ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun

10/10 Excellent

"Good value, clean and centrally located - short drive to Seoul Station. We stayed here for 1 night before taking the Airport Express train back to Seoul Incheon. This was a convenient choice to be near Seoul Station. The room was very spacious. Breakfast was served by staff, rather than buffet style, which is nice, but in the early morning I just want to choose for myself from a selection, rather than wait to be served. For a business hotel, I found this a bit incongruous. But overall, I would recommend this hotel as a place to stay when visiting Seoul."

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

6/10 Okay

"Pros Staff were excellent and very helpful. Shop downstairs handy. The breakfast was nice - although two rooms were open for guests, it still felt too many people for the space and you often had to wait for things to be restocked (coffee cups for example). This was no bother but saying in case it is for some people. Location was excellent near the subway in a quiet area between busy Myeondong centre and markets! Washing machine and tumble dryer an excellent addition. Cons Room itself was big but was disappointed having booked an apartment style room only to have two cups, 0 cutely, no glasses, no plates or amenities in the room. I had to ask for those from downstairs but they could only provide me with more mugs and spoons and nothing else! After long day with family and kids, some nights it was nice to stay in and eat excerpt we had very little to cook/ eat with. Room clean was daily but it was to empty bins only. We aren’t ones for a daily clean if I am honest but when a clean was needed I was surprised that it was beyond basic! We were a little disappointed having asked to cancel breakfast after paying for it for two nights (due to early start - poor planning on my part) to be told we couldn’t as its hotel policy because of the booking deal. We had no deals and overpaid massively for this hotel. We paid room fee outright and paid for breakfast at the property separate. We liked it but honestly I am unsure if I would stay there again."
