This place was simply amazing. So comfortable, clean, and filled with amenities. We felt very taken care of. We enjoyed the yummy free ramen, strawberry ice cream, onsen, welcome drink, and lovely staff. It was also right in Incheon and so easy to get anywhere else in Seoul and beyond. Thank you so much!

Unbeatable location, just a 3-minute walk from the metro exit. The hotel room is fairly spacious, with enough space to open two suitcases. There’s an onsen in the basement, and the restaurant offers free ramen in the evening, as is typical of Dormy. After the onsen, there are free popsicles or lactic drinks, and the lobby provides a welcome drink, which is very thoughtful.

Many extras to relax after exploring all day!

Had a wonderful stay here. Room was comfortable. Not huge but great if you plan to be out sightseeing most of the time. Daily breakfast is delicious, more Japanese than Korean. Nightly ramen served for guests was delicious comfort after exploring all day! My favorite part was the spa downstairs with hot/cold pools, sauna, and showers. There is a little lounge area to grab an ice cream or yogurt drink after you go to the spa. The staff was friendly and very helpful!

I had a wonderful stay here for the few nights I stayed in Seoul. The hotel was easy to find for me. Location is great. The staff were very friendly and helpful (I landed early and they let me check my luggage. They even offered early check in but I was okay with waiting). Rooms were very clean and up to date. Next time I’m in Seoul, I’ll stay here again.

The hotel staff were superb and really helpful here with any request made. The rooms were clean and they were comfortable. They are remodeling so there’s a bit of construction happening so the outside area looks a bit messy. The hotel is a bit hard to find because the signs aren’t as visible. Overall, I enjoyed my week long stay and I would stay here again next time I visit Seoul.

"Perfect Stay: Great Location, Comfortable

Here’s a polished version of your review: --- I recently stayed at the newly branded Dormy Inn, and overall, it was a great experience! Although it was a bit confusing at first when taking an Uber, it’s really easy to find once you get there. The location is perfect—close to the MTR, with plenty of cafes nearby. It has a great vibe, and unlike the busy Myeongdong, it’s not as crowded, but still just as easily accessible. The food prices are lower than other places, and honestly, the quality is even better. The underground big bath is a real highlight, and the complimentary late-night ramen is such a nice touch! The bed was very comfortable, and while the room size is typical for a Japanese hotel, it was cozy and well-equipped, with bottled water provided daily. I really liked this hotel and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend it!

I stayed for 25 nights, so I got to know the hotel and area quite well! Everyone was so helpful and friendly, rooms and common areas kept neat and clean. There is a nightly FREE ramen service and drink available, which was so welcome after days of wandering around the city. The free washing machine was also greatly appreciated. I was unable to take advantage of the on site sauna due to being heavily tattooed (I could have covered my tattoos and used it, but putting on all those "tattoo stickers" was just too much of a hassle for me to do). The sauna/laundry area is also passcode protected, with the code changing daily, so there is peace of mind knowing people can'tjust wander in randomly. The area around the hotel is full of shops, cafes, historical sites, temples and so many delicious options for dining out! There are also several different options for access to the subway so you can reallly get around very easily. The airport bus (aka airport limo) drops off and picks up only about 2 blocks away and made getting to and from Incheon a breeze and very afforable. I loved my stay at Dormyinn Express and will absolutely stay there again when I am able to go back to Korea.

I have stayed at Dormyinn Hotels in Japan before, so was interested in how this one would be. The location of the hotel is convenient for access to both of the main palaces. I was able to walk to each of these from the hotel. I had a little bit of trouble finding the entrance to the hotel when I arrived late at night, as it is a little bit hidden. The staff at the hotel were friendly. The room was okay, but could do with a little TLC, and more attention to cleanliness. The hotel provides one tea, and one cup. It would be nice if they provided an extra tea and cup so that it would be possible to have one in the evening and morning without the need to ask, and also if they provided stirrers for the tea (or if you want other drinks).
