Bad location, good hotel”

For the price I got, it was pretty cheap for a decent hotel that feels like a 4 star hotel. There's a gym with a great view, a nice lobby with comfy sofas, and the toilets are big and comfortable. But Gongdeok is not really a good mrt station to stay near too. There's not much around and I had to end trips early just to come back before the train service ended.

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!

Couldn't have asked for a better value-for-money option”

Very comfortable stay, the room was rather spacious and very clean. Intricately designed as well. Location was good, about a 3-minute walk from the subway station. Close to convenience store (just at the ground floor) and other restaurants.

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

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.

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.

Not worth it.”

No no no. Ive tried all the other hotels around gongdeok station and this was the worst one for the price. Customer service was pretty bad and maids on the hall are so loud in the morning like everyday. Room condition was not good either!

Was all good until day of check out”

This would have been a perfect stay other than my interaction with the desk clerk on check out (check in was awesome). I wound up after my stay with more than I could pack in my bag, so I ask if they had a box. She answered rudely and curtly, "no we would not have that." As if that would have been a perfectly normal assumption and I was positively stupid for asking. I was instructed to check with the convenience store. They of course had no large boxes. I took everything by paper bag to the airport where I found a service to box it up, which was excellent. Overall I would recommend the property, just don't ask for -- a box. The café was also closed the only day I chose to use it at noon. Room was clean, nice and the shower was excellent.

almost good”

The woman staff I don't remember her name... Maybe Ms. Soffie was so kindly for us. We are not business stay but location was also good for us. Only 2things we felt uncomfortable were clean staff and man staff. 1. We forgot to push the cleaning botten and asked for staff to clean our room. The man staff was unkindly asked us what time would we come back. 2. The clean staff cleaned up our room but bed seats were not new one. There was still stains that my buddy put on it yesterday. Nice hotel but clean up was not enough for us.

convenient location with nice food nearby”

convenient location near airport bus stop about 10minutes. staff were pleasant, convenience store just at the hotel ground level, near to gongdoek station, 5 minutes walk to an office buidling with awesome chinese/korean food restaurant in its basement.

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.

Very good”

can't control the air conditioner and the room is hot that i have to open the window.

Great bang for your buck but...”

My room had a really strange smell. I didn't know where it was coming from and a concierge told me they were fully booked so I was stuck in my room. Other than that this hotel was a great place to stay. It was near a lot of restaurants and the lines 5 and 6 as well as near many bus stations including the airport limousine bus stop. Also, taking a taxi going to and from pretty much anywhere to and from this hotel was pretty inexpensive which a perk for me also. They also do currency exchange here which is great. You get a little less back than if you go to a currency exchange store but it's extremely convenient especially if you're like me and wait until the last minute to exchange.

Good”

Location is very convenient.

spacious”

bright and cozy bed, convenient location at an interchange

Comfortable Stay !”

Stylish hotel with good location, nice staffs, clean and neat room, 24 hrs 7-11 just next to the hotel. BTW don’t forget to try the lunch buffet in 2nd floor, it’s really good.

Excellent”

Convenient and excellent location, 3 mins walk from Gongdeo Station exit 1, 50mins REX directly from airport. 7-11 right at door and Emart nearby exit 7. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The room is cozy and clean but no fan or a/c during changing season, felt stuffy even keeps the window opened at all time. Toiletries won't refill unless you ask EVERYDAY. I fully understand and support “green environmental" however, I'd like them refilled when its finished. Other than that, strongly recommend.

Clean modern hotel”

The hotel is located very near to the metro Gongdeok. Easily accessible. The check in and out were smooth. Nothing to shout about. The room design was really a nice touch and sleek modern design. I was not able to try their facilities but its located at the top floor, it would have been really nice. But it's price is on the high end and my stay did not include breakfast. The breakfast add on would have been USD20.

Highly recommend ”

Excellent services, fast check in/out. location is good. the area is surrounded by Cheery Blossom and restaurants. Room is clean and new. Gym Room at the top floor has the best view of the hotel.

Great location - and clean”

You can take lines 5,6 and the Incheon Airport express from here. Great little market where you can get some savory Korean snacks. Hotel is still relatively new, so pretty clean with good quality amenities.
