RYSE Autograph Collection, Seoul

In a central location and easily accessible by transport. Plush bed! Helpful staff and good communication.

Cafe on ground floor has very limited food selection and then, some would even be out of stock.

The location is perfect, and the hotel room was amazing. The high-floor room offers a beautiful city view at night as well as a view of N Seoul Tower.

The room size is excellent for a family of four. Overall, everything at the hotel was perfect, and we will definitely come back again.

Ann at the front desk, who checked us in, was very helpful and welcoming. Thank you, Ann.

Also, many thanks to Day from the concierge, who was very helpful when we left the hotel for the airport.

Nothing.

The prime location

Would have preferred disposable bedroom slippers

Clean, stylish and artsy hotel decor. Wonderful staff, friendly and helpful. Spacious room for 2 adults and 2 children, that came with a filtered water dispenser and hot water kettle. Great location! Red road shopping, cafes, convenience stores and restaurants right outside!

Location was top notch. So convenient to eateries and shops!

Great location .
Amazing hotel and rooms and even better modern bathrooms

The staff was exceptional, really helpful at the ground level helping with directions and bus timetable. Especially a young man who was very helpful and even told us eta on next airport bus.
The room itself is very comfortable and well styled. The location is right in the middle of Hongdae.

The place did not have any coin laundry to give the option of self laundry service. Would be nice to have this facility.

Loved the location. The room was spacious and very clean. The view of hongdae and the river from our window was lovely.

The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Nothing but I think the beds and pillow could be a bit more comfortable other than that everything was great.

Good location, a nice walk to nearby wonderful bars, cafes and shopping.
Interesting room styling and good space for luggage. Staff were very helpful in organising a car for us to the airport. The service was as high quality as I have come to expect from the Autograph Collection hotels.

Unique hotel with very different decorations.

The property is amazing, but I don’t like the Hongdae zone, I thought it was more nice area.

Toilet: Spacious area for bath & toilet which is separated by 2 doors.
Sound system: Room sound system was good.
Water Dispenser: Water dispenser was available within the room

Location: Two different places for waiting / drop off for rides, front and back of hotel.

The hip and cool style. Bluetooth speakers. water dispenser and hair dryers!

The double beds are smaller than usual queen size beds so it’s tight for two adults to share

Great location, nice rooms and clean!

Wish the breakfast was a bit less $ would have eaten there more often

Great location, breakfast buffet, staff, and room size.

Nothing really

Location was great a busy area of Seoul with a lot going on, especially for the younger crowd. Lots of local food options close by and transport with buses and subway all within a few minutes walk. Blue Bottle cafe on the ground floor does the best coffee in Korea, great start to the day. Gym is small but ok and the bar on level 15 is excellent. On the airport side of the city which is prob a bonus for business stopovers.

Location wise, it is not the centre of city so have factor that in - each attraction is a subway or bus trip, sometimes with switching lines involved. Over time, its easier to optimise each trip though so it becomes less of a factor. Breakfast in these hotels is super expensive if you want something simple like granola, so we avoided it. Be great if hotels offered a cheap limited breakfast of granola/toast plus coffee.

Lively youthful vibe in the hotel and area. Many restaurants nearby. The room was quiet and tastefully decorated. Beautiful bathroom. Lovely touches like complimentary facial masks. Warm reception from concierge who provide additional services like restaurant recommendations.

Music in reception lobby a little too loud for me.

Excellent furnishings, extremely clean and we loved the location. The bed was very comfortable and quiet at night. They had a water filter built into the room, meaning unlimited water (which is not the norm for South Korea as a lot of places simply give you bottled water).

Nothing. If you can, book this place!

Modern and perfect location.

Too expensive

Room was very spacious and clean, location was fantastic- close to the heart of Hongdae with lots of food and transport options. Airport bus stop was right in front of the hotel as well.

Minor point but would have preferred disposable slippers in the room

Excellent room - very comfy bed.
Friendly staff - helpful

Gym a bit small
Concierge could have spoken better English

Great location. Amazing/ helpful staff. Room service is fast and exceptional. Room was spacious and housekeeping did a great job. The rooftop bar is wonderful.

The comfort, skincare masks, coffee machine, amenities, everything

Beautifully designed and thoughtfully curated, RYSE is a treat for anyone who appreciates great aesthetics. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and full of stylish details. Staff were consistently warm and helpful, making check-in and daily requests a breeze.

The location is very convenient and lively — though personally not my favorite area in Seoul — it’s great for those who enjoy being close to shops and nightlife. A bonus? There’s a Blue Bottle café right at the entrance, perfect for a morning coffee before heading out.

The location was lively and convenient, but not my personal favorite area in Seoul.

The room was a good size and quiet, the bed was very comfortable. Teh filtered water device was great meaning we had on tap water 24/7 and didn't need to ask for bottled water! The hotel is located close by many small restaurants and cafes making finding somewhere good to eat very easy. The Subway station is only a short walk from the hotel. Breakfast was good and had reasonable variety with very pleasant and friendly staff.

Overall there wasn't anything to dislike, occasionally the wait for the lifts was longer than would normally be expected.

Everything was really good, very comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic 😍
Also the location is A1!

A little on the pricey side but worth it if it’s in budget…..

Easy, comfortable, thoughtful and in a brilliant location. Great coffee shop in the lobby too. Loved it.

Nothing bad to say

The staff are always lovely, the place is clean with a nice scent, and it’s conveniently located.

I used to stay here back when there were even more amenities. If possible, I’d like to suggest bringing back complimentary drinking water.

The room is new, modern, and beautifully designed. Very comfortable!

Just be aware that it takes around an hour to get to many of the city’s main attractions.

Incredibly comfortable bed, quiet despite being in the heart of a busy area, great location close to the circle line metro and beautiful design.

We stayed at RYSE, Autograph Collection by Marriott from August 25–29 and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Hongdae, with countless restaurants, cafés, shops, and nightlife just steps away.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide range of both European and Asian dishes as well as fresh fruit. It even had a dedicated egg station. Our room was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and located on the 16th floor with a side view. A nice detail was the in-room drinking water station together with a fridge – very convenient.

Overall, a stylish hotel with great service and atmosphere – we would definitely stay here again!

At night, we could hear some of the street artists and singers from Hongdae until around 11 pm, which reflects the lively neighborhood, but we didn’t hear any noise from the nightclub above.
