HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

8/10 Good

"Kitchen didn’t really have anything to cook with but loved my stay! ❤️"

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in the heart of the shopping street so it’s just steps from shops and restaurants. Very clean and modern. We had a view of the cathedral from our 9th floor room. Beds were comfortable. Wifi worked well throughout the hotel. Lobby is in the 21st floor. Taxi can’t drive up to the front door until after midnight so you need to walk to a major street if you’re coming from the airport with lots of luggage. We tried the buffet breakfast and it was good and convenient with a nice view from the top of the hotel but a bit expensive. Hotel provides free ice candy, money exchange, umbrellas, vending machine, and luggage storage in the lobby. We checked in at midnight with no problem. Check out time is 12pm so we had plenty of time to sleep in and pack our bags. Coin laundry and free microwave ovens are on the 6th floor. Ice machine and water dispenser on every floor. We received 3 bottles of water and new towels every day! Netflix and Amazon can login to your account and automatically log out when you leave."
