"Great location, staff are helpful, however the rooms are on the smaller side and there isnt much space in the bathrooms."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

"We stayed here for an entire week and it was perfect. The rooms had everything we needed, including a washer and a drying rack, which was amazing! The location is ideal and close to major subway lines and within walking distance of popular areas. It was easy to navigate, clean and comfortable to stay in for a long period of time! Would definitely recommend staying here!"

"The property location was good. Nice quiet area away from crowds. The hotel rooms need a refresh. Nicer furniture and needs updating like fresh paint and more modern furnishings.
