Great location. Close to a station with 3 lines so easy to get around. Flat ground to station so good for suitcases.
My room had a musty smell which only went away after 2 days and getting a room freshener myself. But it was a good size and everyrhing worked fine.
The staff were lovely and always assisted me including finding a sock that went missing from my laundry.
We stayed 10 days in total and it was a completely adequate stay.

I recommend

Beautiful property and perfect location. However, it might be a cultural thing but you will not experience the same kind of welcome you feel in America. People will not greet you. Room is a lil smaller than I expected and I’m an airline employee that travels the world. Room was cleaned daily and sheets were replaced. I would definitely recommend just wanted to highlight certain things so travelers are aware. Ps: I didn’t recognize that there was mold on my bathroom ceiling. I can tell they didn’t pay attention to detail when cleaning. Over all a clean property

The room was dirty, and dusty. We we arrived the lobby staff took a 10 minute phone call in the middle of us checking in and we thought that was rude.

The bed was cozy, but the room was very dirty on the walls. In the bathroom the paint was peeling by the tub.

The room was incredibly dirty when I was checked in. There were dusty everywhere, floor, shower room, bath tub, even on the bed sheet.I told the staff to change the room but unfortunately, there were no available room. So, I asked for cleaning my room asap, the staff promised. But there were no one came to clean. An hour later, I told the staff again about my unclean room. They apologized me again and promised to clean my room. So, I went out and come back later night. MY ROOM STILL DIRTY AS BEFORE.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hotel the Designers, the concierge staff were very friendly and helpful to me. The hotel room suite was excellent and always restocked with amenities that I needed daily. Even during the hard time of 2021, this hotel has still upheld very high standards of service. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely book here again. :)

Great location with below average service

The room was prepared and ready when I checked in late in the night, less than 5 mins upon arrival to the hotel so that was great, first impression is good. However the bedsheets were not changed even upon request(I made the request on my fourth day), I have to make a second request(on the fifth day) when I found out it was not changed, as there was a stain on the bedsheet we saw during our first night. The location is great for travelling to various place of interest and near to the bus stop of the airport bus 6001.

I was very disappointed with the service from the Receptionists during my check in and out of the hotel. I wouldn't bother to explain more as I am someone who worked in the service line as a Hotel Concierge and currently a flight attendant for a national carrier. I only looked forward to my suite room which is really gorgeous but again disappointed with the Housekeeping as toilet roll and tissue box was not replaced with a new one. Everything else in the room was in perfect condition except for minor defects which doesn't bother me at all. I like the location as it is easy to grab a cab and near a train station.

The 2 big pluses of this hotel are price and the location. It's across the Metro station and walking distance to malls and the DDP. The 2 big minuses are the cleanliness of facilities and the customer service of staff. We stayed for 5 days and they actually just fix the bed and the toiletries, but they never vacuum the carpet, and didn't clean the bathroom well. There was a ball of hair in the shower drain for days (even before we arrived!). Outside our room is the service elevator, and there the dirty linens are piled for few days for everyone to see (see photos), and gets only picked up less frequently (a curtain or an actual door would have been a simple solution). Only the carpet inside the elevator is always dusty. The staff are very friendly, but because of low English proficiency, they are unable to help much. Even when they understood, they seem to lack the confidence or even the knowledge on tips for sightseeing and restaurants - which I think are basic skills in keeping with the tourism industry market.

シャワーカーテンが無い事と、シャワーの水がバスタブのふちを伝わって流れ、床がびしょびしょになってしまう所が残念でした。

お部屋のお掃除は、担当者によって随分と仕上がりに差があるなぁと感じました。

立地は、私達がよく行くエリアに徒歩で行けたり、地下鉄も3ライン使えたりと便利ではありました。
しかし、駅からホテル近くの出口はエレベーターもエスカレーターも無いので、私達はエレベーターのある4番出口を使っていたので、ホテルまで意外と時間がかかる印象でした。

但し、お値段からするとどれも許せる範囲で、コスパはとても良いと感じました。

スイートを取ったので部屋は広く、洗面も2ボウルあり広さ的には問題はなかったのですが、部屋が嫌な匂いがしました。
窓も、窓という窓ではなく通気口のような窓でした。
そしてタオルはボロボロで糸もほつれていて、気持ち悪くて使えませんでした。
スリッパもそんな予感はしましたが使い捨てではないビニール素材のものが置かれていてこれも使えなく、全て購入する事になりました。
スリッパに関してはエコの観点から置いてないところも増えて来たし、通常は持ち歩いているのに忘れてしまったと言うところもあります。

そして、バスルームの方が謎に電気が切れて真っ暗になる事が何度かありました。すぐに復旧はしましたが謎です。

何よりもチェックインの時には挨拶もなくパスポートと言われ手続き。
帰って来た時も一度も挨拶はされませんでした。

帰る時預けた荷物を取りに行った時は初めておじさん2人がフロントにいて、普通に感じよく対応されました。

ものすごく悪くもないけどモヤモヤの滞在でした。

We chose this hotel mainly for its location near the DDP, which was very convenient. Unfortunately, aside from the location, the experience was disappointing.

The hotel is in poor condition, looking old and poorly maintained. Cleanliness was a major issue. Even though we put up the “please clean my room” sign every day, our room was never cleaned during our two-week stay. The bed was only made about four times, and while fresh towels were provided, no actual cleaning was done.

The air-conditioning unit was dirty and triggered allergic reactions for me (I have asthma), so I had to sleep with a mask at night. The bed itself was very hard and uncomfortable, even for Korean standards.

On a positive note, the front desk staff were friendly. However, the lack of proper cleaning and maintenance really affected our stay. I’ve stayed in better 2-star hotels, and I hope management addresses these issues.

いつもは市庁に宿泊しますが、初めて東大門付近に泊りました。場所は駅からも近く外観からすぐに分かり、どこに行くにも便利な立地で良かったです。お部屋の写真から期待していたのですが、想像以上に古く、壁一面鏡で落ち着きませんでした。お部屋にアメニティは1つもありませんし、コンセントが遠く3つ穴しかありません。お水ポットコップ冷蔵庫などはあります。バスタブがあるのも選んだ理由の一つでしたが、水はけが悪くシャワーも使いにくくて結果として湯船には浸かりませんでした。もう利用することはありません。
