Axel's take

a design-led 3-star boutique hotel in Hongdae

8.3/10

A strong Hongdae base, with distinctive rooms and a few practical compromises.

9 Brick is a design-led 3-star boutique hotel that makes most sense for travelers who want Hongdae’s shops, restaurants and nightlife close by. It’s a strong pick for couples and solo explorers: Expedia and Trip.com guests repeatedly praise the location, comfortable rooms and helpful reception staff. Hongik University station is roughly six minutes away on foot, and the brick-heavy interiors give it more character than a standard budget base.

The compromises are practical rather than glamorous. Guests mention dim lighting and bathroom layouts with limited privacy, while breakfast draws mixed reactions. Cleanliness is generally rated well, although several recent Trip.com reviews report lapses; the hotel also says housekeeping requires hanging the room-cleaning card outside. We’d skip it for friends needing bathroom privacy or families wanting generous space for three.

Best for

  • couples exploring Hongdae
  • solo shopping and dining trips
  • travelers who prefer distinctive interiors

  • limited bathroom privacy in some rooms
  • dim room lighting

Amenities
Restaurant, cafe/bar, free Wi-Fi and parking; breakfast receives mixed feedback.
Fees and surprises
Breakfast and laundry cost extra; confirm additional bedding charges before booking.
