The hotel is ideally positioned in Hongdae - the most trendies area of Seoul. The rooms are exceptionally good and the staff is very polite and attentive. Having Blue Bottle Coffee on the ground floor was excellent allowing you to grab your coffee in the morning and run off to whatever you have planned for the day. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Seoul.

Just be aware that it takes around an hour to get to many of the city’s main attractions.

The room is new, modern, and beautifully designed. Very comfortable!

Incredibly comfortable bed, quiet despite being in the heart of a busy area, great location close to the circle line metro and beautiful design.

At night, we could hear some of the street artists and singers from Hongdae until around 11 pm, which reflects the lively neighborhood, but we didn’t hear any noise from the nightclub above.

We stayed at RYSE, Autograph Collection by Marriott from August 25–29 and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Hongdae, with countless restaurants, cafés, shops, and nightlife just steps away. The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide range of both European and Asian dishes as well as fresh fruit. It even had a dedicated egg station. Our room was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and located on the 16th floor with a side view. A nice detail was the in-room drinking water station together with a fridge – very convenient. Overall, a stylish hotel with great service and atmosphere – we would definitely stay here again!

Location. The hotel trendy vibe. The decor, you find very well curated art pieces throughout the hotel. It’s the place to be if you want to experience the atmosphere of hongdae. It’s located right in the heart of the vibrant Hongdae neighborhood.

The room was increibly cold for my taste. No matter if you turn off air conditioning, It would always work. I put the temperature to 26 degrees when i arrived and I stayed 4 nights and it never went warmer than 23.1 degrees.

Great design.

Design, location and insonorisation of the rooms were the true differentiators. We arrived 1 hour before our check in and got our rooms directly which is great after a long haul fight. Breakfast is good (except the coffee which is a machine) but expensive.

The food and drinks were way too expensive.

The bed was comfy, people are friendly, staff is helpful, Noah or Noel the bartender was amazing, the food was delicious.

A couple of times - the towels replaced had a damp smell to them. This was fixed by asking for a fresh set to be sent up.

Very conveniently located in Hongdae. Short walk to the train station, bus stop, shops and festival street where all the action is. Great gym and good coffee below. The Edition room was very comfortable.

Saftybox would have been an add on

What a pleasant surprise! We loved the bold, modern architecture and the stylish, loft-inspired rooms. Breakfast was excellent, offering a great variety of choices. The hotel’s private cinema was a fantastic touch, and the gym was well equipped. Located in the heart of Mapo-gu, it’s perfectly situated with a fun, youthful vibe that our teens truly enjoyed

Nothing to dislike

The room was spacious and thoughtfully laid out. It had so of the amenities that you could possibly want. The hotel is in a great location and close to the subway station for convenient travel around the city. The area has plenty of restaurants, shopping, and things to do. The staff are great and to the time to help ensure our stay was enjoyable. On check in we received a bottle of wine and snacks and the express check out prices was seamless.

Windows not thick enough to block street sounds, could hear corridor sounds and neighbours banging sounds.

Nice layout of the room, good customer service.

The location is perfect, my room was extremely comfortable. The breakfast buffet was incredible with so much choice. I spent my last few days in Seoul there and would recommend it!

Stayed in June 2025

Honestly, I have no qualms. It was a most perfect stay. The only feedback I might have for the hotel is to have a limited 24/7 room service as restaurants close early in Seoul. That said the location is great and the concierge is always around to help you out in every way and give fantastic food recommendations.

The Editors room was exceptional and they upgraded us free of cost for the last few nights as we had decided to change rooms to save money. It's the perfect sized room for a family of three.

1. The buffet breakfast could have more choices and variety for the price. 2. There was loud music that could be heard around midnight on a Friday night. Was a little hard to fall asleep.

Location was great.
