Holiday Inn Express SEOUL HONGDAE, an IHG Hotel

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

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

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

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

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

Very good, just above the airport train, convenient!

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.

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!
