HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"Very much appreciated the insuite Washing machine and Fridge. Suggest a larger font for the English Labelling. A clothes dryer is needed as fresh laundered clothes hanging to dry takes too long."

Two of us stayed in a room with a bunk bed, was comfortable. Clean communal areas with a few food options such as ramen to buy in kitchen areas. Very easy access to DDP subway station for getting around the city."

10/10 Excellent
"I love the shilla! Beautiful hotel and wonderful service. Enjoyed all my meals at their in-house restaurants. My only disappointment is their offer of shilla shuttle to the myeong-do area -- they don't actually have it. They said they sometimes do not offer the service...no guarantee. Why offer this service on the hotel description if the hotel doesn't guarantee it. No one could explain it to me."

"It was a good experience overall but there were some inconsistencies from housekeeper. They took our bathrobes and never gave us replacements right after the first and second day of our stay. They also didnt provide trash bags for the garbages in the bathroom and kitchen except for the first time which feels strange for a 5 star hotel but overall, I am thankful for the job they did helping us clean up the room and there were no other qualms besides that. The washer dryer combo was terrible though and I do not recommend using it unless you plan on being there when it finishes because your clothes will just be a soaking wet mess after the “dry cycle.”"
