HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"clean rooms with modern design, and rich amenities including washer/dryer, AC, clothes steamer, safe. The free breakfast is also decent, and the location is close to major tourist spots. The only issue for American tourists is the small rooms (500 square feet for a two bed room suite)."

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent
"The Shilla Soedaemun is at the highest end of budget and none the worse for that. Breakfast is pretty good with Western and Korean options. Room are a little on the small side but quite serviceable - we found there was ample room for two. The metro station outside gives good access to Seoul’s sights, but the hotel is 20 minutes walk away from Seoul Station and there is no easy metro connection - it took us 55 minutes on the metro, most of which was spent walking from one line to another . The hotel’s “Seoul staton” monicker is very misleading"

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel in a great location! There are plenty of public transportation options nearby, including an airport limousine bus. The hotel was clean, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A big advantage for me was the coin-operated washing machines. There are lots of cafés and restaurants in the area, yet the hotel itself is in a very quiet and peaceful location. I also loved the little touch of receiving a face mask every morning such a nice surprise! I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"We are a family of 4 who spent a week in Seoul, touring the city and its nearby sites. Novotel met all our needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The hotel is closed to a subway and a night market around the corner, so it's very convenient to get from one place to another. Breakfast was buffet-style, serving varying Asian/Western options. The soup noodle was my favorite. Thanks Novotel for making our stay in Seoul so enjoyable, will definitely book with you whenever we are back in Seoul."
