SUITE Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name SUITE, I thought it was going to be one of those pretentious places that tries too hard. Boy, was I wrong. This 3-star gem actually delivers on what its name promises, and I mean that in the best possible way. The moment you walk in, you get this feeling that someone really thought about what travelers actually want, not just what looks good in photos.

What struck me most was how they’ve managed to create this sense of space and comfort without all the unnecessary frills. The suites (and yes, they’re proper suites, not just regular rooms with a fancy name) have this lived-in quality that makes you feel at home almost immediately. You know that feeling when you walk into a friend’s well-designed apartment and everything just works? That’s exactly what this is like. The staff genuinely seems to care – not in that over-the-top concierge way, but more like they actually want your stay to go smoothly. I watched them handle a mix-up at check-in once, and honestly, it was refreshing to see people just… solve problems without drama.

Here’s what really won me over though – the attention to those little things that most places completely miss. The lighting actually works for reading (revolutionary, I know), there’s proper counter space in the bathroom, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t mysteriously disappear every few hours. The soundproofing is solid too, which matters more than you’d think. I’ve stayed in plenty of places where you hear every conversation in the hallway, but SUITE gets that privacy thing right. The 9.2 rating makes perfect sense once you experience it – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but what it does, it does really well. You’ll find yourself recommending it to friends not because it’s the most Instagram-worthy spot, but because you actually had a good time staying there. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews of SUITE

  • Nicole from Italy (10/10)

    First thing we noticed was how clean it was! Absolutely amazing, comfy and perfect for a two people stay

  • Eva from Sweden (9/10)

    Perfect location in Hongdae close to small shops and cafés away from the crowds yet also lively bars and shopping just around the corner.

    Very helpful host and a comfortable stay!

  • Antonia from Germany (9/10)

    The room was bigger than expected. It has everything you would need for a long stay (big bed, refrigerator, microwave, kitchen stuff, etc.).
    Also a washing machine and space for washed clothes on own balcony.
    It is right at Exit 7 of the metro, so no longs walks, especially with luggage.
    Bonus: bed sheets matched colour of the curtains.
