Nice, Clean, Comfortable and Great Location
Great location. Very clean and comfortable hotel. Breakfast options were good. The gym is a little small, however there was rarely anyone in it when I was, so I was always able to use the equipment.

Just book it!
I was a bit dubious when I saw Holiday Inn Express in Seoul. It was top-notch in every way. Terrific breakfast, great elegant room. Wonderful views. Close-in to Hongdae neighborhood and university area and all that it offers.

6/10 Good

The design of the bathroom was terrible. There was this wall front of the toilet and almost had to sit sidewards. Property itself was clean.
