HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"Big shout out to the staff at reception — they were incredibly helpful, assisting us with making calls since we don’t speak Korean. They also went out of their way to help trace my lost document with the airport lost and found. Thank you very much for making our stay so smooth and stress-free."
