Near Hongik University Station Suite Room Overview

Look, I’ll be honest with you – when I first heard the name Near Hongik University Station Suite Room, I wasn’t expecting much. The name itself sounds pretty generic, right? But you know what actually surprised me? This 4-star spot in the heart of Seoul‘s university district turned out to be exactly what I needed, and I mean that in the best possible way.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to experience Seoul like the locals do. You’re literally a stone’s throw from Hongik University Station, which means you can hop on Line 2 and be anywhere in the city within 30 minutes. But here’s the thing – you don’t even need to go far because Hongdae is right there. I’m talking about one of Seoul’s most vibrant neighborhoods, where university students spill out of tiny bars at 2 AM and street food vendors are still grilling corn on the cob. The energy is infectious, and unlike some tourist areas, it feels completely authentic. You’ll hear Korean conversations everywhere, see actual students cramming for exams in 24-hour cafes, and honestly, it’s the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re really experiencing Seoul, not just visiting it.

The suite rooms themselves are surprisingly spacious – and I say surprising because Seoul hotel rooms can be, well, let’s just say compact. Mine had this great little sitting area with a proper sofa, which became my favorite spot for morning coffee while watching the neighborhood wake up below. The bathroom was modern and clean, though the shower pressure could be better (minor complaint, but worth mentioning). What I really appreciated were the little touches – decent WiFi that actually worked throughout the room, blackout curtains that made jet lag recovery possible, and air conditioning that didn’t sound like a jet engine. The 8.2 rating makes sense once you’re there; it’s not luxury, but it’s solid and comfortable with personality. Check-in was smooth, though the front desk staff’s English was limited – not a problem if you have translation apps, and honestly, part of the authentic experience. The area can get lively at night (university district, remember?), but the rooms are well-insulated enough that I never had trouble sleeping. If you’re looking for a sterile business hotel experience, this isn’t it. But if you want to wake up in the middle of Seoul’s creative energy, grab amazing Korean fried chicken at 11 PM, and still have a comfortable, clean place to crash that won’t break the bank – well, that’s exactly what you’ll get here.

Reviews of Near Hongik University Station Suite Room

  • Li from Malaysia (9/10)

    The house design is nice, located in strategic place.

  • Qun99 from Taiwan (8/10)

    地圖說6號出口,但我建議從7號出口更近些,也較熱鬧,畢竟7號出口下樓梯往前就是弘大街,整體上還不錯,因為空間也大,就是舊公寓裝修概念。
    另外因為這間真的非常不顯眼,稍為寫一下路線,希望對接下來要去住的人有幫助
    7號出口出來直走,看到左側路口轉角有一間A…開頭的coffee店(因為我忘了名稱) 左轉進去經過GS超商(左側),繼續往前不久(這間在左側2樓,看不到任何招牌)有個需要輸入密碼的玻璃門,右側是美髮店,對面是咖啡廳,就是了😅
