The Regents Dongdaemun Hotel

A cost-effective place suitable for staying alone. Good for business trips. I will probably book here again.

Transportation is convenient and it is quiet.

The air conditioner turning off immediately when it reaches the set temperature was a bit annoying.

It was clean and decent. The soundproofing does not seem good. Every morning the noise from tourists was very loud.

Overall clean. The bedding was tidy and parking was convenient. There were many restaurants within a 5-minute walk, and I could get dinner late at night, so I would consider returning next time I visit Seoul.

The tall male staff member at reception was very kind, so I had a good first impression of the hotel. The room cleanliness was neat and the towels were clean. Other than that... When I checked in it was fine, but late at night a urine smell came from the separated toilet which made it hard to use, and the same smell came from the shower booth... maybe rising from the drain..ㅠ Since the bathroom is used as a dry area, it seems there are difficulties cleaning the floor; housekeeping should perform floor cleaning with detergent. The male staff working in the breakfast room seemed to work mechanically; it would have been better if he had been friendlier. First of all, the restaurant tables and the washed spoons and forks were very dirty. Even if it's cheap, the food quality was very poor and I was extremely disappointed. If they run out of milk they should refill it, but because there were only about 30 minutes left of breakfast time they just cleared it away... The salad used frozen vegetables that should have been cooked but were only thawed and served, and everything was made with cheap ingredients and small portions so there was almost nothing worth eating for breakfast. The boiled eggs had yolks with a dark ring... Even if foreign couples traveling on a budget, mainly Chinese and Southeast Asian package tourists, stay here cheaply, the breakfast was so bad and tasteless that I was very disappointed. I felt a little embarrassed, wondering if Koreans eat like this.

The room was so-so and the breakfast was terrible. The menu was sparse and it was chaotic because of a group of foreign tourists...

There is a station and a bus stop near the property, so public transportation is convenient, and there are 24-hour Chinese restaurants and barbecue places nearby. The breakfast venue has a city view, so you can eat while looking outside. The breakfast manager checks frequently and keeps replenishing food when supplies run low. Netflix and YouTube are available. When inspecting the room condition, it was generally clean except for hair on the pillow. For a hotel, the breakfast menu is not varied and satisfaction is very low. Menu information is not shared between the accommodation and the breakfast provider, so you cannot know the next day’s breakfast menu. The Chinese restaurant’s menu is varied and information is provided, but there is no information about breakfast anywhere. After staying multiple nights, the menu remained the same and I felt the cost of breakfast was a waste. There is no table and chair in the room for eating. The parking is a parking tower. Most guests are foreigners. Disposable items can be purchased from a vending machine near the front desk.

I liked it a lot, highly recommend! Clean and nice.
