  The hotel is very easy to find from Incheon Airport. It was a good base for many of the tourist hotspots. The breakfast was fantastic! Plentiful, varied and always hot. The rooms were also a decent size and clean.

• Jeanette from Australia (9/10)

  So close to subway..shops and eateries great location ..has laundry facilities..

• Wilson from Singapore (9/10)

  The location is fantastic, right above Hongik University Station Exit 5 nearest to the AREX platform. This means if you need to catch an early flight in the morning or you are arriving into Seoul late at night via Incheon Airport or Gimpo Airport, this is probably one of the best hotels to check into. It is also a stone's throw away from the main Hongdae area and the Gyeongui Line Forest Park. The AK Plaza Hongdae is also situated just below the hotel (Hotel lobby is at 7th floor). There are also more than enough convenient stores surrounding the hotel for one to access daily necessities. Staff is awesome and basic necessities are cleanliness are there. Thumbs up.

• Meg from Australia (9/10)

  Really convenient location close to subway and above AK Plaza. Clean and comfortable rooms – the beds were especially comfortable with 2 pillows provided – one soft and the other firm. Breakfast was included which was a generous breakfast buffet with hot and cold food and both Asian and Western options. There was also a communal coin laundry with washers and dryers and ironing facilities which was really useful for us. Staff were lovely too. We really enjoyed our stay here.
