Location is fantastic. honestly can’t find a better location. it’s right next to metro and has direct line to airport. hongdae food and shops all walking distance. only issue is that rooms are abit small and can only open 1 luggage at one time. the hotel staff also don’t allow us to eat at the Lobby, even though rooms are too small for us to gather. so, we don’t have place to gather and eat even a birthday cake

This hotel offers a very good location with daily breakfast. The rooms are clean, and the heater works well in the winter. We arrived late at night, and the staff were very friendly. It is very close to Honde University Station and includes a buffet breakfast. This is a good place to go if you arrive on a late-night flight.

per our booking, our room is one queen bed and one single bed. upon entering the room, it has 2 single beds only. location wise, very convenient since it is just a stone throw away from Hongik Univ. exit 5 and besides AK plaza which is a mall. will still book here again since it is convenient to and from airport.
