Happy in central vibrant busy Hongdae. For the young and young at heart. Shops, restaurants all round. Close to exit 9 Hongdae metro station (tip...look for nearby elevator don't use stairs for heavy suitcase). Mecurer was a great location to stay right in the thick of it with street entertainers. Washing and drying machines x2 were much needed. No issues with the hotel stay, rooms or service. Had all we needed. Very big king bed for good sleep. Would stay again.

Great location in Hongdae. Rooms were clean and decent sized. Only complaint is that you have to go up one elevator from the street to get to the lobby and another elevator to get to your room. Minor issue though.
