My stay at Hongdae Lailai House was quite enjoyable. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from Hongdae Station and surrounded by vibrant shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and comfortable, although I did miss having towels provided. The service from the staff was helpful, even if I didn't get to meet them much during my visit.
