I liked the location. Airport limusine in front of the hotel for 18000 won. one washing machine and one dryer ...

The room was great as was the location for what I needed. No possible early check in and the breakfast were disappointing.

L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE HOTELS
The rooms were always cleaned perfectly and waters restocked each day, AC was easy to use and staff were friendly. Only issue is the 3 lifts for so many floors, makes it take a while to go up or down during peak hours.
