HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG
"The rooms had everything you needed but decoration was sparse and clinical. Room lighting was disappointing. Bed was against a wall, so it was awkward to go for an overnight toilet break without disturbing partner on open side of bed. Air con was efficient and washing machine in room welcomed."
