The breakfast is totally disaster! Almost all food is served cold, very less options, coffee is just a coloured water. The breakfast should close at 10:00am but no refill at 9:30am so you look at the counter just like food waste. I stay for 4 night, try 2nd morning and we decided to give up. The Breaksat was charge at special 19,x00w per person and we waste that. Hotel location is good, stay there is fine but DON‘T book and pay extra for the breakfast!

The staff were exceptionally helpful and generous—better than some five-star hotels we’ve stayed at. We were upgraded and accommodated in three adjoining rooms, which was impressive given it’s a medium-scale hotel and not an easy arrangement to make. The housekeeping team noticed we frequently used the in-room coffee and water, and kindly replenished extra without being asked. We usually ask for an extra tissue box for the bathroom. The housekeepers were thoughtful enough to refill it for us proactively. The concierge and receptionist were equally considerate—helping with our luggage, calling taxis, and even handing us umbrellas and bottled water so we could head out and enjoy the day.

Disliked: Amenities
Pros: Amazing location, rooms were clean, AC worked well. Lobby was pretty. Cons: Rooms felt very small due to the layout. Most of the square footage was in an unused part of the room by the window, so you’re constantly squeezing past your partner to move around the room. Breakfast buffet was worth going to; poor variety and low quality offerings. You have to take two elevators to get to your room (one up to the lobby, then another to the rooms), which got a little annoying when elevator traffic was high.

Had a week-long stay at this hotel, and was extremely satisfied with the location, check in process, and staff assistance. Those that love shopping around Hongdae will appreciate staying here too! Since it's so close to both the subway and bus lines, we had no problem traveling around. Only downside for the room is that it doesn't seem like the AC gets very cold, which may be troublesome during hot summer days. Other than that, the staff also helped book a taxi for us to go back to Incheon airport after checking out:) Thank you Mercure staff!
