Hotel Gaon Golden Park Dongdaemun

Don't come here if you want to sleep.

The location of the hotel within a busy market area means noise disturbances from people working through the night. There is also very poor soundproofing in the building itself, I could hear every time somebody flushed the toilet in a different room. The room fittings were very spartan and functional and the beds were hard. The air conditioner was very loud and you were left with a choice of either sweating, listening to people packing boxes beneath your window or trying to ignore the drone of the AC. I slept in total about 5 hours over three nights.

We was very satisfied with our stay at this hotel. We arrived earlier than 15:00 and we were immediately checked into the room. The room was clean, mattresses and pillows were comfortable. Near Dongmyo subway station, shops and restaurants

Good location, and good value, receptionists are helpful

The window is a little small but acceptable.

the friendliness of the staff-very commendablethe hotel is nearby Dongdaemun and other attractions

the rooms are small

The bathroom and toilet was clean! And I like that you can get drinkwater at the 6th floor and make use of the washing machine.

The room looked bigger and cleaner in the photos. The street which the hotel was in also looked a bit bad.

Staff was nice and gave us the room early. Quiet location, big bathroom.

Good location, friendly staff

Please make at least cosmetic repairs. Some rooms are in poor condition. Very small towels (as for the face). Noisy air conditioner working right under the window.

Price and distance from train station

Location- narrow street was difficult to access by car

I was very satisfied with my stay in this hotel, with a very good value for money, the staff was very warm and welcoming. The hotel is very well located close to shops and the metro. I highly recommend it!

The location was very good and you could easily walk to 3 different metro lines. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped us with everything we asked, they always made us smile. The bathroom and showers were really nice, clean and big. Clean bed sheets.

The floors of the rooms were dirty, especially under the bed. Our air conditioner started dripping water at one point and we had to put towels on the floor.

seriously the best hotel and very affordable. clean and just nice space for two people. the bed bit hard but the pillow is fluffy and comfortable. the room n toilet are very clean and calming. they also have microwave, washing machine and water dispenser at 6th floor. very near to dongmyo station & dongdaemun station. near to mart and places to visit like cheonggyecheon stream, dongdaemun design plaza, dongmyo flea market. perfect hotel with so many facilities. staff also very friendly and helpful. definitely going to come back ?

cosy

no kettle, no proper towels , still cold despite windows are closed. bed was quite hard. but place was clean .

Very convenient location, excellent staff and very clean

The mattress was very hard, and the soundproofing was poor.

Location is okay, near Dongmyo and Dongdaemun subway stations, near bus stations tooReception is super helpful, helped us with taxi booking and gave clear instruction. Checking in was smoothThe floor was heated. There's hair dryer too. Room size is okay

there's some unpleasant smell along the corridor. I guess it is from the used bedsheets that was stuffed in big bags and just lined along the corridor.

Staff: The owner was really accommodating and was fluent in English which made it easier for me (as someone who understands little Korean). He was present daily and open when you need him. Location: The hotel was walking distance from 2 subway stations which made it easier to move around the city. It is also near the Dongdaemun Night Market which made it easier to shop. Some fastfood and restaurants around the hotel were also operational 24/7.

Not the hotel's fault but some of the alleys leading to the hotel were a little dark. So if youre like me that got delayed in arrival in Korea you might want to take a longer route to the hotel so that itll be well lit -Allthough Korea is really safe. (Again not the hotel's fault)

The room was of decent size for two people, and the bathroom was nice and clean. The wifi worked well considering it was free which was very helpful. Staying during summer meant it was really hot so being able to use the air-con at any time was really good.

There was nothing that I necessarily found to be unpleasant during my stay here. The taxi driver found it a little hard to locate at first but it was late at night so maybe finding it during the day may have been easier.

The receptionist / hotel manager speaks chinese, English and korean. He is incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Helped me out big time. Thank you

The staff was really kind and speaks communicable English. Weirdly, I asked the staff which station was the closest one to the hotel and he said the distance between Dongdaemun station and Dongmyo station to the hotel are the same BUT the truth is Dongmyo station is only 5 mins walk while Dongdaemun take up to 10-15 mins walk. The price of the room is reasonable compared to its location.

The bed sheet had a weird smell. The window didn't have a proper curtain to hide all the lights during daytime so it was quite hard to force myself back to sleep after 7 am. The entire building didn't provide any utensils to eat so the only way to eat was to go outside.

The location is what I liked the most, you can reach a lot of interesting places on foot and the subway is very close. The surrounding area even at night feels very safe! The staff is very kind and helpful! Plus the hotel cat is very cute!!

Very friendly staff. Very helpful and kind. Staff spoke English. Would highly recommend.
