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.

Nice hotel
Solid, clean hotel in the perfect location for exploring Hongdae! "Inner view" might be hard for a longer stay. Buffet breakfast included, food is pretty good.

Wheelchair accessible room should have a table for laptop use. The position of the bed should not face the door directly.

Pro: Location was great for a first time visitor. Easy access on the airport line and in the heart of the Homgdae area for shopping, Korean BBQ and night life. Breakfast was better when expected.
Con: room was small which would be ok if there were enough storage and outlets. No outlets in the bathroom to plug in a night light and the bathroom and shower doors were frosted glass so super bright when used in middle of the night.
It was nice to have an individual ac unit but due to size of room and positioning of the ac, the air is blowing on you all night no matter how you try to position the flow. The room was clean but had a musty smell. We needed the socket that the air freshener was plugged into so didn’t use it but also the first time I’ve seen a plug in air freshener in hotel.
The elevator was painfully slow.
