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.

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.

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.

The staff were lovely and the room was modern but a little on the smaller side and only a small wardrobe (open) and a drawer so good for a short stay. The hotel was located right near the train and main streets in Hongdae. We were on the main road and it was very noisy all night

Room was clean but a bit small. Not much space to open up your luggage
We also stayed on a lower floor and every night you can hear loud music from the street until midnight
Breakfast was a pretty range
Great location as it’s really close to a wide variety of restaurants and exit 9 of the hongkik uni station
