All staffs are very nice and friendly. I’m arrived earlier than the check-in time and it’s allowed me to store the luggage. The king bed room is clean, cozy and comfortable. Room size is not big but good enough for 1-2 people and for 1 luggage (opened). Location is excellent. Eating, shopping is just nearby. Absolutely I will stay here again for my next KR trip.

We booked the Superior Room with multiple beds. It’s perfect for a family of 3 or 4 with small kids. Room was spacious and hotel is conveniently located in Hongdae. There’s lots of shopping and food options to choose from. It’s close to public transportation or taxi/rideshare pickup. Friendly staff and had no issues communicating with guests. Hotel was clean. Elevator took a little while during busy times because it’s small. Will stay again.

This is the first time that I enter in a room through the toilet and shower, hopefully no friends came in. I stayed at this hotel some days before, and the room was more confortable and nicer. The rate for this room should be lower according to the poor layout.
Nice view!

This hotel is an excellent choice for anyone staying in Seoul, especially if you want to be right in the heart of Hongdae. The location is fantastic. Close to public transport, shops, restaurants, and the vibrant nightlife the area is known for. The hotel itself maintains a high standard throughout. The rooms are very clean, well-kept, and comfortable, making it easy to relax after a busy day out. Everything feels well-managed and thoughtfully maintained. Customer service was also reliable and helpful whenever needed. The staff were responsive and professional, making the overall experience smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient, clean, and dependable place to stay in Hongdae.
