had all the amenities we needed. Fridge was quiet, restocked daily with bottles of water. It had a coffee/cake/snack franchise attached,”A Twosome Place” coffee , cake and ice cold smoothies available. The location was great for catching the tube or bus in Seoul centre. We liked it so much we have booked to go back next April, the staff were friendly and helpful, looking forward to our next visit.

Room was clean and staff was really friendly. They helped us to book our airport transport as we were checking out. Location of the hotel is also less than a min walk to the train stn. And the best part, it's opposite an Olive Young so no need to fight through a crowd in myeongdong or seongsu.

Nice hotel, great location near bus and metro stations, lots of cafes, shops around. Breakfasts were so delicious. There is lounge space on the second floor which can be used to relax. The room was clean with everyday housekeeping.
