HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG
The room was nice and big and clean. Very accessible to the train stations. Walking distance to Myeongdong. The convenience stores and restaurants nearby are so convenient and restaurant food were great. Would stay here again.

Toyoko Inn Seoul Gangnam
My second time of visiting as a solo female traveller from the U.K. checking in was amazing and staff friendly. The solo room was perfect includes a fridge. In the lobby is a microwave. The eco clean is great but they still left clean towels etc outside the door. Would’ve liked the option of another ...
