HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms were very comfortable, and having the washer/dryer in the room was so convenient for our stay of 9 days. Food at the breakfast buffet was fantastic, with a wide variety of both Asian and Western options. Currency exchange machine in the lobby was extremely convenient. Two convenience store options steps away from the hotel for snacks and simple groceries. Location is excellent, one block away from Cheong-gye-cheon stream and walkway, which you can take for a 10-minute walk to Gwangjang Market, which has a surprisingly nice Olive Young location on the second floor. Access to Metro was a 5 minute walk to Euljiro 3-ga Station, with Lines 2 and 3."

8/10 Good
"Hotel overall was good ,location very good , gym good , breakfast good . Two issues I would like mention as not so good : First the elevators are extremely slow and in pick time like breakfast or check out time it may take 10 min to catch them ! Second issue , at the breakfast when some of the trays of proof products gets empty , they are not filled immediately or even takes long time before they get filled . Also for the breakfast , it closes at 10:00 am while taking everything out waiters make huge noise and you can’t really stay few more minutes with your coffee !"
