Good location, but need to consider the price before booking.
Pros:

The best location in 홍대.

Cons:

Wasting a lot of time for waiting elevator, and the breakfast was too crowded and not many choices. The price during the weekend is crazy. Somehow they gave me the room without window, which is quite dark.

Super gelegene Unterkunft
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr gut an der Hongik University Station gelegen. Man kommt also sehr gut mit dem ÖPNV überall hin und auch in der Gegend gibt es sehr viel Angebot an Shops und Essen, sowohl authentisch als auch touristisch.
Die Zimmer waren sauber, das Personal war nett.

Cons:

Teilweise ein wenig hellhörig

Pros:

świetny hotel zlokalizowany w centrum handlowym, tuz przy dworcu. Transfer na lotnisko odbywa sie tak: wychodzisz z hotelu, skręcasz w lewo i jesteś na peronie- super! Na pewno wrócę. pokoje i łóżka komfortowe, okolica świetna, modzieowa, sklepowa. Bardzo dużo opcji na dobre jedzenie 1-10 min od hotelu.
