    Stayed 3 nights in January 2024

    “Convenient, pleasant stay ”

    Stayed for 3 nights in early Jan 2024. Highly recommend! We aimed to find a well-rated hotel with convenient location and L7 was the best choice for us. It is around a 3 minutes walk from Hongdae Metro Stn Exit 1(with escalators, though they are a bit narrow) and Hongdae Bus Stn, so it was easy to transport to places. Direct transfer between Hongdae Stn and Incheon Airport by AREX available. Price was slightly higher than average for Seoul, but was reasonable since this was a standard 4-star hotel. The concierge was very helpful and spoke very fluent English, so there was no language barrier. Staff upgraded us to a room on the higher level where the street view was amazing. The concierge also helped us to store our luggage after our check-out till night. Concierge told us there was a construction going on nearby so there would be some noise at night, however we did not hear any noise. Sound insulation was quite good too. They provide earbuds if needed at the counter. The cleaning staff was friendly too. They provided us with extra towels and complimentary bottled water, despite us stating no need for room service. They do provide bottled water every night, but there is a water and ice machine at every floor so you can refill water. There are a few laundry machines and dryers at the 5th floor next to the gym, so for those staying longer, you can wash your clothes. Cash only but they provide an exchange machine to change to 500 won coins. For tourists, there is a machine to purchase and top up their travel card and exchange money at the concierge. The rates are quite good. Very convenient if you want to go shopping anytime. The room was well furnished. All the furniture looked well preserved though this hotel has been operating for some years. It’s not very spacious, but me and my friend could open two big suitcases simultaneously and still had some space left. Bed was very comfortable and curtains efficiently blocked out light. The only downsides were that the waiting for the lift was a bit long. Note that L7 Hongdae does not provide disposable amenities and personal hygiene products, but some of them could be purchased at the concierge counter. Understandable because they want to be eco-friendly, so if you need personal hygiene products, I recommend purchasing them at a convenience store nearby. Overall, I highly recommend L7 Hongdae to those who are coming to Seoul. If I visit Seoul again, L7 Hongdae will definitely be my choice again!

    “Great Stay with minor issue”

    The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the area, while the cleanliness and facilities are top-notch, ensuring a comfortable stay. The stagf were friendly and attentive. Sleep quality was good and the hot water was reliable, though the room size could have been slightly more spacious for comfort. Wi-Di worked well throughout, providing a seamless connection during the visit.

    “Great stay!”

    Stayed here our last two nights in Seoul. Loved the location, comfortable bed, and welcome drinks/snacks. Wish I had known there would be an extra charge for the pool. It was also louder than I would have liked-- could hear noise from outside (despite being on a high floor) as well as noise from guests in other rooms (people coming and going, a crying baby, etc).

    “Good location but small space”

    Hotel is located at Hongdae area, walking distance from Hongik University station. Good location. However, space in the room is limited. The bed is placed on platform hence it feels very low and close to ground. And the bed feels very near to the basin area. The area to place luggage is only below TV and the table provided is small. Not much space to sit and eat. Room is dusty, could see dust on the walls and for the basin, the silicon has mould on it. The room service did not clean the basin too. They replaced bedroom slippers, towels, vacuum floor, and tidied the bed. Coffee sachets were not topped up daily (might be dependent on who’s the cleaning person on duty that day). When asked if there’s other rooms to upgrade to, they only have Suite room available on certain dates and the cost to top-up is a lot more compared to the online prices (called it as ‘walk-in’ price). Would recommend if you want a good location and not fussy about space and cleanliness.

    “Extremely love this place ”

    I book this hotel very last minute.. literally less than 2 hours before checking-in to the hotel. Although the price was high due to last min booking.. but the location is good. Everything is just few mins walk.. There were a lot of people staying in the hotel going in and out but it doesn’t affect us at all, the soundproof of the room was okay and the waiting time of the lift was not long as well. The check in process was fast and there were some snacks and welcome drinks given to us. Even though the room is not big but it’s sufficient for us with two big luggage. Room was clean and Bathroom was good, no toothbrushes but it doesn’t affect us cox we have prepared the toiletries. Nothing to complaint! Will definitely come back again to L7
