"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

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was very helpful and friendly. They tried their best to be as accommodating as possible and meet every request of their customers. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay here again when I travel back. The location was also ideal and close to everything, while still being quiet and tucked away. The housekeeping staff were wonderful as well."
