I LOVE staying at the Ryse!! I’ve stayed at the Ryse 3 times now and it’s almost always my go-to whenever I visit Seoul. The staff are very professional and friendly, the rooms are nice & clean, and it is close to the train station and steps away from Hongdae, which imo is the best area to stay at (closest from airport, best late-night restaurants, though further from everything else but can train to Myeongdong, Seongsu, Gangnam easily). It is a little pricy, but for the same price point in Seoul, Ryse is the best

.

Chic, comfy, thoughtful

Comfy, chic, thoughtful. The team at RYSE were prompt with communication throughout our stay with a few things we experienced - not being sure whether the K-ETA (if you are reading this, PLEASE CHECK and save yourself the potential heartache!!!) would come on time at the airport - Katie was really nice and clear that I could check in a few days later if it came to it. Also, communicating with restaurants to ensure a lost shopping bag was found? Amazing! Room was comfy and amenities regularly replenished.

Spacious guest room. Hotel located within 3 mins walk to subway. Only drawback, they charge for shaver & toothbrushes in the room so beware. Many were caught off guard upon checking out.

Ryse is so conveniently located at Hongdae, will definitely go back.

Feels comfortable and new. Good stay overall at a good location near public transport and dining options

Beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, great view out the window and excellent bathroom with all the mod cons. The man checking us in was very kind. We enjoyed the free face masks and special touches in the room including the cosy bathrobes. We went to Blue Bottle every day which was very handy for a morning coffee. Location was excellent, everything was on the doorstep from food to shopping. We would happily stay again in this beautiful hotel. The only improvement would be to provide an information booklet in the rooms for guests on the services provided.

Blue Bottle is at level 1. Very convenient. Staff’s friendliness is average. I didn’t see anyone going out of their way for us. Our room sleeps 4 and it was perfect. Bathroom is huge. The concept of merch was very creative. The building also houses street wear brands. It was cool. Check out Hongdaematgib (casual Korean dining) which is only 3 mins walk from the back door.

Hotel in Fantastic Location in Hongdae

Hotel is in a fantastic location…. Close to shops, restaurants and Train Station… would recommend it! Only slight disappointment was that I booked the room for 2 adults and 1 child (13yo) with breakfast and was told that breakfast was only for 2 adults and that my child had to pay extra

Excellent choice for staying in Seoul

Great location with lots of eating and entertaining options and convenience of subway close by. Comfortable room. Would stay again with family.

Always a pleasure staying at RYSE. Excellent service from the team, and location is really convenient too! I’m looking forward to my next trip!

Staying at RYSE is always a treat. The best team and service. Great location, and the space is always so well maintained.

Fantastic property; nice big room with good amenities.

perfect location

Love the location. Room were big and nice

very nice stay

Very accessible and easy to get around. Bakeries and hongdae shopping street within walking distance. There is also a cafe at lvl 1 as well for easy coffee run.

Love the blue bottle in the hotel

Quieter during the weekend than other neighborhoods I've stayed in. Rooms are very lovely

Excellent hotel, located in a very good area. There are many options for eating and shopping in the surroundings. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good with many options.

i have a very nice stay

Lovely short stay

We were welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine on check in to celebrate our wedding anniversary, breakfast was an excellent spread. Though coffee was not as good as you might expect, though everything else was as you’d expect for a premium hotel without pool spa facilities.

The room was very clean. Loved window in the shower to the bedroom.LOL. Within walking distance to dining, shopping and the subway. Love the access to Blue Bottle Coffee on the first floor. Staff was very helpful in the lobby and at checkin. They were very accommodating in holding our bags for getaway to Busan. Would recommend this hotel.

Very central hotel

Overall a good experience the hotel room is a bit squashy for 4 people but shower facility is good. The staff siad it was 2 queen beds but it feels like a double bed to me. Also the wordt part is toothbrush is not complimentary and they charged us 6000 won for the 2 toothbrush. Slippers are also horribly uncomfortable.

Beautiful hotel. Clean and convenient. Will be back

Central location hotel, very convenient, good breakfast, big room size.

Our stay at the RYSE was wonderful. The property was located close to the subway from which we could access all of Seoul. I will definitely be staying there next Spring when I return.

very nice stay and always be back

Accessible to everywhere

Staff was excellent! Warm and friendly and spoke English which was a plus!!

