"I chose the Sohyang room and it was a bit smaller than expected. I think it's okay if you're only staying for a night or two but since I stayed almost a week, I wish I went for a larger room. Good amenities and room was clean. I had a little trouble checking in but the staff was very helpful. I would stay here again."

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."
