Top Gwanghuimun Gate Hotel Reviews

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in an excellent location that made it easy to get to via the Metro and also easy to walk to many of the sights around. Many other aspects of the room and facilities were excellent. The 2 things preventing this being a 5 star review were the breakfast which was good but without a huge choice and was not replenished as much as we would expect, and the layout of the suite which was quite cramped with too few lights and sockets and a bizarrely placed tv."
