HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good
"We stayed 6 nights, so really appreciate the in-suite laundry facility. The breakfast was great and service was excellent. The facility is a bit old, but clean. The television is in an awkward place in our suite though. It’s in the bedroom beside the headboard. Would be nice to have some utensils, plates, but you can rent them from the hotel. Location is good. We used the subway which is a few mins walk. Overall it’s a good stay."
