Seoul Botanical Garden

The room itself was pretty clean, only complaint is that there isn’t much space for luggage or anything. Bathrooms were QUITE messy most of the time, but this is more the fault of other guests. Great location, very easy to locate. Didn’t try the provided breakfast as the common area gets quite busy. The staff were helpful when needed. The laundry situation can be quite annoying… there’s like 6 tiny washers that fit nothing, 2 large ones which the staff also use i believe, and only 2 dryers entirely. Guests can be inconsiderate leaving their things in the laundry past the time it’s finished.

Room was spacious with view. There was only one elevator and thankfully it did not breakdown when i stayed there. Overall, i enjoyed my stay there with location close to Myeungdong and Namsan. Room was cleaned everyday and it was excellent with front staff ready to assist you anyway they can.

It is a nice hotel to stay in the middle of the Seoul metropolis , but the sign boards provided are not big and eye catching. On the first day, when i arrived in the night , i found it difficult to locate the hotel, eventhough, i was on that lane. Brightly lit, big colourful sign board will make it easy to locate by the guests. Also the name hostel lowers the standard of this hotel. If the name was " 57 Meongdong Hotel" , it will attract more guests and guests would have a satisfaction, that they are going to a hotel rather than a hostel. Otherwise, everything was fine . I will stay there , if i visit Seoul again.
