Room size is not big but good enough for 1-2 people and for 1 luggage (opened). Location is excellent. Eating, shopping is just nearby. Absolutely I will stay here again for my next KR trip.

We booked the Superior Room with multiple beds. It’s perfect for a family of 3 or 4 with small kids. Room was spacious and hotel is conveniently located in Hongdae. There’s lots of shopping and food options to choose from. It’s close to public transportation or taxi/rideshare pickup. Friendly staff and had no issues communicating with guests. Hotel was clean. Elevator took a little while during busy times because it’s small. Will stay again.
