HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was really amay, the staff were so grate. I would definitely be back to stay here again."
"Overall it was great! I was a bit disappointed when we first arrived because the place was small and little walking space and the carpet inside the room is old. But the staff were just amazing and gave us great service. The sheets and bedding were so luxurious feeling which made up for some of the disappointment but overall the responsive as of housekeeping, the front staff, and security downstairs made up for it. It was also so nice to have a laundry machine there. It is a little bit of a walk to the main Myeongdong shopping but very doable. It’s also conveniently located by angelinus which has good cafe drinks and breads and also a 7 eleven. Overall we were happy. They accommodated us late check out also. "
ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)
10/10 Excellent
"The location is great, easy to get to many places by walking or take public transportation. The staff here are helpful and friendly. Overall I enjoyed my stay here. "
"Very friendly, professional, and accomodating staff. I stayed in a single-bed room (as a solo traveler) for 5 nights. Worked for me as I was out exploring the area most of the time. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to parks and shopping malls. It's also about 15 minutes from Meongdong, which I didn't know upon booking the room. Meongdong is a fun touristy place to walk around and try street food.
The single rooms in the hotel are quite compact, so if you are planning to travel with others and/or be inside for lengthy periods, perhaps opt for a larger space. Still, I was very comfortable--bed, bathroom, shower etc. all was well-kept and clean. I also paid for breakfast each morning at a very reasonable price. They offer buffet style with many options. I am vegetarian and was able to get my fill of eggs, fruit...and coffee.
I will plan to stay here again when back in the area. Many thanks. "
"I have only positive things to say about this hotel, the staff was very polite and accommodating, the hotel was super clean and the rooms were nice overall. The only advice I would give people is to make sure you time when you want to use the laundry, it can get quite busy down there. Also, if you wanted to stay near Myeondong night market, this is not that close, you'll need to ride the bus or subway to get there. Overall, this hotel was awesome, it was convenient and easy to find. The lounge on the 18th floor and the terrace on the roof was very cool, and the hotel lobby was also super nice. Great hotel, highly recommended."
"This is a beautiful property with exceptionally friendly staff and excellent food. The location is perfect, very convenient and easy to get around. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again!"
