Great location and we had a lovely view from our window. Short walk to the red street and the metro station. Only a 20 minute walk from Hongik station where many tour buses arrange pick up, or it’s just 1 metro stop away. Only fault was that the toilet was directly in front of the shower with no glass or curtain to separate it so when you use the showers the floor by the toilet gets wet so then my feet and the bottom of my jeans would get wet when using the toilet within a couple of hours after showering

Would definitely book here again. Currently undergoing upgrades and renovations but nothing too disruptive. Staff was amazingly helpful!

in regards to location, this is great as right by Red Road in Hongdae filled with nightlife and restaurants. Unfortunately with cleanliness, our experience was extremely poor.

This hotel is located in an excellent area. The only thing is it felt a bit creepy. There isn’t a real lobby. It’s just a corner desk where you check in and out. The hallway to my room was dark and had many housekeeping carts lined against the wall. The wall had chips of paint and drywall missing. The room was spacious but creepy as there was a two person tub. It was more like a Love Hotel than a regular hotel. I wouldn’t stay again unless absolutely necessary.

Great location. There is no laundry service nor laundry machines on site. They are currently renovating so the noise levels are quite loud from 9 AM to about 5 PM.
