“Dongdaemun's metro perch”
JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul is an awesome ten-of-ten stay — a superb location on top of the metro with the Hyundai outlet and several malls five minutes away, Myeongdong two stops, and DDP walkable, friendly courteous staff who speak very good English, good room service and breakfast, a tenth-floor executive-lounge terrace overlooking Dongdaemun that saves a sightseeing stop, and a soft comfortable bed. Caveats though: the key card was a bit flaky.
