Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae

The highlight this time was how lively and convenient the surrounding area was. A big shout-out to a gentleman at the front desk; his attitude was exceptionally good and he made me feel very welcome. However, compared to my stay at this hotel a year ago, I was quite disappointed this time. Firstly, there's absolutely no need to book a balcony room – it's just a tiny corner, incredibly small, and the balcony room actually felt a bit smaller than a standard room. My next complaint is about the hotel breakfast; it was exactly the same for all four days, with no variety whatsoever. Lastly, the complimentary snacks and drinks in the room were only provided on the first day. Although the room was cleaned afterwards, they were never refilled.

This was my second time staying at this hotel after returning from Busan. The check-in process was simple and convenient. Although the room wasn't huge, it was well-equipped. Plus, it's right next to Hongdae, and just a six or seven-minute walk to the Hongdae Noodle Library. It's also very close to Hongik University Station on Line 2. Overall, a very comfortable stay.
