Great location
Modern business hotel, popular with tourists. The location is fantastic right next to Hongdae station. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is fine, but can get very crowded at certain timings. Easy access to HOngdae street for entertainment and food.

Eva, 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.

Very convenient location, staff are nice. It would be nicer if there is more variety choice of breakfast.
Ka Chun Ivan, 2-night trip

The property is within walking distance of many places of interest and right next to the subway station. Very convenient.

This is the second time I stay within this hotel and it never fails to feel luxurious. Will definitely stay here again!
Ana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is really ideal as right next to the subway exit and connected to a mall complex. The main street in Hongdae is the back of the building so it's very conveniently located. During the first night, we heard some parties outside, but the rest of the week was pretty quiet.
Jewel Joohee, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super convenient location. Close to everything you can wish for as a tourist. I also love the ability to do self laundry and the easy drop facility by Korea air added onto the convenience. Room was a little small but was acceptable.
Shiu Lin Elaine, 4-night trip

Nice hotel
Solid, clean hotel in the perfect location for exploring Hongdae! "Inner view" might be hard for a longer stay. Buffet breakfast included, food is pretty good.

Jia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

My family stayed in Holiday Inn Express In Hongdae Area, Korea on Jan 2—Jan 3, 2025. When trying to check in our flight of Asiana from Seoul to San Franscisco, we encountered some problems, so we asked the front desk staff to help us make the phone call to the airline company. It was 5:30pm and the phone line was busy for an hour, but the staff patiently used his own cell phone to call and was on hold for one hour without complaining. The airline operator finally picked up the phone and answered questions in Korean language which the hotel staff communicated without any issues. We were greatly appreciative of his kindness and patience as we traveled in this busy time of the year. We will definitely come back to stay when we visit Korea again.
