Guest UserA very satisfying stay! The front desk staff spoke Chinese, so communication was completely smooth, and they were extremely warm and welcoming. The breakfast offered a great variety and the dishes changed almost every day. I was also very pleased that there is a smoking room on every floor. The location is excellent—near the Cheonggyecheon Stream and Dongdaemun Outlet, and very close to N Seoul Tower and Gwangjang Market. Transportation is super convenient as well, with Subway Lines 2, 4, and 5 and tour bus stops all nearby.

Guest UserGreat location there is an airport bus stop right in front of the hotel that makes arriving and departing seemless. Connected to one of the top malls in Seoul, gym is fully equipped but the swimming pool cannot just drop in need to book in advance to use. Overall good hotel, but the walls are thin, easy to hear the sounds of the hallway and upstairs, rather off for a 5 star hotel.

TLflowI loved my stay in this hotel. The room was small yes, but soooo cozy, and because the bed, the big window and the ceiling was a bit higher, it didn't feel cramped. The suitcase could be stalled under the bed, and the bathroom is sooo new, clean and nice. I just love the vibe. I was there during the hottest summer time, so the AC was on and it was really powerful and great. I had a beautiful view of Sinsa, Namsantower, all of Seoul basically. The window glass is tinted and likely UV glass though. The bed is cozy, and the price more than reasonable. The location is excellent as well. You have a short walk to the nearest Metro Station, the side street is beautiful and way nicer than the parallel Garusogil street, it's not even far to Hangang, or Apgujeong, etc. etc.

Guest UserWe are a well-traveled, Korean-American couple with adult child who stayed in the Botanik for one week in October 2026. Hotel is large, consisting of two buildings A and B-dong. Full of foreigners, a lot of Japanese, a few Australian, SE Asians, Americans/Canadians, a tour group of Israelis, a few Indians, Middle Easterners. English-speaking lobby staff. New and nicely appointed rooms with a modern/contemporary design.
Not everyone may appreciate the industrial nature of the area, but we loved it. Hotel is adjacent to a covered car park that houses a 70-80’s-era block of small businesses dealing in specialized electrical parts and small appliances. Behind the hotel is a tented market stand selling grains, seaweed, squid, handmade wooden kitchen tools (highly recommend), other small items like back scrubbers and such. This area is undeveloped, a bit old and a bit dilapidated. I hope they keep it. Incredible character. There is some kind of high rise in construction adjacent to the hotel on the other side. Also next to the hotel is a wonderful coffee shop “Burnt Seoul” that is like something out of post-War Europe.
Ubers are easy to call from the hotel. $6-10 to pretty much anywhere north of the river, about $10-$12 to Gangnam. Ubers were so affordable we didn’t bother with public transportation.
In our 3-person suite, we had a washer and portable drying rack (standard for Korea), steam closet, electric cooktop, electric water kettle, microwave (it may have had an oven option, but too difficult to figure out and not worth the fire risk), kitchen sink/sponge/dish detergent, 3 spoons/forks and 1(?) butter knife, 3 wine glasses and mugs. A slim, full-sized fridge/freezer, plates, no bowls. No kitchen knife or cutting board, no pots or pans or cooking utensils (though I believe they are provided upon request). So, minimally stocked to actually cook inside the room.
The other amenities, such as gym, we did not use. The pool was closed by October. The hotel does not store your luggage but there is a locker storage room on site for 2000 won. There is also a small grocery in the complex and another one downstairs outside. There is a laundromat next to that store, which I imagine has dryers.
All in all, we would stay here again. We had reason once to call for help in our room. I believe it was the manager on duty who came, and he was so kindly and respectful (removed his shoes at the door), it left a very good, last impression of the place. I would love it if there had been just a few more square feet open floor space, and translated appliance instructions in English for ultimate convenience. But excellent value for everything provided here.

Overall, my stay was great! The room was a bit small, but it was spotless. For two people, there wasn't much space to lay out luggage, but we managed to pack and unpack.
The room amenities were a pleasant surprise: a large fridge and two washing machines. We didn't use them during our short trip, but they would be incredibly useful for long-term travelers. The hotel also provides two complimentary bottles of water daily, and the shower pressure was excellent and very comfortable.
The front desk service was a big plus; the staff spoke Chinese, making the check-in process seamless. The location is superb, with a convenience store right downstairs – perfect for buying water, snacks, and daily necessities. Myeongdong shopping area is also within walking distance, making shopping and errands incredibly easy. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Seoul!

