HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG
The hotel is very nice and comfortable. The breakfast is great, the suite has washer, dryer, an amazing steaming machine. The kitchen is completely unequipped, not even basics like plates, and the amenities are extra (you need to pay extra to use the playroom). Overall we really enjoyed our stay ...

Grand Hyatt Seoul
The Grand Hyatt Seoul has a fantastic location above Itaewon with beautiful views, and that's about all it has going for it. The service was among the worst I have experienced at a hotel in this category. I repeatedly asked for housekeeping and no one ever came. Turndown service simply doesn't exist ...

ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun
Nice place and well kept. Staffs were very helpful, friendly, courteous. Nice selection for breakfast and they were made to order. At around 8 AM constructions started lots of noise and hammering sounds that we couldn’t sleep in!
