Great stay!

Great stay, everyone was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Food was good, amazing location. Recommend 10/10 would stay again

Would Stay Again

The staff at this hotel were extremely friendly and accommodating. When we had an issue with the A/C in our room, the employee we spoke to showed genuine concern and sent a technician to our room within minutes. Although the room lacked a closet, it was just what we needed since we spent most of our time exploring Seoul. Complimentary breakfast and coin laundry were definitely huge perks. The location of hotel was perfect especially since it’s above Hongdae Station and within a 5 minute walk of the main shopping street. I’d definitely stay here again.

Rommel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was central to the Hongdae area, the amenities were in walking distance, close to bus stops, train stations, coffee shops dining options. It was difficult to locate at first as it is in a complex and no obvious signage form the way we entered. Inside the interior was really clean and modern. The room was spacious, The staff were helpful they helped us to get a taxi to Incheon which was seamless.

Jorge E, 8-night trip

4/10 Fair

Lousy lift but good rooms

The lift lobby system is horrible, need to stagger checkout timing instead of everyone at same time.. only 3 lifts going up and down, with lobby in middle of the building.. smart people can imagine it will lead to overcrowded.
