Top Central Buddhist Museum Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"The Botanik Sewoon Hotel was excellent , was cleaned and comfortable only short coming is the toilet as there is no wooden wall to divide the shower and toilet area all are glass panel. So if you are coming with friends might not be suitable we stayed in the suite room not sure of others rooms do check before booking. Walking to the subway is about 6-8 mins Gil 3 or Gil 4 subway not that close to the main shopping area need to take subway and change line 4-2 or 3-2 green line . Forget about taxi .. on the road taxi were not honest used an app but not cheap too . Walking from exit to exit inside subway is fair and lots of staircase about minimum 20-40 steps in one go. Breakfast was good nice environment . A 24 hours shops below when you buy the T card was either 400 to 500 won to money top up only a blank card and you need to top up at the store maybe 500-1000 won. Thank you to all the staffs at Botanik Hotel sewoon ! Joyce Singapore"

The perfect location for shopping while still enjoying a relaxing stay!"
