Top Gwanghwamun Square Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms were very clean and spacious compared to some other hotels we have been to in Asia. Although it’s a little bit of a walk to myeongdong area, it wasnt’t too bad even with our toddler. But a taxi/uber from there is only a few minutes and not too expensive of a ride. It is also not too far from other popular areas like Gangnam, which was about 25 or so minute taxi/uber ride. Lots of places to eat in walking distance (20 minutes or less) and also lots of shopping. We didn’t have to go out of this area much as the department stores were also walkable or an easy ride."
