# GLAD Mapo

A four-star on Mapo-daero — Hongdae 0.8 km, exceptional service scores — with guest data that praises staff and location more than food-and-beverage detail.

## Verdict

Book it for Hongdae access and staff praise; do not book it expecting standout dining commentary — food and beverage is the softest category and delivery assistance gets a minor knock.

The geography is why this hotel is here. our hotel data provider puts Hongdae at 0.8 km, Hongik University Station at 0.8 km, Yeouido Hangang Park at 3.2 km and Gyeongbokgung at 5 km. Location scores a flat 10 out of 10 in the guest analysis.

The supplier rating is 9.8 out of 10 from 3,168 reviews, captured 8 January 2026. Service and location both score 10; room quality 9.82; value 9.82; overall experience 10. Food and beverage is the relative soft spot at 9.13, with no specific F&B praise in the summary. Pros name exceptional service and convenient transport; cons name lack of specific food comments and a minor delivery-assistance issue.

Facilities are practical urban four-star: fitness centre, bar, business centre, currency exchange, parking garage and a minimarket on site. There is no swimming pool or restaurant called out as a headline amenity in the facility list we cite.

Check-in and check-out times are not published by this property. Incheon International Airport is 36 km on our POI figures.

## Is GLAD Mapo good for Hongdae nightlife?

The pin is built for it — Hongdae is 0.8 km and location scores 10 out of 10 from 3,168 reviews as of 8 January 2026. You still trade distance to the palace cluster for those evenings.

## What do guests complain about?

Not much in the highlights — lack of specific food-and-beverage comments and a minor delivery-assistance note. Food and beverage scores 9.13 out of 10, the softest category in the set.
