I had a pleasant five-night stay at Eastgate Tower Hotel in September, with a quick night away in Jeju. The location in Dongdaemun was fantastic, with plenty of eateries and shopping nearby, plus convenient access to public transport. However, the bathroom design had flooding issues after showers, and I noticed a lack of thorough cleaning in my room. Despite a few minor gripes, the overall experience was enjoyable and the staff were helpful.
