Stayed here for 5 nights and it was a good experience overall. Check in was smooth and easy. There are 2 buildings in total (Block A and B) connected with a walkway. I got a good room rate which is non-refundable so it's a good deal overall. I'll definitely choose to stay here again and hopefully their housekeeping standards will improve by then. The good - The building is extremely new! It's a quiet neighbourhood with other service apartment style hotels (the area well lit at night, dont worry) - near to 2 metro station (3sam-ga and 4sa-ga) but very limited bus service nearby - surrounded by a few convenience stores (emart/gs25) - comfortable bed and pillows - international plugs - direct bus from myeongdong street - there is a few WOWPASS machines in the hotel. The bad - They alternate between tidying & changing linens. You'll have to request from reception if you need the linen change daily. - housekeeping was not up to standard. (1) the floor mat was not given for 2 nights as staff mistakenly gave me another bath towel (2) mugs were washed but not placed back into the original position, it was left by the sink. (3) bath robes were not replaced for one of the nights and I had to call the reception What was provided: - balcony! - washing machine (detergent to be purchased from reception at a fee) - smart dryer (air clean, steam or dry wet clothes) - a full fridge with freezer - microwave oven - wine chiller and wine glass - induction cooker (pots to be requested from reception) - hair dryer - shampoo/conditioner/body wash - bath robes

Of course! Here's a longer, grammatically correct version of your review: --- The room was very nice and fully equipped with everything I needed. It felt more like a modern studio apartment than a typical hotel room. All the furnishings and appliances were new and in excellent condition, which made my stay even more comfortable. The space was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to relax and feel at home. I truly enjoyed staying here and would definitely consider returning in the future.

Since it is a recently built hotel, the interior is clean. It is nice that there are facilities inside for cooking. The downside is that when you open the window, you can see the opposite windows, and the room is a little dark.
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.We are glad to hear that you appreciated our clean interiors and in-room cooking facilities.We also value your comments regarding the view and room brightness, and will take them into consideration for future improvements.We look forward to welcoming you again.Hotel The BOTANIK Sewoon Myeongdong

One of the worst hotel i have stayed at, first of all the neighbors is bad old and boring when it come to the hotel : one tiny reception lobby for a giant complex’s, ( mean receptionist that was servile with me and condescending with my Korean friend when asked to register her car ) once you got your room key it’s literally like an escape to find your room ( be also ready to wait 10 mins for elevator and if they are not full you are extremely lucky ) after going from A building to B building you arrived in your fresh painted smelly room and you are gifted with a Bangladesh slums view or Hiroshima circa 1950 i your imagination do the work !

The unit was spacious, clean and neat for the three of us though it isn’t close to any train station. The check-in was smooth and we did it through the machine. There’s a convenience store that opens 24-7 which is a big bonus. Overall, it was a great experience staying at this hotel.

The hotel is near to the train stations. There is a pick up and drop off point for the airport bus. The room is clean and big, and very new. On the first day, i was welcome by a rude staff, but after that, all staffs are good. The hotel have all the basics, but there is not free luggage store, you need to pay. This is the bad point

Hotel The Botanik Sewoon Myeongdong in Seoul is a modern, clean, and well-equipped hotel praised for its convenient location near a subway station and central attractions, making it excellent for extended stays and families. I appreciate the spacious rooms with amenities like washer/dryers and kitchenettes, along with the friendly and helpful staff. While some found the beds too firm, and the immediate surroundings can appear a bit "rough," these are minor points compared to the overall positive experiences.

Stayed here recently and wow—what a steal! If you’re looking for something easy on the wallet but high on convenience, this is your spot. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the heart of Myeongdong, which means shopping, street food, and skincare galore are practically at your doorstep. 💅🥟🛍️ The room? Surprisingly spacious for Seoul standards! I wasn’t expecting a ballroom, but I definitely got more space than I paid for—enough to throw my suitcase open like a drama queen and still do a spin. 💃 It’s quiet, clean, and cozy. Nothing fancy or flashy, but honestly, for the price? A total win. Great value, especially if you’re spending more time exploring than lounging around indoors. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. It’s like the reliable, budget-conscious boyfriend—might not have a yacht, but knows how to treat you right. 😉
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Wow—what an incredible review! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful and entertaining feedback.We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you found great value in your stay and enjoyed the convenient location, spacious room, and overall comfort.Your creative description brought a big smile to our team—we’re honored to be your "budget-conscious boyfriend" of hotels! 😊It’s especially rewarding to know that our property met your expectations as a cozy and practical base for exploring the heart of Seoul.We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Until then, happy travels and we hope to see you again soon!Warm regards,Hotel The BOTANIK Sewoon Myeongdong
