great location with many restaurants”
Best way to get to this hotel from airport is to take Airport express bus and walk about 5 mins to hotel. Very convenient location and safe to walk alone even after midnight. I could easily find places to eat around the hotel. Gyeongbokgung Palace, Insadong shopping street and Bukchon Hanok Village are only 5 to 10 minutes walk away Starbucks next to the hotel is perfect for me. Train station is about 2mins walk. I arrived very early and unfortunately the room was not available, but the hotel staff was kind to allow me to deposit my luggage with them. The room was very clean and smell good. Good size gym.

Fantastic hotel in great location”
The hotel seems pretty new, rooms and all the facilities are in excellent condition. Rooms are nicely appointed and comfortable. Location might seem odd as it is in a side street however most sights and shopping areas can be reached by food within a 20 min walk. Insadong, Myonddong, the palaces etc is all not too far. A great base location to explore the area. Also, there isa Starbucks on the ground floor and quite a few restaurants and cafes within a 5 min walk. Can highly recommend.

Very comfortable, great location ”
We have lived in Korea for several years and have stayed in a handful of different hotels and resorts. Shilla had the most comfortable bed of any place we have stayed in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Amazing views, very clean room, and location is great. Will definitely stay here again, should we get the opportunity and recommend for friends.

Best location ”
I have stayed different hotels in Seoul and this one was the best in terms of its location, very near to all the tourist attractions and good restaurants in the old town Seoul. It is also very clean. The room and the equipments are simple but efficient, so you have everything you need. I think I would stay again when I am back in Seoul.

Cozy and Comfortable”
The room is cozy, OK small but perfectly adequate. The shower room was as good as I've ever had in a five star hotel. Many of the tourist attractions of Seoul are within walking distance and there are two subway stations close by too. The hotel appears themed for Koreans in that there is no milk for the tea or coffee! But there are a couple of English language channels on the TV. As the internet connections are excellent I was able to stream English language news programs on my phone and screen share them to the room's large smart TV. Very satisfied with my stay.

Great hotel! ”
The website gives information on how to get to the hotel from the airport. It was easy taking the limo bus to the hotel. The staff were kind and helpful. They held on to our luggage after check out on our last day which allowed us more sightseeing before our late night flight. The location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go in Seoul. I would definitely stay there again.
