Had a great stay at the Holiday Inn IHG in Hongdae! The location was perfect—right in the middle of all the fun spots, shops, and restaurants. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet considering how lively the area is. Staff were friendly and super helpful, and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Overall, an easy, convenient, and comfortable place to stay in Hongdae. Would definitely come back!
