Top Dongdaemun History Museum Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Really well-located property. Would say it’s more of an aparthotel given the amenities in the room. It’s quite minimal in design, but has everything you would need. Most importantly, really enjoyed the space in the room. We could open our big pieces of luggage and still had so much room to move around. The staff were also really helpful. For the price, it’s a stay with great value."
