Clean and value for money stay ”

Shilla Stay Mapo is very easy to find, 5min walk from train station exit 1 and if you take taxi, drivers know this hotel, you don't have to show address or map. Room is small, not very new but very clean. However, location is not convenient for shopping and eating. If you like to shop at Hongdae or Dongdaemun or Myeongdong and thinking it's not far away, you are wrong! Although it's just 1 stop away from Hongdae, but you have to walk inside the train station for 10-15min at least, so to go to Hongdae, it takes you almost 30min! Can you imagine?! I have no complains about this hotel, their staff is super friendly and helpful but I will not stay again because of the location. I want to put my shopping stuff back to hotel and go out again, or I could do last min shopping like in Myeongdong, apparently with Shilla Stay Mapo, I cannot. In future, I will choose to stay at Hongdae or Myongdong.

Great brand, great experience”

I have stayed at the other branches of Shilla Stay, so I had a trust. The room was exceptionally clean and the staff was very professional and kind. The location was perfect as I had a meeting in Hapjeong area. Only had a very brief breakfast but the buffet looked very decent. If you're looking for somewhere along with 6 line or around Hongdae/Hapjeong area, I highly reccommend Shilla Stay Mapo.

Super great location”

Only few steps to Donggeok station exit 1. You can easily get to many famous attractions such as: busy Meoydong, Royal Palace..... Surrounded by many Korean restaurants and cafe shops included the Ox soup restaurant opposite Shilla stay. There is also Lotte Food centre nearby where you can get fresh juicy fruits and many kinds of snack. The only thing just the size of the room a bit small. Highly recommend Shilla stay Mapo.

review for staying on 12-15feb2018”

breakfast was not included, the receptionist wrote my room number as it looks like 1717 but actually she wrote 717 (lost in translation in written. lol.) overall the place is really nice, there is 7eleven shop attached just next door, very convenient to buy light meals, tmoney for trains/buses, sim card and also hot packs for chilly weather (was around -10 to -3 °celcius in midst of february) very close to Gongdeok Metro Station (line 6) hopefully can stay there again in the future! gamsa hamnida Shilla Stay Mapo and Agoda!

Best Budget Hotel Brand in Korea”

The room was clean and comfortable, with all necessary amenities and facilities. The interior of the room and building was simple and modern, just like any other Shilla Stay hotels. Gym is located on the top floor, so enjoyed work out with the view. One improvement point is, requested high-floor room in advance but was not taken care of without any notice. It could have been better if they had sent me a message prior to arrival or explained to me during check-in. Despite this, always satisfactory to stay at Shilla Stay

Super great location”

Only few steps to Gongdeok station. 15 mins to get to busy Myeodong area. Easy acess to many attractions. Shilla stay is right in the heart of Mapo surrouded by so many local high rating restaurant. Highly recomend Shilla Stay Mapo.

Great option for business travelers”

This hotel is located in an upscale business district in Seoul and is designed to cater to international travelers. This is not the place to stay if you’re interested in a Korean-feeling experience, look, but is the place to stay if you want convenience and centrality. Subway stops are really close by. The front desk staff is very professional and speak pretty good English. There’s a large comfortable lobby and a 7-Eleven next door, well-stocked with alcohol. The rooms are quite lovely—like other hotels I stayed in in Seoul, the entire room is automated and starts working once you insert your room key in the wall socket. This one was even more automated than others, with light sensors tracking what part of the room you were in. I had an incredible view of a valley of shorter buildings surrounded by skyscrapers. The bed was firm, like all the beds I experienced in Seoul, although this one was maybe a touch softer, which was nice. There was a TV. There were the standard slippers and robe

Comfortable Beds”

Believe it or not, when people tell you that the beds at Shilla Stay are comfortable, it is! I would definitely go back to Shilla Stay. It's clean, friendly, and affordable! The only issues I had were the air condition wasn't blowing much cool air and there was no ventilation. Other then that, it was a good 4 days and 3 nights! Thank you!

