Great choice at Hongdae”

Convinient location of the hotel right next to airport railway station exit as well as shopping malls. Hongdae is a district with a lot of shops, restaurants around while Holiday inn express is located at a less crowded area. My flight arrived in the early morning and staff waa very nice n helpful to provide option of early check in with additional Payment( fairly priced). My room is very clean with nice view, spacious. Breakfast was included while it was very crowded on a Sunday morning. Grab & go service is available which saved us a lot of time in queuing up.

PERFECT LOCATION FOR COUPLES”

I was extremely blown away by my stay at the Holiday Inn Express, this is a newly built hotel, so all facilities are still new and well kept. The hongik station is literally right next door, and it’s also connected to a mall with lots of dining options. Hongdae is an awesome location with a fun vibe for couples to enjoy. There are endless shopping and places to eat. I cannot rave enough about this hotel!!

Excellent”

Good experience to stay in Holiday Inn Express Hongdae, great location and easy access to metro or all the attractions. The quality of free breakfast is fair but still good enough. Will definitely live here again next time if we visit Seoul again.

Value for Money - I love this hotel! ”

I absolutely loved this hotel! I think it’s great value for money! 1) The location is great. The nearest station is Hongdae, which is an interchange where quite a few lines crossed. It is also a station on the Airport line so it is convenient to get to and from the airport. Hongdae exits 5 and 7 open to the mall or opposite the hotel and the path to the hotel is sheltered most of the way. The hotel has an attached mall with convenience stores, shops for shopping and restaurants for eating on days you feel tired and don’t want to venture too far. There are some amazing eateries nearby too! The hotel is also a 10 mins’ walk from Hongdae Exit 9 which is where many shops and eateries are at and where the busking is held. I couldn’t ask for a hotel with a better location. 2) The hotel breakfast is really delicious! There might not be a huge variety of food but the spread is adequate. And all the food taste delicious - my favourites are the scrambled eggs, sausages and fried rice! I also love that they have a rotation of fruits every day - kiwi, pineapple, orange, grapes, lychee are some of the ones I have seen. 3) The rooms are amazingly comfortable and clean. The beds are really comfortable and the hotel thoughtfully provides a soft and firm pillow so you can pick one which suits your preference! The room also has sufficient space and is not too cramped. One thing though, the bathroom only has one door that could be used between the shower and the sink area or between the sink area and the outside area. What this means is that when you put the door between the sink area and the outside area, there’s no door between the shower area and the sink area so the water will splashed out to the sink area when you bathe. The bathroom mat provided by the hotel does not really absorb the water. 4) The WiFi is fast and I have no issues with it. 5) The hotel staff are really polite and prompt in acting on our requests or our questions. We had a question about our room and the

Love the location, super convenience when moving with luggages. Exit 5 at train station for Arex line, this exit has escalator that’s very convenient with luggages. Only walk 30 seconds to arrive hotel entrance. There are CU and 7-11 within 1 min walk. Walk to Hongdae shopping area within 5 mins. Can’t find anything that beats Holiday Express Hongdae!

BEST HOTEL IN HONGDAE! ”

Firstly, the location, this hotel is right smack in the middle of the most happening eateries, bars, and shopping street. Everything that you would need is within walking distance. Because it is situated in Hongdae university area, all the restraints, eateries, shops are plenty and cheap if not very reasonable in price. The famous Stone BBQ place is just less than 2 mins walk from the hotel. The subway, Hongik Univ Station, is just right next to the hotel. You come out, turn left and WALA, exit no.5. Getting from ICN airport to the hotel takes just 50mins and a direct train is available (AREX ALL STOP, and cheaper too). Most of the tours we booked, the pick-up point was just next to this hotel. How convenient! Room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All my request were met promptly. Breakfast was decent and just right to fuel you each morning. Honestly, the best hotel in Hongdae and I will definitely return with no hesitation!

Great location at Hongdae”

Great location at hongdae. Take about 50 mins by all-stop airport train to hongdae and the hotel is just next to exit 4 or 5. Lots of shops and restaurants around that area. Room is clean, but it’s central heating, boiling hot in the room with the heater on. It’s express hotel, not much service they provided. Free breakfast with varieties.

Great Location”

I stayed at Holiday Inn Hongdae for 6 nights and it was great. It's in a very convenient location, connected to a mall, near restaurants, few blocks away from nightlife and directly in front of the subway station. Hotel is clean and staff is very friendly.

