Liked:The hotel location right in front of the Tree Line Forrest made travelling on. Y own easier, a wonderful place for evening walks, cafes with a book and fantastic choice of restaurants.

It was a decent stay in general. We enjoy our stay.

Liked:Location is perfect. Right near the subway exit and near the stores. The breakfast was great and has a good variety of food. The room size is decent in regards of the area.

Disliked:The hotel corridor smells like a sewer, but not inside the hotel room. Not sure if it’s the hongdae area has it because we smell that on the street as well.

Liked:The hotel is in a great location and it’s also clean and tidy

Disliked:The hotel charges $10 to dispose of an old suitcase and another $10 even for a pair of old shoes. I found these fees rather excessive and not very guest-friendly

Good but not great. I would stay again but hope for improvements.

Liked:The location is amazing. Can’t beat it Breakfast was good. Housekeeping great. Clean. Great bathroom and toilet.

Disliked:Our room was very small. We had two twins which was fine but barely any space around the beds. Only a small space for one suitcase otherwise no room at all for the second person. The elevator is very, very slow. For how often it is going up and down it takes a long time just to get out of the building.
