Mangrove Dongdaemun Reviews

The room was very clean and tidy. Though small, it had everything you could need, even a fridge. The self-check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, making it perfect for introverts.

Absolutely loved the Mangrove Tree Resort! This time I booked a double room and it was spotless and tidy! Plus, having a kitchen and laundry room was super convenient. Food deliveries can come right to the lobby, and there's a coffee shop downstairs. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time.

2nd time stayed...the room and bathroom is clean and clean...

I love the hotel’s corporate identity and wayfinding design. It is both stylish and practical. I also really enjoy the facilities they offer, from the kitchen and canteen to the hotel shop, rooftop, workspaces, library with curated books, and café. It creates a strong sense of community and creativity. The room itself is practical, although they don’t provide some small amenities like cotton buds and a shower cap. In the hallway, there is a water dispenser where you can refill your bottle, which is very convenient. One thing I noticed is that during my stay, there was no room cleaning at all. It became a bit annoying as the room got dirty and the trash was not taken out. If you are planning to stay here, I definitely recommend trying the hotel café. It is seriously good. The coffee, Greek yogurt, and snacks are all delicious.

Conveniently located at Exit 4 of Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, with an airport bus stop right across the street. I stayed in a bunk bed room, and there was space under the bed to store my luggage. The hot water pressure was great, perfect for a shower and washing hair. Check-in, check-out, taking out the trash, and luggage storage are all self-service, so be prepared to expend some energy on these tasks. There's a communal kitchen available, fully equipped with appliances and condiments, which was great for heating up a late-night snack. Overall, it's a good choice for hostel-goers and independent travelers.

Worth staying, it's a very convenient hostel. I stayed in a 6-person female dorm, and there were two repeat guests who had stayed at this hotel many times. Although it's a self-service hotel, if you have any issues, the front desk is quick to resolve them. You can also see Namsan Tower from the rooftop.

This was my second stay here. The room was clean and tidy, though a bit small. Overall, I still found it quite good and great value for money.

Quite comfortable, and you can also cook your own meals.

Location: The location is very convenient, with direct subway access to Gimpo Airport and KSPO. Namsan Tower is also right nearby. Hygiene: Overall, it was very good. The hotel interior was also clean. Usage: Every time I wanted to use the elevator, I had to scan a new QR code that popped up to get it to work. Since I used it frequently, I found it a bit cumbersome, but it definitely makes it much more secure. Facilities: I booked a bunk bed and I was on the top bunk. At first, climbing up hurt my feet, and then I realized the ladder was rusty and broken. However, since I was only there to sleep at night and was out all day, I didn't bother changing rooms. So, you might want to take some time to inspect it. The second picture might show it more clearly.

This hotel offers minimal service, with a fully self-service check-in. The room was small and a bit cramped, but thankfully it was clean and cozy. The rooftop view was fantastic and perfect for taking photos.

I go to Seoul every month, and I've been staying at the Mangrove Hotel for several years now. It's a popular hotel, very conveniently located. The staff are all so friendly, and I love that I can easily pop over to Dongdaemun's many clothing malls late at night for some shopping.

The accommodation has a great location, with an airport bus stop right across the street. Getting around is very convenient, whether by bus or subway. There is luggage storage available both before check-in and after check-out. Everything is self-service. The room may have been slightly dusty, but overall I really liked it and would definitely stay here again.

The transportation is very convenient, a haven for introverts, and the Trip.com customer service is also excellent. I really like this place; a great improvement over other new hotels is the large mirror for makeup, and you can see Namsan Tower outside the window! 🥰🥰

Location: It's closest to Exit 4 of Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (which has an elevator). Right across from the hotel is where you catch the airport bus. Exit 1 leads directly to DDP, and Exits 11-12 go straight to the DUNDUN Mall (which has OY, Daiso, The North Face, Uniqlo, etc.). Facilities: The bunk bed room was a bit smaller than I expected. If you open a large suitcase, there's not much room to walk, but it's fine if you take everything out. The bathroom isn't a wet/dry separation (the shower head and sink are together). There's a small fridge you can use (it has an ice cube tray, but you need to freeze it in advance). Minor notes: I booked this hotel after staying at Mangrove in Jeju, so I was a bit disappointed it didn't have a coffee machine or ice maker. Every time I'm in Seoul, I feel like there's never enough time, and I never really get to make full use of the hotel's facilities. ㅠㅠ
