Why guests love itA family with two teenagers booked Dongdaemun Stay Garden as a practical base for late-night shopping around Dongdaemun, and the rooftop terrace turned into their meeting point. Each evening the teens compared their finds while the parents watched the city lights from the roof with a cup of tea from the shared kitchen. The English-speaking staff helped with directions. The terrace is unpretentious, with no bar or food service, which kept it relaxed.
