"I had a great stay at Loft13 Hostel! It was an excellent value for the price. The hostel was very clean, and everything was well maintained. The highlight of my stay was definitely the staff—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. I also really appreciated having access to the washer and dryer, which was so convenient during my trip. As a bonus, the city views from the windows were beautiful, especially at night. I would definitely stay here...

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at this hotel on multiple occasions. Always excellent. Location in not so tourist area amongst normal Korean life but still walking distance to Insadong and Myeondong. (25-30 mins). Great connections with 2 subway lines within a few minutes walk. Room amenities excellent especially washing machine. Reception staff always friendly and helpful. I will be staying again!"
