HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG
The hotel was beautiful and very quiet. First hotel I couldn’t hear any neighbors. The room was spacious and having a full kitchen and washer/dryer in the unit made it so convenient.

Royal Hotel Seoul
Great spacious, quiet room with lounge access which includes tea, coffee, snacks. The Grand restaurant was also excellent where I had 2 lunches & 1 breakfast. It is a convenient location to shopping & street food, which looked good but I did nit try since I don't like eating standing up. Will stay ...
