This was a fine hotel for walkability to transport. It was clean and staff were friendly . HOWEVER room 1618 has the worst sewage smell you can imagine. We called them 3 times and each time it was attended to promptly but the smell would come back through in the middle of the night and fill the whole room. Very unacceptable. It was nauseating and unpleasant for our 4 night stay at $AUD 1068.00

My family stayed in Holiday Inn Express In Hongdae Area, Korea on Jan 2—Jan 3, 2025. When trying to check in our flight of Asiana from Seoul to San Franscisco, we encountered some problems, so we asked the front desk staff to help us make the phone call to the airline company. It was 5:30pm and the phone line was busy for an hour, but the staff patiently used his own cell phone to call and was on hold for one hour without complaining. The airline operator finally picked up the phone and answered questions in Korean language which the hotel staff communicated without any issues. We were greatly appreciative of his kindness and patience as we traveled in this busy time of the year. We will definitely come back to stay when we visit Korea again.

Great location

Modern business hotel, popular with tourists. The location is fantastic right next to Hongdae station. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is fine, but can get very crowded at certain timings. Easy access to HOngdae street for entertainment and food.

The hotel was central to the Hongdae area, the amenities were in walking distance, close to bus stops, train stations, coffee shops dining options. It was difficult to locate at first as it is in a complex and no obvious signage form the way we entered. Inside the interior was really clean and modern. The room was spacious, The staff were helpful they helped us to get a taxi to Incheon which was seamless.

Lousy lift but good rooms

The lift lobby system is horrible, need to stagger checkout timing instead of everyone at same time.. only 3 lifts going up and down, with lobby in middle of the building.. smart people can imagine it will lead to overcrowded.