Nice hotel”

Location- 5/5 (just about a 2-minute walk to the main streets of Hongdae, there is a mall on the first 5 floors and a convenience store right below and across) Breakfast- 4/5 (not much options but the grab and go option is nice. you can choose anything you want and have it for take away just in case you don't want to line up and wait) Room- 5/5 (rooms are big and make sure to get a room with a nice view) Price- 3/5 (it's really expensive during the Holiday season) Staff - 5/5

1st holiday trip”

Been staying in this hotel for 2 nights, love this hotel max as the location is really great and easy to access. There is a direct train to the airport, so it's very convenient for travelers to stay there. Its also walking distance to hongdae street, its one of the best area i had stayed in korea with all the nice BBQ and shooping around this area. I would definitely stay at this hotel again when I visit seoul the next time.

New hotel at an excellent location”

Location of this hotel is perfect as it is right above airport rail station and subway station (line 2). Services are fine, per expected standard of Holiday Inn Express. The room is not big but sufficient for short stay. Breakfast is average and session ends 9.30am, which is pretty early for leisure travelers. As a result, the breakfast area is fully occupied 9.00am onward. Overall a good stay.

Good location and service”

Conveniently arrival by airport rail Hongdae station Exit 5. Two stations distance to Seoul KTX station. 5-10 mins walking distance to shopping area and well connected by metro line 2 exit 4. Breakfast is good at this room rate. Will stay next time.

Exceptional”

The hotel was located at exit 5 from AREX Hongik station. Was offered an early check-in after signing up IHG membership. Hotel staff's English were all very fluent. I was given a room at 16th fl facing Hongdae. Beds were comfortable and room size decent for 3 pax. Only issue was I could not control the temp in the room. It was too warm to sleep at night. Breakfast was not bad but please do come down earlier as the hotel had lots of guests and their dining area (already not small) could not fit in everyone.

Amazing location, wonderful staff ”

This location is a five minute walk to the very artsy and fun center of Hongdae. There is also a subway station right in front of the hotel so it’s super convenient to get anywhere you want to go. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. The staff was wonderful, they let me check in early and gave me a free upgrade! Also the train station in front of the hotel goes all the way to the airport so it’s amazingly convenient for travelers. Highly recommend this hotel!

Strategic Location ”

Like the Subway that just below the hotel and also the Mall that are connected to the hotel . Convenient shop just below the hotel easy for you to grab your snack if you hungry at mid night . The Linen bed sheet & Duvet Cover is a bit hard not comfortable that is the only things that I m not satisfy , the rest everything is excellent . Thank you Holiday Inn

It was not what I was expecting. The location only made it better! ”

The staff was upbeat and so sweet! I appreciate every one of the smiles. The room was surprisingly great, even after I was informed it didn’t have a vie. I found it to be a wonderful experience! Clean, upbeat, and overall an incredible two days for me. I have been telling my friends in Korea and in the United States to NOT MiSS THIS GEM.. I have lived in Seoul for over six years and it felt like I was I. A new city. Bravo for location and facilities. Oh, and the lovely breakfast that was just a bonus for me was quite pleasant. Thank you for making my two day getaway a true pleasure and an unforgettable moment in the magnificent city of Seoul!

Very convenient and nice stay!”

The hotel is very convenient for those who use subway for traveling. Also very convenient to travel from/to the airport; Just taking AREX and arrive at the Hongik station exit5! The hotel is just right in front of the exit 5. The room is quite new and clean. Bed is very nice and I love those comfortable pillows so much. Breakfast is okay but no much choices and a little bit crowded if you go to the dining room late. Staying here was very comfortable and convenient. Here would be one of my choices when coming back to Seoul again!

Very convenient right above Hongik Station (exit 5)”

Easy access and convenien if you travel from incheon airport using airport rail. Right above Hongik Station and Hongdae shopping street is just around the corner. Many convenient stores or restaurants around, they also serve breakfast therefore i think its worth the price for such convenient arrangement.

Hotel with strategic location”

The location is the main reason I book this hotel. They gave very good price and with compliment breakfast. Clean hotel eventhough the room is a little bit small but it is just acceptable if you look to other advantages,, Will come back to this hotel when I go to Seoul.

In the centre of Hongdae excitement area”

Hotel is new and clean, just above Hongik University subway station (Hongdae). Exit 5 just beside the hotel. Hotel also attached to the shopping mall. There’s a Daiso store just in front of the hotel. The surrounding of shopping area. 7eleven just outside hotel, also other convenience store also attached to the hotel. Easy to move around. Very strategic location.
