In a good location, lots of local shopping and food places. A cheap taxi ride into central Seoul or the palaces if you didn't want to challenge the trains or buses.

I’m so glad we stayed at the Mercure Ambassador hotel. It was conveniently located: close to the subway, shopping, food, and cafes! Hongdae is a very busy area, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We had an issue with our air conditioning but the staff offered a room change and free drinks to compensate. They were so friendly, and the hotel was very clean and breakfast was good. We would definitely stay again!
