My stay at the hotel was mixed. The location was excellent, right by the subway and in the heart of Hongdae, making it super convenient for exploring the area. However, the room was very small and uncomfortably hot, which was a downside. The service was top-notch, with the staff going out of their way to accommodate our needs. The dining options were good, but the limited dining hours were a bit restrictive.

The hotel is conveniently located right on the train line to Incheon Airport and a short walk to the subway station and shopping mall, making it an excellent choice for staying in Seoul. The rooms were a bit warm and on the small side for a family of three, but the staff provided exceptional service and were always willing to assist with any requests. The dining options were good but had limited choices for hot dishes, and the breakfast ended early at 8 am.