Anonymous UserI stayed at a hotel in the Anguk area and honestly, it was really good! It was super convenient for anyone who wants to enjoy the Anguk neighborhood, as it's within walking distance to popular cafes and tourist spots. The self-check-in was also a plus, making it easy to check in without worrying about time. The hotel itself was very clean and new, and the room was spacious enough to open a suitcase, so even with a lot of luggage, I was very comfortable!

クラシコIt's about a 10-minute walk from the subway station, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby, and convenience stores are right next to the hotel on both sides, which was great. The amenities were well-stocked with individual sachets of shampoo, body soap, conditioner, etc., plus a toothbrush and instant coffee, which was more than enough. It's a bit far from the city center, but I liked that it offered a more local feel.

Guest UserThe room was spotless and well-stocked with amenities. The hotel staff at the front desk were very kind. There were some mornings where I'd be woken up by noise or loud conversations in the hallway, but overall it was a comfortable stay. On my last day, as I was about to check out and leave the room, I found my auto-locked door had been opened, and was slightly ajar. This was about an hour and a half before check-out time. Since there was only one door separating my room from the hallway, I had no idea how long it had been open. As a solo traveler, I found this quite frightening.

Anonymous UserThe hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! 👍 The only downside is that the room is a bit small. The front desk staff speak English, and the cleanliness is decent; I always bring my own disposables anyway. Myeongdong is right downstairs, with large Olive Young beauty stores and CU convenience stores. Shopping and dining are incredibly convenient. If you turn left out of the hotel, Myeongdong Station Exit 5 is a 1-minute walk. If you turn right, Lotte Duty-Free and Shinsegae Duty-Free, along with department stores, are less than a 10-minute walk away. The subway and taxis are also super convenient nearby. The 6015 airport limousine bus goes directly to the hotel! 👍👍👍

Sophia.TWe had a pleasant stay at Weco Stay Gangnam and found the location very convenient for getting around.
We actually had to book an extra night before our original check-in date. Communication was mainly through text messages, and although they were able to combine our two bookings, the communication wasn’t always very clear. This may have been because some of the communication was through an AI chat system.
We arrived very early in the morning and initially found check-in a little difficult, mainly because we hadn’t read the instructions carefully beforehand. Once we understood the process, checking into the room using the door code was straightforward.
We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment. One bedroom had two single beds and a walk-in wardrobe, which was great for storage. The other bedroom had a queen-size bed, although this room was quite tight and there wasn’t really anywhere to store luggage, so we had to leave it outside the room. The queen room also had a tinted sliding glass door rather than a solid door, so there wasn’t much privacy as you could see into the living and kitchen area.
The bathroom was a good size and well equipped with everything we needed, including towels, hand towels, a bath mat, shampoo, conditioner and a hairdryer. The only downside was that the toilet was in the same room as the bathroom.
The apartment was completely self-contained, which we really liked. There was no daily housekeeping or need for anyone to enter the apartment during our stay, so it felt very private and there was no disruption. One thing to be aware of is that guests are responsible for disposing of their own rubbish. This needs to be taken down to the basement and separated into the different recycling categories, including bottles, cans, paper and plastic. It wasn’t a major issue, but it is something to be aware of when staying here.
The location was definitely one of the highlights. Namba Bus Terminal Line 3 and Secho Line 2 were both within walking distance, making it easy to get around. There were also plenty of convenience stores, cafés and restaurants nearby, as well as Daiso, Olive Young and a pharmacy, which was very convenient during our stay.
Another nice touch was that we were able to arrange a late checkout for an additional two hours for 20,000 won, which was very convenient and appreciated as it gave us a little extra time before leaving.
Overall, Weco Stay Gangnam was a comfortable and convenient option, particularly for the location and having two bedrooms. There were a few things that could be improved, particularly clearer communication and better privacy and luggage storage in the smaller bedroom, but we really enjoyed having a self-contained apartment and the privacy that came with it. Overall, we had a good stay and would consider staying here again.
