To celebrate our anniversary and reward ourselves for all the hard work we put into planning our wedding, we decided on a staycation instead of traveling. While we considered booking a fancier, more expensive hotel, we ultimately chose L7 Hotel (Hongdae, Seoul), a special place for us.

As part of their commitment to reducing single-use items, L7 Hongdae does not provide toothbrushes or toothpaste, which was clearly stated on their website.

L7 Hongdae is a stylish 4-star hotel located in one of Seoul’s trendiest neighborhoods. Popular spots like Yeonnam-dong and Gyeongui Line Forest Park are just a short walk away, making it an ideal location for a staycation.

The hotel is also easily accessible, just a five-minute walk from Exit 1 of Hongik University Station.

The hotel entrance features an industrial-style design, with an elevator that takes guests directly to the 21st-floor lobby.

 

Lobby 

Since the lobby is on a high floor, it offers an expansive view of Hongdae. With Hongdae’s popularity among international visitors, the hotel had a noticeable number of foreign guests.

One noticeable change since my last visit was the tablet check-in system, likely introduced due to high weekend traffic.

The check-in process took less than five minutes, and I was given a small receipt-like paper with details on hotel amenities.

​

Other amenities

L7 Hongdae welcomes many international travelers, so they even have a currency exchange machine in the lobby, an added convenience for foreign guests.

On the same 21st floor as the lobby, there is an Italian bistro called The Place. The Lotte Hotel app offers a room-and-bistro-meal package, but since we had other dining plans, we opted out.

Just outside The Place, there's a Maxibar vending machine that sells toiletries, drinks, and snacks, including toothbrushes and toothpaste, which are not provided in the rooms.

Room #2006

Our room was located on the 20th floor, the highest floor of the hotel. Initially, I was concerned about noise since it was right next to the elevator, but thanks to the sturdy door and good soundproofing, it wasn’t an issue at all.

Beneath the coffee station, there was a mini-fridge (without a freezer) and a safe. Inside the fridge were two complimentary bottles of mineral water.

The bedding was soft and plush, allowing for a good night’s sleep. Two pillows of different heights were provided, catering to personal preferences.

L7 Hongdae is committed to reducing waste, so only essentials like towels, hand wash, and moisturizer were provided, no disposable toiletries. However, they still provided a powerful hairdryer and both standard and king-sized towels.

Instead of a bathtub, the bathroom featured a walk-in shower equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

L7 Hongdae also had a simple breakfast package promotion, but we didn’t opt for it this time.

Overall, L7 Hongdae is a well-located, stylish hotel with excellent service, perfect for a staycation in the heart of Hongdae. The convenience of nearby attractions, good room amenities, and comfortable bedding made for a great experience.
