Would Stay Again

The staff at this hotel were extremely friendly and accommodating. When we had an issue with the A/C in our room, the employee we spoke to showed genuine concern and sent a technician to our room within minutes. Although the room lacked a closet, it was just what we needed since we spent most of our time exploring Seoul. Complimentary breakfast and coin laundry were definitely huge perks. The location of hotel was perfect especially since it’s above Hongdae Station and within a 5 minute walk of the main shopping street. I’d definitely stay here again.

This was a fine hotel for walkability to transport. It was clean and staff were friendly . HOWEVER room 1618 has the worst sewage smell you can imagine. We called them 3 times and each time it was attended to promptly but the smell would come back through in the middle of the night and fill the whole room. Very unacceptable. It was nauseating and unpleasant for our 4 night stay at $AUD 1068.00

My family stayed in Holiday Inn Express In Hongdae Area, Korea on Jan 2—Jan 3, 2025. When trying to check in our flight of Asiana from Seoul to San Franscisco, we encountered some problems, so we asked the front desk staff to help us make the phone call to the airline company. It was 5:30pm and the phone line was busy for an hour, but the staff patiently used his own cell phone to call and was on hold for one hour without complaining. The airline operator finally picked up the phone and answered questions in Korean language which the hotel staff communicated without any issues. We were greatly appreciative of his kindness and patience as we traveled in this busy time of the year. We will definitely come back to stay when we visit Korea again.
