“Excellent location near the Hongik University district with art shops. The on-site Italian and Japanese restaurant, Kitchen Special One, was a highlight, along with free Wi-Fi. The spa, hot tub, and fitness center were relaxing, and I felt safe with the security features and helpful concierge.”

“A hip new hotel in a fantastic part of Seoul. My room was clean and came with a double jacuzzi and a nice bathroom. The breakfast was excellent with a wide range of options, and the location, right next to Hongdae Shopping Street, was marvellous. It's within walking distance of all the main stores and a useful base for exploring the city.”
