I wouldn’t stay here again
Pros:

Location was ok

Cons:

I did a long stay and expected basic room cleaning but it was only every other day and only when I asked. Room was a lot smaller than I thought it would be and the cleaning wasn’t great. There is a lot of construction in the area too so it’s not a pretty view

lovely hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Hotel Botanik was very conveniently located, with easy access to two subway lines that connected us to many of the major attractions and areas around the city. Getting around Seoul was simple and stress-free. It was also within easy walking distance to the beautiful Cheonggyecheon Stream and the lively Jongno District area, making it a great base for exploring on foot.

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We stayed in a two-bedroom suite which was ideal. While the second bedroom was noticeably smaller with less room to move around, there was still plenty of cupboard space which made it practical and comfortable.

I loved having the kitchen and lounge area as it made the stay feel much more spacious and homely. The clothes steamer/freshener was also a fantastic touch and something we really appreciated. Another big bonus, especially for longer stays, was having both a washing machine and tumble dryer in the room.

The breakfast was good — nothing overly fancy, but it catered well to both Asian and Western tastes, so there was enough variety to suit different preferences.

The suite was clean, comfortable and very functional, and the location was excellent. I would definitely recommend Hotel Botanik, particularly for families, friends travelling together or anyone planning a longer stay in Seoul.

Cons:

although they supplied tea and coffee and free water in the room, no milk or sugar was provided. we had to purchase that from the convenience store.

五日四夜行程，住得非常之舒服，重點沒有大陸遊客，基本上全部都外國人，行去廣藏市場非常近，附近都好多嘢食，酒店樓下間Cafe好好食，不過要出明洞就要行耐啲20分鐘左右
Pros:

員工態度非常好，我的耳環後托跌落落地下喺床底，同reception溝通完，即刻搵員工幫我抬起張床執返，第三日冇出聲都有幫我哋換床單，非常乾淨，房間非常大，床非常舒服，最意外嘅佢竟然有Samsung嘅消毒衣櫃，雖然露台好大塵（應該對面係工地嘅影響）

Cons:

沒有不滿意的地方

Sehr schönes Hotel mit toller Lage
Pros:

Frühstück und Zimmerausstattung waren sehr gut.

Cons:

Direkt neben den Hotel wurden Gebäude abgerissen, die Aussicht war zum Teil also nicht so dolle (aber das ist ja eigentlich auch Nebensache)

Pros:

New and modern and very spacious. It was clean and although not right in the heart of the action there were plenty of amenities and shopping within walking distance.

Cons:

I booked the botanik suite because I saw there were two rooms but the 2nd bedroom didn't have a door and the entrance faced the bathroom door which was somewhat see through so whenever someone went to the restroom or made noise in the living room it would wake me up. Would have been nice to have a few more hooks in the bathroom and maybe 1 or 2 in the shower itself. Also although breakfast was good, there was almost no change day to day in options. Bed and pillows are very hard.

Удобно и чисто
Pros:

Изключително чисто и поддържано с любезен персонал и в близост до метро, което е плюс

Cons:

стаите са тесни и апартамента с две спални няма врати за едната спалня, което не се разбира от снимките

Overall, we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I would highly recommend this hotel to fa
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We were a group of three and the two-bedroom suite was very spacious and comfortable, with more than enough room for all of us.

The kitchen was fully functional and very convenient for preparing simple meals. The bathroom was huge, which made our stay even more comfortable. One feature we especially loved was the complimentary Samsung AirDresser, which was incredibly useful during the spring season for freshening up our clothes.

Housekeeping provided daily cleaning, so the suite was always spotless and well maintained. Breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of substantial options to choose from each morning.

Overall, we were very impressed with the room amenities, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-equipped hotel.

Cons:

The only downside was that the hotel was a bit far from the Myeongdong shopping district. The walk was around 1.2 km, which may be manageable for some travelers, but since I was traveling with senior citizens, it was not very convenient. We ended up taking Uber quite often to make getting around easier.

Another minor issue was that one of the bedrooms in the two-bedroom suite did not have a door, which reduced privacy a bit. Other than that, our stay was very comfortable and enjoyable.
