Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

8/10 Good
"Stay was comfortable and the hotel is well located. The rooms are quite old and some upgrading works are needed. Overall it has been a good stay. However, beware that staying here in summer can be a struggle as they do not allow your air conditioning to drop below 24°C. They use central cooling and so our rooms were feeling really stuffy and warm."

10/10 Excellent
"Really impressed with this hotel. It’s central - east walk to City Hall Metro stn and 15-20 min walk the Myendong and Insadong. The staff are soooo accommodating- nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are cleaned daily with towels refreshed and the fridge restocked with cold bottled water. The restaurant is also very good if you want and eat in option. We flew out in the evening and as it was the middle summer and we’d spent the day walking around town they kindly allowed us to use the shower in the pool area to refresh before we headed out to catch our flight. GREAT VALUE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😊"

8/10 Good
"Very nice and friendly staff. They all lead with speaking English. A lot of non Koreans there. Reasonably priced buffet breakfast for a good spread. Gym is tiny - one chest press, dumbbells, two treadmills, water bubbler. Rooms relatively small but nicely furnished. Best water pressure in shower. Would recommend but on the pricier side"
