Staff are warm n welcoming, always with a smile,especially boss Insuk n the Choon, the lady who checked me in(hope i got d name right). Housekeeping does great job in cleaning n changing towels daily. Would be great if there was a closet to hang clothes. Bus stop for Airport limousine is conveniently located across d hotel, only 2 minutes walk. Thanks Insuk n team for your hospitality

Quiet hotel, great neighborhood (park in the south, great night market to eat at a couple 100 m away, great other zones to eat in, metro close, shopping center close, river walk close, great little cafés close, laundry close). Really nice staff-the owner/staff are all great, we spent our Christmas here and even received a little gift each, always helpfull and friendly. All of them speak English, which is not common to find. Comfy beds, hot showers, AC's in rooms, TV with Netflix (was also not common on our journey through Korea), clean, little café in the lobby. Reasonable price. I would happily come back anytime.

It was an amazing stay, I arrived a bit later than check in time but I was able to call the owner to let her know and she waited for me to arrive, the owner was very nice and she helped me make my cup ramen everyday haha, the employee offered me milk and juice whenever I was eating in the dining area. I even got a free room upgrade when a room became available, they also asked about my day and had conversations with me knowing I was a solo traveler. I highly recommend!

From ICN, it took 1hr and 30min using the airport bus 6001 (15,000KRW per person) to GloryInn. Just mention to the bus driver that u need to stop at Baiton Hotel (GloryInn is located opposite of this hotel). 7-11 and CU mart r located within walking distance. Housekeeping and clean towel were provided daily (kudos to the staffs for keeping our room clean at all times!). Since we stayed thr during the winter, the floor is quite cold and it took some time for the heater to warm up the room. I wish they had seat warmer and bidet for the toilet tho. They provided toothbrush (1x only), shower gel, hair conditioner and shampoo. The bathroom is quite small so it’s btr to change ur dry clothes outside. Simple breakfast r provided daily until 9.45am. The staffs r friendly and could conversed well in English and Japanese. From Gloryinn, thr plenty of subway entrances nearby with stairs (so if you r lugging big suitcases or walked too many steps during the day, good luck to you! It was quite difficult for us to find any entrance/exit with elevator or lift). For convenience, I will suggest downloading the NaverApp to navigate using subway/walking distance in Seoul instead of using Googlemap. For Trazy tour, the walking distance from the hotel to Dongdaemun Exit 10 is just 20min.

Super friendly staff who would greet you and wish you a good day each time you entered/left the hotel. Clean rooms and in a convinient location. The walls are rather thin so you can hear quite a bit of noise from outside of the room. Will look to stay here again if I am in Korea.

Such a nice place!
All the staff are really lovely and helpful, the breakfast is really good and the room is clean and comfortable. It's also really close to 2 stations which connect to 3 different lines for people that want to move around the city a lot, and a row of woori ATMs (these ones seemed to work best for my foreign card).

Great experience at Glory Inn
I enjoyed my stay at Glory Inn. Staffs were nice and breakfast was great. The location was perfect for me since my plan was to travel Seoul. I would like to say thanks to amazing staffs. They were so accomodating. I would recommend this place. P.S. I loved their shampoo. If any of you from the hotel check my review, can you let me know the brand and name of the shampoo?

Booked for 3 nights. This place is very close to Dongdaemun station on line 5 (exit 7) and Euljiro 4-ga on line 2 (this is the preferred station for luggage because they have lifts)--and yet nobody in the area seemed to know about it! Strongly suggest you have the right maps or wifi coupons on you, so you can make your way around the city in general. The staff are helpful and friendly young girls. They do say multilingual staff, but that's not the case all 24 hours (I am SO glad I speak basic korean) There was a bit of a mix up in the rooms on my first night but the switch was easy enough. While the rooms are tiny they are still good enough for a short stay, and just as places to sleep. Breakfast is toast, fruit, and cereal. Some juice and barley tea also available. Good for a couple days,easy to get bored after the second time around. I had issues with my electrical adapter and they were kind enough to lend me one for a deposit. Very handy. One issue I did have was that it seemed like there was no cleaning done in my room. I'm not sure if this had to be specially requested or was provided at a separate fee, but a bit disappointing to come back to an upswept floor and unmade bed. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to travel through Dongdaemun, or the north east side generally.

Budget friendly stay
We stayed at GloryInn for 1 week. The location was great, walking distance to the train station, a history and culture center, shopping malls and a whole lot of bubbling activities. The reception staff were courteous and very helpful. My only suggestion is that the room and wash room should be properly cleaned daily. Thanks

Great location and friendly staff
For us, it was a great location as it was less than a 10 minutes walk from the huge Dongdaemun market area (great food!). Check in was simple and the staff were very helpful. The Airport Limousine stops immediately opposite and the Metro station is less than a 3 minute walk too. We hadn't realised the bathroom was going to be a wet room and you are right next to the toilet when showering. The beds we found very comfortable and the breakfast was good too!
