"Staff, location and value for money. As long as you know what you book this is a perfect place to stay in Seoul. It’s more like an upgrade hostel than a hotel without the young party stuff. The rooms are small but nice. The staffs are really helpful and nice people. We had been on a long summer holiday around Asia and this was our last stay and hotel. We knew it wasn’t really a hotel and got positive surprised of how chill it was to stay here. Again, a little small for tow adults and two big...

Top Modern Design Museum Hotel Reviews

Amanti Hotel Seoul Hongdae

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms and great staff. Breakfast had nice options. The staff help us to recover some loss item from one place we visited out of town. The hotel is very quiet and beds are very comfortable."

SR Compact Hotel Sinchon

8/10 Good

"It was hard to find with google maps (of course this isn't the hotel's fault it's just how it is in Korea), so make sure you have naver installed when you arrive to make navigation easier. The lack of a physical front desk was inconvenient at times, such as when I first arrived and the room wifi, tv, etc weren't working; but overall the staff were helpful and hardworking so in the end it wasn't too much of an issue. There was only one washer and one drier for laundry so sometimes had to wait, but they worked well and were free. The location is very close to the metro station which was convenient. All necessities (groceries, pharmacy, convenience stores, cafes/restaurants, etc) are plentiful within walking distance."

KOZAYO Hongdae Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great, especially when my flight got cancelled and needed to book 2 more nights. The rooms are small and separated by curtains, but it is very quiet, clean, and cozy. The breakfast is simple but good! The hostel is right in the center of Hongdae so you can step out the front door and go wherever you like! I had an amazing time here. Thank you KAZAYO for making my first trip to Korea memorable <3."

L3 Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Nil"

The Central Hongdae

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal location. The room was perfect for two. There was free laundry service and good amount of grab and go breakfast. Enjoyed the stay."

Holiday Inn Express Seoul Hongdae by IHG

8/10 Good

"The property was located near a residential area and was close to the metro including the airport line. There were cozy restaurants nearby. However, it was priced the same as another place which is in the heart of the city and better located and has better amenities such as conferencing. Hotels in Korea should also clearly state that they dont provide toiletries becuase they are forbidden by law to provide single use plastic items because we now presume that they would be provided. I had to buy these items on my first night in Korea which was a bit annoying though i found them at a store nearby."

K-Grand Hostel Sinchon

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing Experience! Room was very clean and the area was great!"

Seoul Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience! Helpful and kind staff!"

Anook Hotel Hongdae

10/10 Excellent

"The place was really close to all that Hongdae area offers. It was very close to public transportation, but I ended up just sticking around the hotel. Han River Park was like a 25 minute walk or so from the hotel. There are so many cafes nearby, and the Hongdae shopping area is like a 10 minute walk or so. The space was clean, compact, and convenient. Amenities were good as well !"
