Excellent location! Decent hotel for the price.. you get what you pay for.

The room was good sized, but the property is 2 star at best. Lobby had a somewhat foul smell, and the room wasn't clean (our countertops had some sticky stuff on them....). Bedding was pale yellow rather than white due to overuse. Also the bathroom door did not really close.

Overall I would recommend mostly for the location. Good for travellers on a tight budget.

Lovely hotel in a great location but two issues

This is a really nice hotel in a very central neighborhood. It's a short walk to the Seomyeon Station so you can easily connect to other stations. It's also very close to Lotte Department store which a big landmark area.

Our room was huge and very clean. The room was as pictured except for the overhead lights. The lighting was yellower and softer.

Staff was very responsive via hotels.com chat and by phone.

Getting to the hotel

We took the train from the airport to the hotel. It took two trains but it was very straightforward.

Lots of restaurants in the area and street food stalls at night.

Also, free self-serve laundry in hotel while I was there. And several 24/7 laundromats close-by.

Two weird issues

1. They only give one large towel and a few hand towels in the room. We asked the front desk for more towels twice and they gave them to us without any issues.

2. I needed to check-in early due to an unplanned meeting that was put on my calendar and they gave me a really hard time about it. I was sending them messages via Hotels.com and they kept saying they didn't offer any early check-in, even when I offered to pay to check in early.

But then when I called, the person on the phone said early check-in was possible for a fee. And when I arrived at 10am the person at the desk didn't blink at all and just charged me the extra fee.

It was just weird that they wasted my time for two days telling me no early check-in was possible but then it clearly wasn't an issue.

The location is very close to the subway station which is nice. If you don’t have a ton of time and you plan on doing a city tour hop on/off bus, I’d stay closer to Busan Station just because that’s where they leave from, but if you are just using public transport this location is nice.

From the moment we checked in, the owner went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. She provided knowledgeable itinerary plans and places to eat based on our length of stay. It was raining steadily when we arrived so she let us use her umbrellas and loaned me a light rain jacket. She also walked us to a local handmade noodle house for lunch and a traditional menu restaurant (15 minute walk) for dinner... In the rain. She also walked us to the bus stop to show us which bus we needed to take for bulguksan and how to navigate the bus system. We've stay at the Ritz Carlton and other high end hotels and condos and no one has ever done even one of these things for us! The location is absolutely ideal and our family is loving the traditional hanok style bedroom we're staying in. Another thing-communication via email with this host was always prompt and clear. We are so happy with our choice to stay at dorandoran guest house!

The hotel was in a good location to go places, reasonably close to the subway station and there are plenty of buses nearby. It's in the area where you can always find food, drinks, convenient stores, and shopping 24/7. The hotel was in an alley with other hotels and we always feel safe despite coming back late at night. There are two sinks inside and outside the bathroom. They provided sleeping ropes (changed daily) and slippers for the room and the bathroom. They also have a flat iron for your hair!!! Will definitely stay again as the rates are excellent too! They called us a cab to go to the station after we checked out!

Good Value but bright even during night

Clean except an old face mask attached on the duvet cover.
Big bed thats comfortable and good rain shower with good option to adjust the temperature which i really appreciate as a person that likes to shower in lukewarm water. Only complaint i have is when sleeping i like my room pitch black and the spotlights seemed to have some light in them eventho i turned them off and the blue light from AC really brighted the room. So if you like darkness when sleeping this is not the hotel for you. Cause this feels like morning all night cause of the brightness even with all lights turned off.

But the reviews complaining of staff or cleanliness is not true anymore. Atleast not in this case. Could stay again but will bring eye mask. Hehe
