Overall Ratings & Reviews Holiday Inn Express SEOUL HONGDAE by IHG, an IHG Hotel

Hotel is located in Hongdae area next to Hongik unv. subway station (Exit 4). Below the hotel is a shopping center, restaurant, and convenience store.

The hotel location is great but the room is so small and We booked family (3persons) room but at the hotel they said that it was only for 2 (even though the room had a double bed and 1 single bed) so we had to pay extra for the 3rd person. It was so strange and we argued. Then because of that we got breakfast coupons for 2 persons and the day after we could get 3 breakfast coupons (but we could only use 2 coupons because the coupons were switched, wrong date 😂). The room we stayed at was to small for a family room, there is no wardrobe and we could barely move freely in the room. For us it was not worth the price as this hotel is very expensive. We don't think that we will stay at this hotel again with such expensive price for small room.

Excellent Location. Easy assessible to Hongdae Metro station. Hotel room is clean and neat. Daily Breakfast provided. Selection not a lot though.

Very good, just above the airport train, convenient!

The room I stayed can't see the outside view at all. The window facing inward of building can see the corridors and walls only.

The room size was okay. The staff were helpful, and the best part of this hotel is the location!

Good location, nice room and building. The staff also very helpful.

Good location. Specious bathroom for wheelchair accessible. Just 10 walking step to MTR elevator assess.

Holiday Inn Express Hongdae is well known for its amazing location, right above Hongik University subway exit no 5 & ak plaza (which is worth at least a walk through with many interesting stores like SPAO, CU minimart, several boutiques and also a tax refund kiosk on the ground floor. Because of that, the hotel is extremely popular and busy with tourists both overseas and locals alike. Despite the many front office counters and staff, I find it a bit too busy for my utmost liking. Also bit of wait to go up to the rooms with only 3 elevators to accommodate all guests. However extra points for them to provide complimentary breakfast which is quite comprehensive with Western dishes as well as Korean and Asian like mapo tofu + frice. Cereals, fresh fruit are included also. Room facilities were good, water pressure also great. Appreciate the soft & firm pillow choices but missing bath robes. Also I feel could do better with room noise proofing as could hear voices from adjacent room especially doors slamming late at nights.

ที่พักโลเคชั่นดีมาก ใกล้ subway ทางออก5 วิวดีเห็นฮงแดในมุมสูงด้วย

The bedroom is comfortable, small, compact, typical of the school. In big cities, beds are soft.

I do love this hotel. Very clean, cozy & close to the most crowded street at Hongdae. There are many stores in its lower floors. Do recommend!

Best location! It’s located at center of Hongdae. The building is attached with department store which provide all things you need. The subway station, bus stop is just in front of hotel. Room is clean, cozy and comfortable. Thank you for offering me an early check-in due to the available room. I really had a great time here and surely back here for my next visiting Seoul.

The location is very close to Hongik univ station. Exit station. 5. really recommended. If there is a chance want to stay again here

great location and service...breakfast also aware some...

Strategic location, clean rooms, a large and tasty breakfast menu. The most important thing is that you can ride the airport arex directly without lifting your suitcase, there is an escalator.

Good service, close to the station, very near the shopping area. Arrive at the same train from Incheon Airport. The room size is good.

this hotel is so good!!! near subway hongink uni. exit 5 just 1min from station. nearby shopping street and also minimart inside (next building but connecting) for the room, It’s bigger than I expected. I requested 2 single beds and I got it (never got a special requested in promotion price)
