Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Botanic Park/South Korea
The hotel I stayed.
Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Botanic Park
I stayed at this high-mid-range hotel for 194,040 WON ( 145 USD ) near Seoul Botanic Park.
The establishment, constructed in 2018, delivers a modern and comfortable experience. The abundance of greenery around the hotel, combined with its nearness to the botanical park, created a refreshing atmosphere.
The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, with a subway station and various small shops and restaurants just a 5-minute walk away. This added to the enjoyment of my stay, making it both pleasant and hassle-free.
How to get to the hotel
The hotel is conveniently located, just three station stops away from Gimpo International Airport. This strategic position not only provides a quick and hassle-free journey for travelers but also eliminates concerns about navigating unfamiliar routes. The easy accessibility enhances the overall experience, providing a scenic setting near Seoul Botanic Park and seamless travel connections.
⇧ I appreciate the room's simplicity, which I really love. I'm not a fan of pop-art designed rooms; I prefer a minimalist style hotel. The bed is impressively large and comfortable, with fresh bedsheets. While the room isn't spacious, it's sufficient for one person to stay and relax.
The sofa and mini table are decently sized, not too big. One thing I'd like to mention is my preference for a rectangular business table instead of a round one. A rectangular shape would allow me to place more devices, even though the round table still has a nice aesthetic.
⇧I'm absolutely enamored with this hotel. Its impeccable organization and cleanliness, coupled with a lack of unnecessary features, make for an incredibly gorgeous and refreshing experience. The simplicity of the room design is truly remarkable, showcasing that sometimes less is indeed more.
The carefully selected and well-aligned bathroom amenities, particularly the Jewelry-boxed style containers, add an extra touch of sophistication. The shower room, offering both cleanliness and ample space, is a standout feature, and the presence of a rainfall shower enhances the overall comfort.
⇧ I appreciate the thoughtful details in the room. The ample number of hangers is a particular highlight for me, as it provides much-needed convenience. The inclusion of a security box is reassuring, and the provision of comfortable cotton slippers adds a touch of luxury.
The presence of a complimentary coffee set and water bottles at the coffee station is a thoughtful gesture, and having a refrigerator adds an extra layer of convenience to the overall stay.
Conclusion
This hotel has quickly become one of my favorites, thanks to its ideal location, well-designed rooms, and overall architectural style. Despite staying for only 7 hours, the check-in and check-out process, even at 5:30 AM, was remarkably smooth.
While the commute to Myeong-dong, a popular tourist destination, takes around 40 minutes by train, the hotel's standout feature for me is the abundance of greenery in its surroundings. Nestled next to Seoul Botanic Garden, the location provides a refreshing atmosphere, making it particularly enjoyable for morning walks. I highly recommend considering this hotel for your stay.
