    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!

    “Nothing special.”

    After staying a few times in L7 Myeongdong, I decided to change to L7 Hongdae but the hotel did not impress me except the location. The staff was not as friendly and helpful. I stayed 5 nights with my teenage daughter. Upon check out, I requested front desk to store my luggage for a few hrs before my flight. To my surprise, they asked me to go to this locker room to key in for a locker with a pass code. N I was supposed to store my 3 luggage in some metal locker on the upper tier as the lower tier lockers were all occupied. I was shocked to know that I hv to lift my 20kg luggage up above a 1 m ht for storage and decided to ask for help . But the front desk staff gestured that she cannot help and then decided to bring my luggage to another storage room near front desk. Which is usually the case for most hotels. Till today I still cannot forget the incident. I am puzzled why the hotel provided 2 tier metal lockers for hotel guests to store heavy n big luggage. I paid for 5 nights of accommodation and still hv to lift my luggage up without help? I have spine issues and I believe many guests even without health conditions will have problems lifting heavy luggage above 1m fr ground level. I seriously think the hotel shld relook at this arrangement and only allow guests with small manageable luggage to use these metal lockers if space is a constraint. Do also consider that the staff may get injured one day for helping the guests with luggage storage. So I understand why the ladies refused to help me to protect themselves.

    “Good hotel in good location”

    What I like about the hotel is it's location. Bustling at night and plenty of food places around. The hotel is clean and hotel provide some disposable consumables (room slippers, comb, shower cap and cotton buds) but excluding toothpaste and toothbrush. There is a vending machine in L21 which you can also purchase the other disposables if required. The hotel is quite strict in the name of the person registered so just be sure the name indicated in agoda as the lead guest appears in your passport. I had issues with my booking and luckily agoda helped to resolve and I managed to check in successfully. The room TV airs only local channels but no big deal as most times we were out. Hotel was accommodative to request for multiple rooms to be close together. There are washing machines available for diy laundry. There is also a free gym in this hotel for some workout. Overall it's a good hotel and I had a good stay. Would recommend.
