“This is a lifestyle hotel with a rooftop pool that undeniably steals the show, granting views that stretch across the city. Near Hongdae's electric streets and music venues, it also wins points for its polished rooms and the team's seamless English. I particularly appreciate the modern Italian bistro; brick-oven pizza after a day exploring Seoul sounds perfect.”

convenient locationcomplimentary storagecomfortable bed

The subway station was a short walk away! This provided direct access to the airport. Shops and restaurants across the road made dining easy. Complimentary luggage storage after checkout was very useful. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean, with a decent size.

The hotel was a bit pricey. I found the pool access fee for in-house guests unacceptable.
