Breakfast: While some guests found the breakfast adequate, others noted limited menu variety and inconsistency in food availability. Despite this, the buffet was described as 'decent' or 'included,' with a range of options available, though refill speed and portion consistency were occasionally criticized.(based on 134 reviews)

The transportation is incredibly convenient, with a direct Airport Express connection. Shopping nearby is also very easy, and there are bars and cosmetic clinics all around.

This hotel is super popular! I wanted to book it for the Qingming holiday, but it was already sold out. It's right outside Hongdae Subway Exit 4, and there's a big mall downstairs with a 24-hour convenience store inside. It's really convenient and the price is quite low compared to other hotels in the area.

This hotel is conveniently located in the same building as AK Plaza in Hongdae. You enter the hotel through a back door of the mall, which is right by Exit 5 of Subway Line 2. From Exit 5, you can also access the Incheon Airport Express. Downstairs, there are three convenience stores nearby, as well as coffee shops. An OY is just a short walk away, making it super easy to grab a bite or go shopping. Our room was clean, and even with a king-sized bed, there was plenty of space for two suitcases. They offer a self-service breakfast that changes daily, and the food was decent.

Very convenient location. The hotel is right above AK Mall, and it's super easy to take the Airport Express to Hongdae.

The hotel is conveniently located right above Subway Line 2. Downstairs, there's a Starbucks, CU, 7-Eleven, and a mall. It's also very close to the pedestrian street. I stay at this hotel every time I visit Seoul. The front desk staff's Chinese language skills could use some improvement.

The location is excellent, but the service was disappointing. A few issues worth noting: 1. Entrance Downlight The entrance downlight automatically turns off after a few seconds. This becomes frustrating when trying to use the mirror, as the light repeatedly switches off and you have to walk toward the sensor each time to reactivate it. 2. Microwave Request There is no microwave in the room. When we called to request one to heat up food (we were staying on Level 14), the staff asked us to go down to Level 7 (Lobby). After reaching the lobby, we were then told to follow them back up to Level 14 to use a staff lounge microwave. Since they already knew we were calling from Level 14, it would have made more sense to ask us to meet there directly. 3. Additional Toilet Paper Request On the first day of our Seoul stay, my partner experienced food poisoning after having KBBQ nearby and had diarrhea and vomiting throughout the day. When we requested additional toilet paper, we were told to go down to the lobby to collect it ourselves. This will never happen in Japan. 4. Air Conditioning Issue The ceiling air conditioning was not functioning. When we called to check, we were told it was no longer operational, and the initial suggestion was to open the window. However, the air quality index was around 300 at the time. A cooling fan was eventually offered, but the initial lack of awareness regarding the air quality was concerning. Overall, while the location is very convenient, the service standards did not meet expectations. Attached a picture of the air quality during our stay.

I stayed for 4 consecutive nights, and the breakfast was the same every single day. There was almost no variation in the menu, only very minor changes, which made it feel not worth the price — especially for guests staying multiple nights. In addition, the food ran out quite quickly and was not refilled promptly. Guests had to wait, and some items were no longer available. Overall, the service was not as impressive as expected. The only strong point of this hotel is its location, which is very convenient and easy to access. However, in other aspects, it did not meet expectations. I hope the hotel will consider making improvements in the future.

Great location, very convenient for transport. The breakfast was just okay, nothing special. The only downside was that the ventilation in the room was a bit poor, maybe it's worse in winter. Other than that, everything else was pretty good.
