The Shilla Seoul

Cozy room

Bad odor at bathtub

The Staff is very helpful. The hotel has many high class restaurants including a three Michelin star Restaurant 'La Yeon' based on Korean Cuisine, all-day open buffet 'The Parkview' with a marvelous scenery and 'The Library Restaurant' which serve delicious food until 12:00 a.m. and you can also listen to live performance when drinking or eating something. (Those are the facilities I tried during my stay,so I can only write about them; however there are many more restaurants serving different cuisines such as French and Japan). Location of the hotel is really good. It is close to the subway station of Dongguk University, so you can easily go to anywhere you want without having problem. The views of the rooms are marvelous. (My room has a view of N Seoul Tower)

The only thing I may criticize is that the outdoor pool is not included for all Hotel guests and you need to pay extra to use it. As the outdoor pool is one of the best in Seoul, you will probably accept to pay for the pool; however it still sounds a bit strange as I have never been obliged to pay before to use the pool in any hotels I have stayed.

Room 6 out of 5 stars. Perfect. Shower, bed, curtains, lighting are out of this world. The services are great. The house cleaning lady visits me at least twice a day to ask if I need anything. Price is amazing compared to quality. Location is good, near metro station and myeongdong.

You have to go up maybe 80 stairs to reach the hotel. Check out took long time. Room service didn’t have a lot of options.

Quiet location close to a park, not far from a metro station. Good breakfast, comfortable and well-decorated room

The breakfast room was a bit crowded, but the staff dealt with it quite well. The ventilation in the room was too strong
