HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG
Clean and modern hotel with an excellent gym and close to train station. Cafe and convenience store at the bottom of the building. Odd room design - one room had no door, the other room had a clear glass sliding door so not much privacy if you’re booking the 2 bedroom with friends.
