Top Whanki Museum Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"It was great staying there at the suites. I stayed for six nights and the suite is very clean and has everything you need to cook, do laundry with dryer. Its very spacious at 50sqm and has clean air and does not smell. The reception told me its new hotel that started business in q2, 2025 Location is a little far 15-20mins walk from Myeongdong main street but its good to have some walking after food. I feel safe walking back but you will walk along a short quiet alleys just prior reaching the hotel (depending the route you take). You can also get a taxi back for < usd 10. Transport is cheap so it beats paying top dollar for a stay within the street. However it is close to Gwangjung market and a short 15 mins walk to ikseon dong. I recommend you walk to ikseon dong for breakfast or lunch if you are late sleeper. There are some good options. Twosome place is just a 5 mins walk away if you want to grab a morning coffee. I don’t used the hotel amenities so i cant rate it but there are a couple of restaurants at the floor level that you can grab something to eat (not crowded) and convenience store at the second level. Hope this review helps in making your choice."

The Prima Hotel Jongno

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel staff are kind, knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms are quiet, clean and provide enough space to be comfortable. We had the breakfast one day and it included a decent variety of Korean and western dishes. The hotel is conveniently located near train stations and bus stops and walkable to many popular cafes, restaurants and areas including Insadong, Bukchon Hanok village, the pocha streets in Jongno, and the Gyeongbokgung Palace. We will likely stay again at Prima when we return to Seoul."

Orakai Insadong Suites

10/10 Excellent

"In the heart of central Seoul, you have amazing access to so many great places to visit. To compliment that, this hotel was so exquisitely nice to stay in. The views are breathtaking of the palaces and other neighborhoods of Jongro (Jongno) and Insadong. The rooms are suburb and the staff help helped us with coordinating logistics practically every day that we were there. Top notch."
