Good service and location

There was a musty smell on the floor we stayed at. The room was quite small and the lightings in the room was quite dimmed. But the location is good as it's very near to shopping belt. Service from the staff were really good though.

Good area. In the heart of Hongdae, so you're within walking distance of the busy streets, shopping malls and public transportations. Only issue is the area can be pretty loud. Hotel staff were professional and nice. Room would be cleaned everyday once you're out exploring. Overall, it was good.

The location was great. It was walking distance to the train station. There are plenty of shopping and food around this location. The breakfast didn’t have many options. It was the same food everyday. We booked 2 rooms and it wasn’t spacious at all. One of the room didn’t have a shower. Instead, it had a bathtub with a curtain. It was difficult to use the spray. Water would splash everywhere. Overall, the staffs are very friendly.

Within 2 minutes walk from Hongdae metro station, clean room though not exactly the most spacious (thank you for the upgrade) and overall very comfortable stay. No toiletries (other than bath gels, shampoo and lotion) provided because of sustainability reasons I suppose. On my last night two of the three elevators to the guest rooms were down at the same time so there was a bit of queue to go up to rooms but all’s good.
