Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun (Myeongdong)

Ook al maak je het niet grondig schoon, besteed toch aandacht aan de sokken, want ze zijn zichtbaar.

Wauw, het is Shilla Hotel, maar ik snap het echt niet. De kamer is zo klein en het bed valt op de grond als je het omdraait... Ik had gereserveerd omdat ik mijn vriend één nacht wilde laten logeren toen hij op zakenreis was, maar ze vielen allebei in één nacht op de grond. We waren allebei geschokt en verbijsterd toen we de deur openden. Het was echt te veel. Wiens geld valt er uit de lucht? Het is erger dan 50.000 won op *******. Ik had er echt vertrouwen in en had gereserveerd, maar mijn voeten doen pijn. 170.000 won is ook niet goedkoop. Ik ben helemaal teleurgesteld. Ik wil hier nooit meer verblijven.

Goede waterdruk. Comfortabel beddengoed. Betaalbare prijs. Vriendelijk personeel.

De netheid viel wat tegen.

Ik heb goed uitgerust~

👍 = convenient location, surrounded with a lots of local goods and near to bus stop&metro stations. Walking distance (15mins) to myeongdong streets. Full sets of L'occitant for use. 👎 = central control air conditioning, the control panel in the room won't adjust based on your desired temperature. Mostly temps will be at 23 ~ 25 degrees celcius, one night it went up to 26 🔥 we had difficulty to sleep at first.. Only plastic cups prepared, which were not sustainable and not standard, we bought a set of cups by ourselves for hot drinks.

The location is in walking distance to many metro stations so it’s very convenient. The room is clean and the service is good. However, the are too few outlet in the room. We stay in 3 person room and there’re only 5 sockets (3 locations) excluding the one in the toilet so it’s a little inconvenient.

Location is good but the hotel is very old. Carpet in corridors is wrinkled everywhere, makes very difficult to move with luggage. We came to breakfast at 9:31 and the waiter didn’t allowed us to enter saying that Business hours was over. Very bad experience. Never return to that hotel

We stayed at Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun for 3 days and 2 nights, and later booked another 2 days and 1 night after our staycation at Nami Island. • Front desk service: The staff spoke English well and were very accommodating. They kindly allowed us to store our luggage during our Nami Island trip since we had another booking at the same hotel. • Room quality: The room was clean and spacious. However, I personally didn’t like the wooden floor—it felt a bit uncomfortable to walk on without room slippers. • Location: The hotel is centrally located in the city, within walking distance to Bukchon Hanok Village and Gyeongbokgung Palace, and close to several subway stations. • Food options nearby: Plenty of choices, from traditional Korean BBQ to fast food like Burger King. Just note that many restaurants close around 9–10 PM. ✨ Overall: A convenient city hotel with friendly staff, good service, and easy access to major attractions. The luggage storage service was especially helpful for our trip planning.
