The hotel was very clean and beautiful. The staff was friendly and greeted us everytime we left and arrived at the hotel. We had the breakfast buffet twice. Although it was pricey, the food was delicious and had plenty of options. The dining options around the hotel qere plentiful as well. Our room had a beautiful view of the Dongdaemun Gate.

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 🙂
