I felt the staff went above and beyond what I asked of them or needed. They are amazing and helped put my simple one night stay at ease. Next trip I plan to try the spa and breakfast. But I'm sure it'll be just as amazing!

A truly exceptional stay, from organising a room for us to use as we’d arrived before check in time, to wonderful restaurant service, delicious room service and truly delightful staff - they couldn’t have done more to ensure a great stay. Gym facilities and an excellent location add to the enormous appeal.

If you’re looking for a world-class JW Marriott experience, this may not be the place. Our stay was a mixed experience, with some clear highlights and some notable disappointments.

The good:
The location is excellent, easy to walk around, convenient access to public transportation, and simple to get an Uber. It’s close to shopping and the Design Plaza, which was a big plus. The breakfast spread is great, with lots of variety and options. I also really enjoyed the gym and pool facilities, and I had a massage at the spa which I highly recommend. The staff, especially the doormen, were friendly and welcoming.

The not-so-good:
The property feels old and dated, and the rooms clearly show signs of aging. Our headboard had stains, and the shower had brown stains/mold, which was disappointing for a JW Marriott. We arrived at night and received no assistance with our luggage, despite there being two people at reception. We also tried the buffet dinner one evening, which was underwhelming — cold food and no refills. That said, the duty manager Amy handled the situation well and provided good service once we raised these concerns.

Overall, the location and amenities are strong, but the hotel would greatly benefit from a major refresh to truly meet JW Marriott standards.

The property need upkeeping. Although service was prompt, however, lack of staff at the front desk and also inexperience staff at the restaurant is the weakness. I’ve booked for the most prestige room, however it was not up to expectation. With Moldy smell and towels worn out among few issues during our stay.

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

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.

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 🙂

Very happy stay in Seoul

I have been lucky to be able to have stayed in many 5 starts places, for example The Peninsula Tokyo, and I have to say that the service at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Seoul has one of the best service I have ever received, the crew went far and beyond to make me feel happy and welcome, from Kate at the front desk, to Miss Moon and Ian at the bar and the crew at Tavolo 24, smiles and great great service. The Spa experience was very nice also. The room decoration is a little bit outdated, but still a very pleasant bedroom, with all amenities even a hair flat iron. Most of the rooms have a view of Heunginjimun Gate as well as the restaurant and rooftop bar. You have cheonggyecheon stream right there, if you like walking like me, you can walk from to In-sadong , Myeongdong, gyeongbokgung palace, following the stream, beautiful walk in the middle of Seoul. If you don’t like walking, the metro line 4, is also right there in the corner and takes you also to Eujiro, Myeongdong, straight to Ichon (Korea National Museum) and basically everywhere you want to go. Shopping is good too, Doota and Hyundai malls are 5 min walk and also DDP Design Plaza is right there 5 min walk, the hotel is great value for money. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Good for business and/or pleasure

We had a mixed situation where wife had to tend to some family business while, at the same time we both had to continue working (in US time).
We both had to be on the phone or Virtual meetings during night time in Korea.
The only thing we had to adapt was to move to a larger room (suite) where we could each talk without disturbing the other.
The hotel had no problem accommodating that.
Accommodations are great, and, if you have access to the lounge, you have your breakfast and dinner.
Subway stations are steps away, so you can be anywhere anytime.

very surprise on the service of this 5 star well known hotel.

the staff are not well trained or they even do not have such knowledge? eg: breakfast finish at 10:30am and the staff will start to block the toilet for cleaning and mod the floor even there are still guest having breakfast.

not worth to go for executive club or breakfast, below average.

Great Seoul hotel

This is a fantastic hotel for Seoul leisure or business travellers. Location is great, right in dongdaemun square and close to many restaurants and shopping. It is also right on a subway. Room was very large with high quality finishes, very new condition and very clean. The gym and pool were fantastic, probably the best hotel facilities we have seen. Gym was extremely large and very complete. One negative is that the restaurants and bars in the hotel are extremely overpriced, like ridiculously so (US$30 for the cheapest cocktail). Don’t bother and eat at other nearby establishments. Look for rates with breakfast included as the cost at the hotel is extraordinary.

Not worth the price and bad up selling tactics

They tried to upsell me. Told me there were no double bed rooms and the hotel was clearly not full. They lied about not having a standard double bed room available and tried to sell me a suite room. Also, my cousins who live in Korea came to the hotel and the staff was snobby to them. I will not be staying at a Marriott again. I am a Hilton gold member and will be staying with them from now on.
