Top Changdeokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked the location of this. The room was very clean. We had two rooms two balconies space’s bathroom. Washer and dryer was great in the closet. They had what was called an hairdresser which I thought was pretty convenient for my button up shirts I went downstairs, got a pan so that we can make food in the room. The location was pretty nice pretty close to the rail stations and also 3-5 walk to catch a limo bus to the Airport. The breakfast buffet was a little pricey, but the food was really good. They also have a great little convenience store literally right off of the lobby, which was great for late night snacks etc. and not having to go far. We highly recommend."

"The best location! This 5-star hotel is located right across the street from Myeong-dong’s shopping area. I love how it separates the busy shopping district from the hotel’s peaceful, upscale atmosphere. Once you cross the street from Myeong-dong shopping street, it feels much quieter and more luxurious. The perfect location for shopping while still enjoying a relaxing stay!"
