Value for money in a off-pitch location (but never the less, well situated)”

I like Shilla Stay Seocho despite the slightly off-pitch location of the hotel. Its a short 5 - 8 minute walk from the airport bus stop and also a 10-15 minutes (depends on how fast you walk) distance to the Gangnam subway station. The hotel has a minimalistic interior which looks sleek and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are generally and they do speak english. I had the unfortunate experience of having been discriminated slightly for actually not being a foreigner at the reception by one of the hotel front desk staff which I thought was quite annoying. Overall, I would still stay here as its very good value for money.

Great Location & Excellent Service”

As the title says, it's a great location (7 min walk from Yangjae Station - 15-17 min walk from Gangnam Station). We stayed a week plus since my friend was having surgery and the place has everything around. Gym was great (for a hotel gym) and is open early and closes late. Minor things that weren't deal breakers, but definitely made us go "Huh... that's odd?" 1) The bathroom has one light (no dimmer / softer lights) - so if you're going to use the bathroom at night, expect to be woken up. 2) The thermostat (no matter what we did) never really gave us control of the room temp. 3) The thermostat acts like a mini nightlight, which you cannot turn off (unless you want to turn off the fan / ac) 4) It's one of those rooms where there is a slider to separate the sleeping quarters from the hallway/bathroom... except then there is a large glass wall that allows you to look into the bathroom. When travelling with friends, this made for hilarious stories, but does tend to wear thin

Great location and clean room! ”

I came to Seoul for a business trip. Shilla Stay is a great location and has many cafes and local Korean restaurants around its area. Room is very clean. Gym is great as well!

Forgettable experience”

This hotel had its grand opening on 1 April 2017. So when booked it in March, there were no reviews to check out. So I booked it on good faith since Shilla Stay is well known. I checked in on 5 April, expecting some excitement from new hotel opening. The hotel itself was fine. Neat, modern and clean. The body towels in the room were flaky, leaving bits on my hair and body. Possible because it's still new? No complimentary welcome drink or breakfast in conjunction with the grand opening. Not even a single chocolate piece. All this could be forgiven if at least the service was friendly. However the staff at reception were quite a let down. No smiles during check in or check out. No smiles when we asked for an umbrella and directions for airport bus. Maybe they were not pleased to speak English. Also, they could hv been more specific and mentioned that the airport bus stop is actually in the middle of the road.

Highly recommended”

We really liked this hotel. The guy at the parking was very very gentle and even though he was older his English was very understandable. All the staff was very nice and their English was very very good and trust me most hotels in Korea doesn't have English speakers. The room was kind of small but is enough for two people. The bathroom, the gym and the restaurant were clean and perfect. Also the location was perfect. There is a train station close, the Gangnam Downtown is like two miles walking Love, love, love

Clean and cozy”

I loved my stay at Shilla Stay. You have to walk about 7-10 min to get to the subway but you can also get on the bus right in front of the hotel. A lot of places to eat around in that area.

Shilla Stay has high expectations”

Great clean and modern hotel. New facility which matches the Shilla Stay expectations (high standards).

House keeping need improvement ”

Went to Seoul to attend a wedding, this hotel was recommended by the bride so quite a few of us stayed there. Great value for the room, clean contemporary decor. Location is good, nice coffee shop and 24 hours restaurants across the street. We were very unhappy with the bath towels, stayed 4 nights 3 days we got dirty bath towels. One day house keeping forgot to replace hand towels. We asked an inexperienced staff to help us book taxi to airport, she was unable to tell us the price which should be flat rate. The senior staff did not attempt to help, we end up booking with another source.

Meh...”

I was disappointed. I know it is a chain for Hotel Shilla, thought this place would be as nice. The rooms were very tiny, but amenities were good. In the future, I'd stay at this business hotel for the value of money. This location was a bit of walk from metro stations.

Good location and very clean”

Very good hotel to stay for the money, clean and excellent location in the heart of Gangnam.

Clean & Comfortable”

Pro - Other than being clean & comfortable, there are restaurants, a local super market & 24-hr convenient outlets within walking distance. The bus-stop (including for the airport bus 6009) is also near. Con - For subways, its abt a 15-minute walk to Yangjae Subway Station/ 17-minute walk to Gangnam Subway Station.

Good with some walking to metro”

Decent 4 star hotel. In between 2 metro stations (10-15min walk to Gangnam station; 5-10min walk to Yangjae station) but near to airport bus stop. If arriving by taxi, please provide address as the hotel is relatively new and the taxi will enter from the back of hotel. Had a free rental phone with free internet and free international calls to bring out with me during my stay which was supposedly a newly launched service in Nov. House keeping can be improved as some items were not topped up. Fridge in very small without freezer compartment. A lot of eateries around the hotel. There's a nice pork rib/bone soup next to the hotel that is 24 hours but with only Korean menu.

New hotel at reasonable price”

New hotel, helpful staff and good service. Located in Gangnam but quite far away from subway station.

Nice staff with room ”

The location isn't the best place in the Gangnam area but the room condition and staff are nice.

very clean”

It was very clean! t is near Gangnam Station and convenient for transportation. There was a McDonald's near here, so it was great for breakfast.

Best business hotel”

I recommend this hotel for travelers who want to look around Gangnam place.

Perfect”

Great hotel, only stayed here for one night but you can tell that the hotel is a great standard as soon as you walk through the doors. Rooms do not disappoint either, nice bathroom, comfy bed, desk, ironing facilities. Will definitely use this hotel again

Clean and reasonable price ”

One of best business hotel in Gangnam area.

Nice place to stay in Gangnam”

Very clean and fresh, decent size, good gym. Staff are helpful. Short walk away from Gangnam station.

Nice hotel in Gangnam area”

New hotel, everything was sparkling clean. Staff can be more proactive. Had problem reaching this hotel by taxi on multiple occassions as the hotel is too new to be found on GPS system, otherwise no major problems during our stay.
