The hotel is in a superb location - very close to the AREX AirPort Express station making it convenient to travel to the ICN airport. Hongdae is an interesting and lively area. The view from our room window was excellent, and the room itself was large with comfortable large king bed. It was fairly expensive but you do get what you pay for. Excellent!
