Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Gaon Golden Park Dongdaemun
77 Jong-ro 44-gil, Changsin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Seoul, South Korea
This quirky little hotel feels like you’ve stepped into a dollhouse—everything seems petite and whimsical—and while it’s clear that the brightly colored walls, faux flowers, and kitschy baubles are meant to attract a young, budget-conscious Instagram crowd, it’s also got all the necessary room amenities like kettles and strong Wi-Fi for a comfortable, albeit snug, stay.
PROS
- guest microwave, fridge, and washing machine
- knowledgeable staff who offer up area suggestions
- a variety of eateries and bars are scattered along the same street
CONS
- rooms are small