We had the most amazing stay at Ryse. The staff were incredibly attentive and accommodated our every request. The rooms are really smartly designed and the bed was very comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring nearby Hongdae but is also right next to Hongik University station which enables easy travel to all main areas of Seoul.

Good

No air con in corridor Small rooms and small toilets

Great location

Staff and services were great. The property was close to the Yonsei university and close to several restaurants and plenty of shopping establishments

It is a perfect location, stay, and service.

Nice location and nice staff.

Quiet on the 10th floor and great staff and facilities. Area has a train stop less than two blocks away that goes to Airports GMP and Incheon. Two callouts: - It seems the thermostat doesn’t go below 68 Fahrenheit (which was totally fine for us). I may be completely wrong. - The toilet and shower we had were clear/transparent from the bedroom. Again, not an issue for us.

The breakfast buffet and the staff were amazing. We had a wonderful time.

The hotel staff made wonderful suggestions about restaurants. However, we were only allowed one room card a check in…why?! And the hotel bar is not good - closes for events, food is mediocre. The AC is weak. However, the location was great.

For check-in, have to go 3rd floor. The drop-off area is behind the hotel and taxi dropped us in the main road facing the main entrance.

The building itself was so much fun. The view in our room was expectacular! Saturday night, it got anbit noisy, young people living life I expected in the area. The cafe and the restaurant was really good as well, great service from everyone. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean space, helpful staff.

Not so bad, but not so good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect location and best interior and services.

Great hotel with airport bus, near hondgae street, downstairs CU convenience stall. Overall happy with the stay

Great

We loved staying here and will absolutely be back again! Thank you!

We loved this hotel. Since the entrance people were welcoming and it felt peaceful and clean. The room was amazing, spacious, clean, and with really good details. The breakfast was amazing, with a lot of options to choose from. Great location.

Loved how convenient this location was for accessing public transportation. It was just a short walk to the line 2 subway. Also, the service was great and the staff was always friendly. The only thing I would’ve changed is getting a room on a higher floor as it could get a bit noisy.

Amazing hotel. would stay again.

Beautiful hotel in an excellent location

Rooms weren't ready when we arrived. But they did give us a room to wait in and relax until ours was ready.

Pretty Place for stay

Have been stay in Ryse for several time. Nice location, clean and comfortable room, nice staff very helpful to reserve taxi, prepare my room early then usual check in time. Always my fav one!!

Service and hospitality was amazing. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Good breakfast, business friendly, easy walking to shops, metro, dining, clean and modern, views of city and Han River in background

Room was small for 4 people, my reservation was to accommodate 4 people but the 2nd bed was just sa sofa bed converted to a double bed. The hallways are dark due to dark carpets and grey color walls. Not enough lights.

If I could give this hotel and it’s staff 10 stars I would. The young staff were always so helpful, sweet and polite. All spoke English This place is upbeat and hip. It brought me joy just walking into the lobby which is filled with sunlight and youthful Energy. Centrally located. Convenient cafe on first floor Delicious food in the hotel restaurant especially the dinners. An easy walk to the restaurants and cafes It is one of the most comfortable joyous stays I’ve had in a hotel.

Fabulous hotel. Clean, quiet and comfortable. All the essential amenities you want in a hotel. They actually have complimentary face masks to help you relax. This modern hotel is centrally located to shopping, cafes, restaurants and spas. There are street vendors and food stalls within a 5 minute walk. The happening “Homg Dae” street is 5 minutes away. I would definitely come back and stay here.

This property is a dream. It is located in such a good area in Seoul and there is stuff to do at every corner. The staff was amazing and made me and my wife’s trip incredible.

The staff here were very helpful and the room was comfortable. The gym was also nice.

Strategic location, walking distance to famous Hongdae Street and subway station. Convenience stores, restaurants are just right behind the hotel

We had a lovely stay at RYSE. The staff were very friendly. Our room was clean and stylish. The location is also very convenient with lots of restaurants nearby and right next to Hongdae shopping street too.

Good location, clean and big room

Great

Staff were extremely helpful and very approachable! The hotel was extremely artsy and had a certain unique aspect about it. We loved our stay in Hongdae! Thank you!

