"I liked how close the room was to the Subway. It’s likely my fault for not reading carefully but not having an elevator with wheeled luggage was not fun. I had to step sideways up the stairs also because the flat part of the steps did not fit my feet. I actually stumbled at the last part of the steps when leaving. Nice room if you have just a backpack."

"I had a great stay at Loft13 Hostel! It was an excellent value for the price. The hostel was very clean, and everything was well maintained. The highlight of my stay was definitely the staff—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. I also really appreciated having access to the washer and dryer, which was so convenient during my trip. As a bonus, the city views from the windows were beautiful, especially at night. I would definitely stay here...

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

HOTEL THE BOTANIK SEWOON MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at this hotel on multiple occasions. Always excellent. Location in not so tourist area amongst normal Korean life but still walking distance to Insadong and Myeondong. (25-30 mins). Great connections with 2 subway lines within a few minutes walk. Room amenities excellent especially washing machine. Reception staff always friendly and helpful. I will be staying again!"
