What guests think

Hotel The Designers Dongdaemun is praised for a very convenient setting near Dongdaemun and transport links, but overall feedback describes a mixed, no-frills experience shaped by aging rooms, variable upkeep, and generally courteous service suited to travelers prioritizing location.

Many note dust, leftover hair, and occasional mold, with housekeeping described as irregular or superficial even when signs were displayed. Rooms vary in size and design, and several report worn fixtures, misaligned doors, thin walls or musty odors, plus bathrooms without shower curtains that leave floors wet. While the front desk is often kind and helpful, a few mention slow responses and photos not matching the actual rooms. Expect a simple, location-first stay if you can overlook wear and inconsistent cleaning.

クーラーから黒いホコリ？カビ？が落ちてきたり、清掃を毎日頼みましたが床を掃くこともされておらず日に日に不快でした。立地はよく夜中まで遊んでも徒歩で帰れるのでそれだけは良かったです。

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.

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.

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.

東大門総合市場での買い物が目的でこちらのホテルを利用しました。最寄りの東大門歴史文化公園駅は3本の路線が入っていて、交通の便はかなり良く便利でした。部屋の広さも充分で、洗面・トイレ・お風呂が広いので浴槽でシャワーを浴びてもトイレがずぶ濡れになる事はなく、用意していたシャワーカーテンも必要なかったです。ただ一つ、コンセントを刺す所が2箇所しかなかったのが不便でした。他は何も困った事はなくスタッフも日本語が話せて親切で良かったです。

Stayed 3 nights

東大門総合市場での買い物が目的でこちらのホテルを利用しました。最寄りの東大門歴史文化公園駅は3本の路線が入っていて、交通の便はかなり良く便利でした。部屋の広さも充分で、洗面・トイレ・お風呂が広いので浴槽でシャワーを浴びてもトイレがずぶ濡れになる事はなく、用意していたシャワーカーテンも必要なかったです。ただ一つ、コンセントを刺す所が2箇所しかなかったのが不便でした。他は何も困った事はなくスタッフも日本語が話せて親切で良かったです。

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.
