What guests think
At Starhostel Dongdaemun Suite, travelers highlight the excellent transport access near Jongno 5 ga and Gwangjang Market, friendly staff, and budget pricing, while noting small, simple rooms, a dark alley approach, and no elevator.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many clean rooms but recurring mentions of worn interiors, stained linens or hairs, occasional bugs, and patchy maintenance. A simple free breakfast and a communal kitchen with water dispensers are appreciated, though water pressure and bed comfort vary between rooms. Expect a basic, budget stay with very convenient city access.

Location
Very convenient for transport and sightseeing—near Jongno 5 ga Station, the airport bus, and Gwangjang Market, with several sights walkable. The approach is a dark, narrow alley with some adult venues, which some found uncomfortable at night.
