4/10 Fair

Hotel and the room itself was dated. Much more of a boutique feel than anticipated. Also, too much noise could be heard from outside, despite being in a designated quiet room. The bed was comfortable as expected, but feel that most of its 5 star hotel competitors in Seoul provide much better value and higher quality in every facet

10/10 Exceptional

Flawless from start to finish.
My wife and I stayed here as part of our South Korea trip. Although our 2.5 year old wasn’t with us she would have had a wonderful time if she was. Staff were friendly and smiling; from the first doorman that greeted us, to the reception staff, restaurant staff and gym staff. We felt the staff were especially professional and wouldn’t let us lift a finger. The property is clean, modern and impressive. It is connected to the Dongdaemun metro station which makes getting about very easy. The gym is truly outstanding, as is the swimming pool (with a small toddlers pool full of about 100 rubber ducks). We had an executive room with a wonderful gate view which was large and modern. It had lounge access and we felt the food offerings were of a great quality. When I was booking I couldn’t decide between this and the Westin Josun so I booked both. I’m now at the Westin and wish I could go back to the JW Dongdaemun as the Westin is not in the same league.

The hotel was very clean and beautiful. The staff was friendly and greeted us everytime we left and arrived at the hotel. We had the breakfast buffet twice. Although it was pricey, the food was delicious and had plenty of options. The dining options around the hotel qere plentiful as well. Our room had a beautiful view of the Dongdaemun Gate.

As I am an old customer of this hotel and I have used it on all my visits to Korea, this time it was a bad experience and the reception hosts were rude and the room services were poor.

10/10 Exceptional

When a team works well, this is what you get 10/10. And at this scale, a hotel. The executive suite is the home away from home. There are many staff members to be compliments. Allen and Jessica from the front office are polite and give clear information. The concierge and bell desk team is exceptional, a shout out to David. I stayed for a week and watched the breakfast room team work effortlessly and dedication to details. Attentive Justin, the ever sweet, smiley Daisy and Danny - from the noodle station. One can see they are beyond happy and pride in doing what they do. Last but not least, the housekeeping team. When I departed for the airport, how the team worked hand in hand handling the luggage, the doors, and watching out for the traffic was perfection. Thank you, and Marriot Dongdaemun will be my 1st choice when I visit Korea the next time 🙂
