Great hotel in a great location. We were able to explore every night and find new things to do. Very close to a number of subway options which make transport around Seoul so much easier. Would recommend to anyone wanting the convenience of Seoul at your fingertips

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be perfectly fine overall. The location is good and convenient, and I booked the room at a reduced price. However, even with the discount, I’m not entirely sure it was worth the money. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean, but there was nothing particularly special or memorable about the stay. Unfortunately, the view from my window overlooked pipework and trash at the back of the building, which was disappointing. Breakfast was fine, decent selection and quality but again, nothing that stood out. Overall, I feel there are other hotels in Seoul offering similar quality for a lower price. Given the reputation of the Shilla brand, I was expecting a bit more in terms of experience and value.

Nothing stood out except the location. The room condition, breakfast, and furniture were all mediocre. The old, noisy bidet needs to be replaced. The woobly bathtub must be fixed, as it poses a safety risk, and the flooring clearly shows an area that requires repair. The room condition does not meet the standard of care expected for guests. The experience did not live up to the “Shila” brand.
