HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"I was so pleasantly surprised by this property! We had a kitchen, so much space to just chill and so much space in the closets! There was a closet just for the shoes. Also it was really nice that a washer/dryer unit was in the room as well. It felt more like an apartment with hotel amenities. It was also really nice that several convenience stores were right by and a subway station was close by as well! It’s not in central myeongdong but I think I liked that factor. Definitely will stay here again!"
