“Dongdaemun split verdict”

In an extremely convenient spot near a beloved fried-chicken place, Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences draws a best-hotel-in-Korea verdict, clean comfortable rooms, punctual bell staff, superb counter service, a good gym, friendly staff with no communication problems and a surprise cake for a son's sixteenth birthday. A severe counterpoint though: a guest paying premium rates found old coffee-like stains on a duvet, no water restock and an empty tissue box after a day out with the clean light on, then a midnight fix with no compensation or real apology — urged others to avoid; another cited small rooms, so-so hygiene and weak English.
