Reviews of Hamory Guesthouse Dongdaemun

Absolute nothing.

We have stayed in many hostels and guesthouses before, always with good experiences, never with any problems. This one was different, however. The alarm bells started ringing when the host asked us to pay again, saying he would refund the original payment. Since we already paid, we asked to be shown to our room. The host (the man) refused very rudely, started shouting and verbally abusing my partner. After discussing this with the woman for another hour, while the man continued cussing and drinking, refusing any assistance, we decided to pay again and trust the initial refund would be done. When we asked for the refund, the man tried charging our card a second time. As it was 11pm, and we had no other options, we decided to stay, but we knew there would be trouble. After checking out, the man made up “damage” which he used to threaten us for an additional charge. For all the beauty of the Korean country, and all the amazing people, this host is the exception. He is a fraud. A bitter and rude man and should honestly not be hosting a guesthouse. Tldr; do NOT book this guesthouse. Threatening, abusive and rude host Refusing amenities Fraudulent in payments and making up damage.

Great location

Place was boring. No elevator so had to carry big luggages by stairs. No other facilities

Great location, staff is good.

It was very cold. Room feels like refrigerator.

the location is excellent

staircase

The guesthouse is just across Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station Exit 1.

I'm not good at directions so a more visual instruction going to the guesthouse would be helpful. Upon going out of Exit 1, take the right turn (D1) and go up the stairs until you are at the street. Just take the crosswalk and you will find the guesthouse.

Near the bas stop

Nothing

Location: Close to the metro, line 2 is the best for tourism, also line 4 is really nice. The area itself is quite cool Ddp, some nice restaurants, shopping and if you keep walking you get to cheongyecheon stream. You get the standard you pay for. Nice host.

Very closed to shopping mall, subway station, and airport shuttle.

Great little hotel close to the subway. Easy to find and had everything i needed. Basic but comfortable and clean.

good location, good people

If you are not familier with small places with a lot of functionality , you may not like the place.

Very clean, excellent location

Nothing to mention..wifi is ok, only when they get it working Its not mentioned of course but the best way to get there is to exit the Dongdaemun History and culture train station at exit 1.Turn right and walk up the steps which has the red love heart on it.Once you reach the above street, turn left and head to the 1st pedestrian crossing.Cross over and Hamony is on your right, next to an airport bus stop..Google maps went strange to tell me I can only get there via a bus. Hamony is opposite exit 1.

They have no checklist before they hand over a room.1st night wifi wasnt checked to see if it works.They should check these things in front of you which means they go with you to your room to double check..Its such a simple action.Simply requires 2 legs.I solved my issue of the front door being locked and it was raining as well...Still cant belive no intercom or phone number on the front door.There is a coffee shop open next door..Some similar hotels work out a plan of action with the coffee shop.Shows not much thought has gone into many things. Maybe Im wrong but where on the booking.com did it mention they lock the front door around 7pm ? Maybe even earlier..Did it mention the hours of operation that their front desk is manned? Is there a intercom system if the door is locked when you arrive? Is there a telephone number on the door to ring if the door is locked? Once you book, do they send you extra information in relation to the times their reception is open and what to do if it isnt open for business? Seems to me thry want to be modern and have everything as a press pad door code..What happens if there is a malfunction? I had to change rooms and the room door code was the same as the previous room? Hmm, interesting...I suggest they get a copy of the E-Myth by Michael Gerber, in the Korean language.The lady is nice but its suited for the domestic market.Not international.Hamony mentions on booking.com thar rooms are sound proof.False.You can hear people pressing in their door code

Good location. it’s nearby the bus stop and the limousine bus no.6001 to get on or get off at Incheon Airport

The owner(male) is not friendly and bad service, you can hear the subway and sound from beside your room (the room is not soundproof) there is no elevator.

Directly in front of bus stop at Dongdaemun History & Culture Center with bus no. 6001 from airport. 20 metres to metro station and many food & beverage and shopping malls around. Hosts speak enough English to settle you in. Room is clean and with all the necessary as a guesthouse so it was comfortable.

It’s very near for meet ups in my group tours and subways are just few steps away.

It’s quiet in my room, I can relax and sleep well.

The owners were very kind and helped us with all our questions. The location is excellent since you live literally right in front of the Design Plaza.
