"It was a great place to rest! So many places to visit within walking distance! Also, there is a washer and a drying rack where you can clean your clothing! As well as a mini kitchen if you want to stay in for the night. Absolutely loved it here!!!"
"It was great to have breakfast in the hotel and the location is convenient to many shopping malls. And the airport bus stop is right in front of the hotel "
"Very clean facility, close to seoul central market and sindang station (5 min). For the location, price and the giant tub, definitely worth the price!! Clarify all check in details in advance and you won’t encounter any issues."
"It was a very nice hotel as the word of mouth did! The hotel staff was also very friendly, kind and comfortable. The room was beautiful, the bed was large, the windows were in two directions, and it was very bright, and the shower was so comfortable that I wanted to stay in the room forever😄 I would like to use this again next time."
"Friendly staff, had a great time during my stay. Very convenient for transit and the Kwangjang Market closeby has a lot of great food options. Free breakfast was also a plus."
"I have stayed at this hotel several times on business trips. It has good transport access and is bright all night long, so I recommend it for those who plan to visit the night market. It's a shame that the facilities are a little outdated, but overall it's a good hotel."

The Shilla Seoul
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property. Lovely old hotel near the entrance, with a nice garden path around the property."
"Staff is very helpful. Place is like an apartment, was super impressed, even has its washer and dryer. Ubers and taxis can get to it super easy. Two blocks walking and there’s a bunch of restaurants and bars. Very safe hotel. "
"Just a quick walk away from all the hustle of Myeongdong street! Great authentic restaurants nearby with lots of locals. Our family had a great time here."

10/10 Excellent
"The location is great, easy to get to many places by walking or take public transportation. The staff here are helpful and friendly. Overall I enjoyed my stay here. "
"Very friendly, professional, and accomodating staff. I stayed in a single-bed room (as a solo traveler) for 5 nights. Worked for me as I was out exploring the area most of the time. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to parks and shopping malls. It's also about 15 minutes from Meongdong, which I didn't know upon booking the room. Meongdong is a fun touristy place to walk around and try street food.
The single rooms in the hotel are quite compact, so if you are planning to travel with others and/or be inside for lengthy periods, perhaps opt for a larger space. Still, I was very comfortable--bed, bathroom, shower etc. all was well-kept and clean. I also paid for breakfast each morning at a very reasonable price. They offer buffet style with many options. I am vegetarian and was able to get my fill of eggs, fruit...and coffee.
I will plan to stay here again when back in the area. Many thanks. "
