    “L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE - A Fantastic Stay in the Heart of Hongdae!”

    My stay at L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE was absolutely delightful, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone visiting Seoul. The location is truly unbeatable. Situated right in the vibrant Hongdae district, it's just a stone's throw away from the train station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The area itself is a treasure trove of amazing food places to explore, ensuring you'll never run out of delicious dining options. Plus, the lively atmosphere means you're often treated to captivating performances by talented students just around the corner – a wonderful bonus! Beyond the prime location, the hotel itself truly shines. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the service was consistently excellent from check-in to check-out. It felt like everything you could possibly need was readily available, making for a comfortable and hassle-free experience. I had such a positive experience that I will definitely be coming back to L7 HONGDAE on my next visit to Seoul. A perfect choice for convenience, comfort, and immersion in the local culture!

    “L7 Hongdae by Lotte”

    I recently stayed at the L7 Hotel near Hongdae, and overall, it was a great experience. The hotel seem new and location is one of its biggest highlights—situated just a short walk (about 100 meters) from the metro station, and right next to the bustling Hongdae shopping street. It’s incredibly convenient for exploring local malls, cafes, restaurants, and nightlife in the area. The hotel itself is modern and well-maintained, offering a comfortable base for travelers. However, one point to note—as is common with many hotels in Korea—basic amenities like toothbrushes and toothpaste are not provided. While this may be standard locally, it can be inconvenient for international guests. It would be a nice improvement if the hotel could consider offering these essentials to make the stay even smoother for travelers. Overall, I’d recommend L7 Hotel for its strategic location and comfortable accommodations, with just a small note to future guests to bring along their own dental care items.

    “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

    “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.
