HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

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."
