Ever since I've stayed at Rio House for the first time, it has become the only choice for me. I have since stayed there for 3 times.
The location is perfect - just a 2 mins walk from Hongdae station. You can take the AREX train from Incheon and reach Hongdae within an hour. The shopping area is just across the street with countless restaurants nearby. There’s a 7-11 in the street beside and a small supermarket further behind.
Rio House has studio apartments that are huge – all comes with kitchenette and bathroom. There’s a self-service laundry room in basement 2. They offer tour packages and the best thing – help to order food delivery!
The owner, Insung, is very responsive and friendly too. Before our arrival, I contacted him to ask about luggage storage as we would be arriving very early in Seoul. He was so nice to offer us to check-in the room directly, allowing us to have a short rest before touring Seoul. What’s more – he left 2 power adapters in the room. This shows that he really takes care of the details and traveler's needs.
Seoul is definitely a city I yearned to return and I’ll absolutely choose Rio House!
