Excellent stay for independent travellers.
Pros:

The best part is the hotel’s central location with everything nearby, from train station, cafes/ restaurants to the busy shopping streets of Hongdae. The hotel is clean and feels new. The laundry room is excellent.

Cons:

While it was a pleasant and comfortable stay, the cost is definitely on the pricier side which I suppose is the expected market rate in Seoul. There are no bell staff who could help with luggage but hotel staff is generally friendly and hospitable.

Pros:

This is a decent four-star hotel with an international reputation. The lobby is wonderful. The location is a 2-minute subway ride away, surrounded by lively streets and shops. I prefer this area to Myeongdong. The hotel is definitely one of the best in the city in its category, as I've stayed at many in central Seoul.

Cons:

The price in 2026. I think it was cheaper in 2025

在弘大1號出口步行2分鐘即抵達,對面就是熱鬧的弘大商圈!雖然價格偏貴,但旅遊就是要節省時間!可以逛到很晚再回飯店,不需要擔心走遠路~要吃宵夜走路就可抵達!
Pros:

員工友善、位置傑出、房間乾淨、打掃整潔

Cons:

燈光太暗
