Book a hotel near Gwanghwamun Plaza, Jongno-gu

"Overall it was great! I was a bit disappointed when we first arrived because the place was small and little walking space and the carpet inside the room is old. But the staff were just amazing and gave us great service. The sheets and bedding were so luxurious feeling which made up for some of the disappointment but overall the responsive as of housekeeping, the front staff, and security downstairs made up for it. It was also so nice to have a laundry machine there. It is a little bit of a walk to the main Myeongdong shopping but very doable. It’s also conveniently located by angelinus which has good cafe drinks and breads and also a 7 eleven. Overall we were happy. They accommodated us late check out also. "

"Excellent staff. Ellie at concierge was most helpful. Room was wonderful and location great for restaurants and local market. "

"The location is great, easy to get to many places by walking or take public transportation. The staff here are helpful and friendly. Overall I enjoyed my stay here. "

"The hotel is in an up and coming area and so the view included a construction site but the hotel is great. Very clean and location was really good. Our room was amazing, very spacious. It was helpful to have a washer, dryer and air dresser. My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Hotel the Botanik and would definitely stay there again."

"The Splaisir Sotetsu Myeongdong is simply unbeatable when it comes to location. Nestled right in the heart of Myeongdong, it offers immediate access to the vibrant shopping streets, countless dining options, and excellent transportation links — everything is just a few steps away. Limousine bus stop to and from Incheon airport just half a block from the hotel. The service here is equally impressive. The staff are consistently friendly, professional, and always eager to help, making you feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you arrive. The breakfast buffet is another highlight. It offers a wide selection of fresh and delicious options, perfectly blending Korean and international dishes — a great way to start the day before heading out to explore the city. In short, this hotel delivers exceptional value with its prime location, attentive service, and outstanding breakfast. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul."
