This hotel is located in the vibrant Hongdae area, which made exploring the city super easy with its close proximity to a subway station offering a direct line to the airport. The rooms are clean and modern, but the unique bathtub placement next to the bed might not be for everyone. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, adding a nice touch to the stay. However, I felt that the dining options were quite limited, which left something to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, right near the subway and shopping areas, making it very convenient. The rooms, while clean, featured a low bed with the bathtub next to it, which was a bit unusual. While the staff was friendly, I found the dining options lacking, especially in variety. Overall, it felt like a decent value for the price I paid.

The hotel is conveniently located near both the train and subway stations, making it easy to get around. The room was unique with a bathtub next to the bed, but the low bed wasn't the best for comfort. The service was decent, though there were some hiccups during the night shift. Overall, it offered good value for money considering the location and amenities.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location is fantastic, being right near public transport and shopping. The room setup is unique with a bathtub next to the very low bed, which I found interesting but not entirely practical. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the service could be improved. For the price I paid, I expected a bit more in amenities and comfort.

The hotel had a cozy and charming atmosphere, with the rooms featuring a unique layout like a very low bed and a bathtub right next to it. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay more enjoyable. However, the low bed design wasn't ideal for everyone, and the amenities were a bit limited. The location was very convenient, being close to a subway station that had a direct line to the airport, which was a major plus for me.
