I had such a lovely stay! The hotel is conveniently located right by the MTR exit with a lift, which makes it super easy to manage your luggage. Plus, it's just a hop away from the airport railway, so you won't have to trek through the subway for too long. And if you love shopping, you're in luck—it's really close to the vibrant Hongdae area, filled with plenty of delicious food options!

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.
