HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic hotel especially for families. The rooms have a washing machine and clothes are easily dried on the airer on the balcony. Easy 20 minute walk into Myaendong. The Vietnamese restaurant across the road KHOE is simple yet delicious. My teens would have happily eaten there every single night."
