Artravel Hongdae Apartment

Artravel Hongdae Apartment Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Artravel Hongdae Apartment? It’s actually got this perfect 10 rating, and honestly, after staying there I can see why. I mean, when you think of Seoul accommodations, especially around Hongdae, you’re usually dealing with tiny hotel rooms or cramped guesthouses – but this place is different in the best possible way.

The apartment setup is what really makes it work. You’ve got proper space to spread out, which is such a relief after walking around Hongdae all day (and trust me, you will be walking a lot). The area gets absolutely wild at night – I’m talking street food vendors until 3 AM, university students everywhere, and music spilling out of literally every other building. But here’s the thing about this place: you’re right in the thick of it without feeling overwhelmed. The soundproofing is surprisingly good for Seoul standards, though you’ll still catch some of that Hongik University energy filtering through – which honestly adds to the charm rather than detracting from it.

What I really appreciated was how the apartment feels lived-in rather than sterile. The kitchen actually has everything you need if you want to grab ingredients from one of those 24-hour marts that are everywhere around here, and there’s something satisfying about making your own coffee in the morning instead of hunting down a café (though let’s be real, you’ll probably end up at one of the amazing coffee spots nearby anyway). The neighborhood changes personality completely during the day – it’s like two different places. Morning Hongdae is quiet, almost sleepy, with ajummas sweeping the streets and the occasional early bird grabbing breakfast. Then around 4 PM, the whole area starts buzzing again as students finish classes and the evening crowd begins filtering in. Being in an apartment rather than a hotel means you get to experience both versions, which gives you a much more authentic feel for how Seoul actually works. The location puts you within walking distance of Hongik University’s front gates, and you’re maybe a five-minute walk from the main club district – close enough that you can easily pop back if you need to recharge or drop off shopping bags, but far enough that you won’t have drunk college kids singing under your window at 4 AM.