Good location, nice hotel stay”

I was in Seoul for my business trip but managed to do some shopping due to the good location of the hotel near the Gongdeok subway, 2-3 mins walk away. It is easy accessible via KTA from Incheon Airport. 7-11 is just one door away from the hotel. Hotel room and bathroom are both clean with Aveda toiletries, bathrobes and room slippers. The only flop is the hotel breakfast with little variety and during my 4 days stay, the spread is the same everyday. Nevertheless, I will still choose to stay in this hotel because of the good location.

Clean and near railway station ”

I will rate 9.8 for our stay here. The only thing is about the room temperature...As only warm air is available in winter season, somehow it was quite hot in the room. At the first night, the staff told us the only method is to open the window. It was not a bad solution however the air in Seoul city was very smokey with pollution that night, we decided to keep the window closed and not slept well. But problem had been solved in the next day, appreciated that a female staff sent a mobile fan to our room, she also helped to sent another one to my parents’ room, with prompt action. Overall this hotel is recommended and the service is good.

i don't know about service however location is the best one.”

This is my 3times to visit shilla stay mapo, usually get a room for business travels. Unfortunatley, when i wake up outside was really noise at all even that was at 7 am. Please make it quiet. I definately visit there again. Thanks.

Very Neat!”

I enjoyed my stay there! It's in the middle of Seoul and great location. I was able to take the subway and the location is about 100-200 meters from the entrance to the hotel. I even went for a run because the river is about 1km away. The hotel was clean, the staff was nice and overall, I had a pleasant trip. Also I had a car and I just drove up and removed my bags and they valet for you. Cost is only 5,000W. Compared to America, that's a steal! Good Stay!

Great Location and Accessible”

Very accessible by the train (Dong Geok Station) and it's walking distance from the train station. Staff very friendly and able to speak English. The hotel is eco-friendly, so you can decide whether you want the staff to wash your bedsheets or just do up your bed nicely. This is including the towels in your bathroom. Was a bit disappointed at first as the Standard Room Photos during the booking page, showed that their was a bathtub but in fact, it's only a shower. However, overall the room was good. The gym was good too. Laundry service is provide at a cost. Around the hotel, there are a lot of convenience stores, small cafes and restaurants. Worth the stay. Hope to come back here again.

Incredible! Just watch out for the shower.”

The entire room was incredible. It was beautiful, modern in its simplicity, had a great view from above on 마포구 streets, and the shower pressure was delightful. Be sure to insert your room key in the slot by the door to be able to turn on the lights (keep it a secret... it took me 10 minutes to figure that out on my own. I'd nearly resolved to staying in the dark). The setup of the shower is funny, though. The bathroom doesn't have a closing door, and the shower wall is glass. Also, there is a sliding pane that separates the shower from the rest of the room, and it can slide to reveal the shower and everything inside to the main room. It's a funny setup and made me laugh, and it didn't bother me because I was a solo traveler. Anyway the hotel lobby is cozy and comfortable, the staff is friendly and speak English well enough to help those uncomfortable with Korean, and the luggage check service is well organized. I adored my stay and I wish I could stay longer!

Exceptional”

The hotel is new and clean. There’s are a lot of tasty food stores nearby. We will definitely stay there again if we visit Seoul again

Seriously perfect.”

A room was a little bit smaller than other hotel but it was not a matter. The room was clean, facilities were already prepared, which are mostly required for short traveler. Also, staffs were really kind and they were all ears always. The location is perfect, the subway station heading for airport is 2 mins by foot and easy to go anywhere in Seoul.

Excellent”

Excellent location - Emart nearby, 3min walk from the subway. Coffee opposite the hotel, nearby various key attractions in Seoul. Definitely my favourite location to be living at. Cleanliness could be improved - coffee/drink stains found beside the bed that we wiped up, towels were not changed and sometimes forgotten; we had to call room service. Overall, great location and comfortable rooms. Great value for money and I will definitely stay here again.

Excellent Visit”

This place needs a GYM and Coin Laundry to support the travel needs. Also they can replace the cutlery with proper glasses instead of providing paper glasses to reflect Shilla brand status.

Great place to stay for groups or couples”

It is a very nice hotel that is centrally located. Easy to get to by Arex. It is the stop right before seoul station. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We would go back again.

A business hotel with tiny room”

The hotel is nearby Gongdeok subway station or Mapo subway station, which is very convenient to move around.
