Guest reviews
It is in the perfect location directly above Hongik University station. It is above AK Plaza mall which is so nice when buying souvenirs. There is a CU on the first floor as well and it was always well stocked. Red Road was not far at all. There are a ton of coffee spots within a very short distance.

There was nothing that I did not like. The view was spectacular. I could see Namsan Tower from my room. The room smelled very good. It was extremely clean.
Located metro station, the rooms were spotlessly clean; I really appreciated the staff’s friendliness and helpfulness. The quality of the bed linen and the pillows.
