Dongdaemun really has the best breakfast haha👍👍👍 Even if you have a membership, there is an additional charge for breakfast and sauna! Nevertheless, the breakfast is really great! I had a lot of fun eating pork belly in the morning. The lounge also had a good menu! The view of Dongdaemun was great, and what can I say about the swimming pool? I definitely plan to visit again! Valet is also available

Thanks to the consideration of the reception, I was assigned a room with a good view and had a good rest with my children. The swimming pool was small, but it was enough to enjoy, and it was fun to look around Gwangjang Market with the kids. It was an old facility, but well-maintained, and it wasn't busy because it was a day off for Pyeonghwa Market, so I came here to relax. The breakfast was also very good with Korean food, so I was able to have a delicious meal.

Reviews of the breakfast buffet The food was served cleanly and I had pork belly in the morning. The bakery was also delicious. It was even better with blueberries and plums. A great place to quietly enjoy breakfast ❤️

JW Marriott Dongdaemun My eldest daughter went to Korea University~ The 5-star near Anam is close to here- Sometimes when I want to play with my daughter, I take a van up to the hotel and stay there. Great location for shopping in Dongdaemun. Seoul Station. It's also good for taking the airport train. It's good for swimming around 8 o'clock. Free aqua aerobics classes are available for hotel guests. Laughing excitedly with my daughter. The instructor was so passionate. If I lived nearby, I wanted to learn every day. The phone in the room was dead, there were no cups, and the hot water didn't work, so I experienced some inconveniences. Early check-in. Thank you for the late check-out. Rest well, eat well, and have fun~~^^

I think the advantage of a hotel buffet is that you can eat as much fresh lobster and snow crab legs as you want. This place has a very diverse selection of olives and a good selection of desserts. All staff are also friendly and professional. I visited today for Chuseok and Memorial Day, and I think the experience was better than the JW Marriott at the Express Bus Terminal. I plan to visit again next time.

Among the 5-star hotels in the city, this hotel seems to have more foreign guests than Korean guests. Since the Dongdaemun area is in the center of the city, it seems to be an area of ​​greater interest to foreign tourists. The facilities felt a bit old, but there were no inconveniences, and especially since there were a lot of foreign tourists, parking was much more convenient than at recently built hotels. There is a BLT restaurant on the second floor, famous for its steaks, and the taste and quantity of the steaks were as good as they said. Our group just ate the course, but there was no separate course for 3 people, so we added 200g of striploin to the 2-person course. The portion size is very large, so if you have a small portion size, it would be better not to drink beer beforehand. It's quite greasy if you eat a large amount, but if you ask for pickles and jalapenos, they'll give it to you, so it's good to eat them together.
