Find 4-Star Hotels in Seoul

The hotel was very clean. It's right above Hongdae's walking street, and the soundproofing was good – not noisy at all. The guests were a mix of foreigners, Chinese, and Southeast Asians. The only downside was the room size; my 26-inch suitcase couldn't open fully, but a 22-inch one would be fine. We had to fully open one suitcase and half-open the other in the wardrobe area near the door. Then, at 12:17 PM, before we even went downstairs to check out, the front desk called and said, 'You need come down right now!' So, we rushed downstairs. As for smoking, during the day, there were many young people gathered at the intersection near the hotel entrance, so we joined them. At night, you could just smoke freely in front of the hotel – no one bothered you.

Located in the bustling Myeongdong area, but you'll have to walk a few hundred meters to catch a taxi. Other than that, everything was pretty good. The outlets support Korean, Japanese, and Chinese plugs, so charging laptops and phones was no problem. The hotel has a more Japanese feel. For business trips, I still have to bring a converter since the company only uses Korean outlets.

I want to recommend Holiday Inn Express Hongdae to everyone after my stay! ✨ 📍 Unbeatable Location: Right next to Hongik University Station, right above AK PLAZA with direct Airport Railroad access. Shopping and nightlife are literally right at your doorstep. 🛏️ Standard Two Double Beds Room: The beds are super comfortable! Just the right firmness—the kind where you can naturally sleep in. Two queen/double beds mean zero disturbance from your travel companion. 🧼 Spotless Cleanliness: The room was immaculate, the bathroom was dry, and coming back every day felt like returning to a cozy, pristine haven. Great shopping + nightlife + good sleep—definitely the top choice in Hongdae!~

The room size was just right, not too big, not too small, and it had a balcony with a great view for watching the sunrise – absolutely stunning! I’ve uploaded pictures of the view at different times of the day for everyone’s reference. The transportation is incredibly convenient; there are several subway lines right downstairs to choose from, and as soon as you step out, there are all sorts of dining options. The mall is also right downstairs, making it super easy to buy anything you need! Most importantly, I love to run, and this hotel is very close to Cheonggyecheon Stream, which is a dream come true for running enthusiasts! It's a 5km one-way run, making it 10km round trip! Fantastic! The hotel breakfast was also a highlight; the fried chicken, noodles, and mixed salads were absolutely delicious! Plus, the front desk staff were very friendly. When we arrived, there was even a guide who spoke Chinese, which was very nice! I'll definitely choose this place again next time! Unforgettable Seoul, you brought me endless surprises!

Decided to come to Korea a week before National Day at the last minute, so the price was a bit high. The location is definitely in the heart of Myeongdong. There are many restaurants downstairs, making dining very convenient. They even provided face masks in the room. However, the room was really small; I don't think it was the advertised 22 square meters, so manage your expectations. Check-in was semi-self-service, which wasn't a great experience. The light and air conditioning control panel behind the bed stayed lit all night, and I'm quite sensitive to light. Also, remember to cover the small clock above the bed before sleeping, as it gets very bright at night. The photos are consistent with what other travelers have posted.

Location: The hotel boasts an excellent location, nestled between Myeongdong and Dongdaemun, both within a 20-minute walk. Right outside the hotel is the 6015 airport bus stop, and Euljiro 4-ga subway station is just a 300-meter walk away, with Chungmuro subway station about 800 meters. Public transport access is incredibly convenient. Ambiance: The hotel occupies a standalone building. The front desk is on the second floor, where guests can self-check-in and store their luggage. Guest rooms are located on the floors above. I booked a single room, which was quite small; opening a large suitcase practically filled the available space. Basic amenities in the room were comprehensive, including two universal power outlets, so no adapter was needed. The air conditioning worked well. Cleanliness: Both the sink and the restroom were very clean.

PROs: The lovely view of Namsan Tower from our balcony. The small but efficient bathroom with good bath products, the room is overall new. The very large and well equipped gym is excellent. The 21 floor roof top is a lovely oasis with a view to Namsan Tower good for guests who do not have this view from their own room. CONs: There is no food around this location except for convenience shops and a few coffee shops, you need to walk a couple of blocks before you find decent food. The hotel is new and located next to Sewoon Plaza the old industrial complex where they filmed Vincenzo the K drama. It is a good 25 mins walk to Myeongdong. The entire area is up for teardown redevelopment so that’s why the balconies are so dusty as per previous review. In a few years, this location should be very nice but this large hotel apartments will also lose it’s view of the Namsan Tower. The aircon in the room is also placed blowing right onto the sleeping guest, the aircon system is hard to adjust correctly. The room cleaning is also a little haphazard as some days they forget to replenish coffee packs or a bottle of water, they also do not wash the plates or cups when they make up your room. Bedding is only changed every 2 days which is ok. The room is long and narrow and there is nowhere to sit but on the floor when one puts on their shoes at the room entrance. The hotel reception is forever packed with guests checking in or out so well done to their sales and marketing team who sell their rooms so well.

It’s pretty average and quite dusty but convenient enough. The room is well decorated and very smart. Location is closed to SUBWAY and buses. Its a air b&b so service is not there. I bought them many things in the room too haha very good luck for the next customers.

Located in Seoul, this hotel is perfect for business trips. The Gangnam city center location is incredibly convenient, and the service is excellent. The room layout is well-designed, and the cleanliness is perfectly fine. Plus, the breakfast spread is fantastic!

The room was generally clean and tidy. The front desk staff spoke Chinese, and everyone was very polite. The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from the nearest metro station. Also, this hotel doesn't use key cards; you have to enter a code for the elevator and to get into your room.
