I had a mix of experiences during my stay at Philstay Dongdaemun Avenue. The location was fantastic, just steps away from the DDP Station and near a 7-Eleven for quick snacks. However, my room was quite small and I encountered significant issues with the amenities and service, which was disappointing.
