"Ideally situated near the subway, with excellent airport limousine stops, the hotel is clean and convenient. There are copious amounts of eateries and the nearby side streets were my fave! Lively in a real lived in way vs the tourist hustle and bustle of Hongdae et al. It's 20 minutes or so to Hongdae, so not too considering the location."