The location is excellent and close to the subway station

Many dining options around the hotel. Walking distant to Hongdae street. I booked 1 night stay and came back for another 3 nights stay but the room given to me was different. I booked the same type of room but the first time they gave me a bigger room. 2nd time they gave me a smaller room. Disappointed.

A good stay for a good 4 nights.. the room is clean and well tidied up daily.. Hotel staffs are very polite and friendly. Thumbs up..

Wonderful in all aspects

Excellent location in Hongdae. So close to transit and so walkable. The main area of Hongdae is right there with so many food options and fun things to do day and night. The hotel has friendly staff, and if you choose to be more eco-friendly, they give you a nice gift as well. I was there over my birthday and they gave me a nice card and snack. The hotel is new, clean, and has a cool vibe to it. Room and bathroom were spacious with nice seating area as well. Would recommend!

RYSE is my top choice for its aesthetics and an exceptional team that goes above and beyond. From warm greetings to personalized recommendations, their dedication ensures a memorable stay. Clean, comfortable rooms complete the fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

Great hotel with lots to do close by

Modern property with comfy beds. Rooms with king size bed are more like a large double so we changed to a room with 2 doubles and it was perfect. Surrounding area has lots of bars, restaurants and shopping with easy access to the subway and bus lines. Staff were nice and accommodating.

Could be better

Good location for street shopping and late night eats . Lifts service was overworked and slow

From the moment I walked in, the staff were amazing. Check in quick and easy. Rooms are gorgeous...white light mirrors great for makeup application, shower devine, bed sooooo comfortable. The locational is viby, with street markets on Friday nights. Is definitely my new fav when work takes me to Seoul...thank you Team!! 💋

Great property in Hongdae. The room was very nice and the staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place to stay in Seoul

We are so pleased with our stay. The staff is all superb, very accommodating, on top of great customer service. English is spoken here by the concierge desk, front desk, and restaurant staff. It's a very European and American hotel. Don't miss the Breakfast Buffet, which is more of a breakfast and lunch experience. The food was excellent. Our room was big for Seoul standards. We stayed for 8 nights. Also, it's a great location 1 block from a train station. Lots of coffee shops, restaurants, convenience stores, anything you want nearby.

Nice hotel

The most satisfying stay!!!! Best location in Seoul with the most sophisticated, hip vibe. A must! The staff is amazing and super accommodating.

location

Everything was great aboutn this hotel except for the spectacularly uncomfortable pillows. The hotel provides a choice of two. One is too soft & thin and the other too hard and thick.

Small but clean. Stayed there for 10 nights and had an amazing experience. From cleaning staff, server to the front desk person, customer service was superb. Sean/Shawn, at the front desk was more than helpful the first night we checked in. I would definitely stay there again. Only complaint if I had one was our room was running hot but the staff took care of it by placing a strong fan in the room. Overall, EXCELLENT place to stay.

the rooms need a mini bar and snacks.

Near subway station, located in a lively neighborhood in Seoul, and has great rooms and views.

Very nice place to stay!

Easy to walk around & taxis were easy to get. The staff was friendly & did their best to help us with the language barrier. Which is our problem, not theirs!

Helpful and courteous staff. Great location. Funky atmosphere.

Everything is good but the sofa

We had two stays last week, the sofa condition is the same - very bad. Just sit down and found like no supporting. Pretty bad.

Unique Hotel

Great location in Hongdae …

The entire staff was welcoming, helpful, and professional. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are spacious and elegant. My new favorite hotel in Seoul!!!

Very lively night life

We really enjoyed our staying at RYSE, the location is perfect for hongdae shopping, close to subway station, hotel is modern and new, bed is very comfortable, definitely will stay again if visit Seoul again.

Good place to stay as it is central and has lots of dining options nearby within walking distance

Awesome place to stay. The staff were outstanding and went out of their way to help. Close to restaurants and small stores. Highly recommend for shirt stays.

This was a really great spot in Mapo! The immediate area is full of restaurants and a night market. The Line 2 Metro station is across the street providing quick access to the rest of Seoul. The hotel is really comfortable, with a good breakfast buffet. The staff are wonderfully accommodating and eager to help you get out and enjoy Seoul. The only complaint i can come up with is that there isn't a pool. Absolutely would stay here again

Great location.

Modern, well maintained property with efficient staff and clean rooms. Popular with twenties crowd.

It was an amazing Hotel. We think it's one of the best in Seoul Korea.
