After a 26-day budget trip through South Korea, I decided my final stay would be a high-end experience—four nights in Hongdae. Choosing the 9 Brick Hotel was the best decision I made. The hotel is exactly my style: industrial elegance at its finest. The professional staff goes above and beyond. Our room was the Deluxe model, and all I can say is WOW! The bed, pillows, and comforter felt like sleeping on a cloud. After so many days of traveling, I finally had a solid, quiet rest. The room was spotless—so clean that even the smell felt fresh, if that makes sense. The shower had excellent pressure and plenty of space, and the furniture and décor were beautifully selected and perfectly balanced. Everything you could possibly need in a hotel was provided. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the Hongdae shopping area—another WOW! Everything is within walking distance. Breakfast was delicious and very affordable, and the dining area felt gorgeous and romantic. A wonderful stay overall, and I highly recommend it. By the way… check-out is at 12 noon. Very nice!

Generally, the property looks good but the level we were staying, the corridor carpet seems to have stains. So not sure it is been there for awhile. The room main door stopper at the bottom seems to out of service which i cannot use it and depends on the door chain inside the room.

It’s a great hotel in a very fun and popular part of Seoul. Restaurants, bars, stores/shopping are everywhere! You want Korean fried chicken, ginseng chicken soup or Korean bbq? It’s around the corner? Want a great wine bar? Wine O Clock is a mere 5-7 minute walk away. And so much more by way of food and drink in every direction. Shopping galore is up and down the streets. 9 Brick Hotel is a great and comfortable hotel with nice rooms and in a wonderful part of Seoul! Enjoy!

Stayed for a week here. The staff were amazing so kind and helpful, the room was MASSIVE! The bathroom was huge too, and it was very clean and tidy. It is under 2 min from red road ( shopping / food/ bars / clubs / activities) and 5min walk between to station. Couldn’t recommend it enough, it was amazing room and location
