Hotel right next to subway and more importantly the Airport Express train. One note on the subway, the hotel is just a few steps, literally, from the subway station, however if you want to #2 Green line you'll end up walking several hundred meters to the subway platform. But the below ground of Seoul is really cool with shopping and clean restrooms.

Good experience

The hotel is not a luxury hotel, but it provides everything a traveler needs. The location is great, as the hotel is situated just above the airport railway. It takes only 5 minutes to get from the hotel entrance to the railway platform. While there is no express train to the airport from Hongdae, the travel time on an all-stop train from Hongdae to Incheon Airport is just 10 minutes longer than taking an express train from Seoul Station, and the trains are much more frequent. The rooms are clean, and the staff, especially the cleaning lady, are nice and will try their best to address our needs.

Location is really ideal as right next to the subway exit and connected to a mall complex. The main street in Hongdae is the back of the building so it's very conveniently located. During the first night, we heard some parties outside, but the rest of the week was pretty quiet.
