Beautiful location proximity to market restaurants shopping. They have complimentary bus service to drop near by popular shops and restaurants. Rooms are well maintained clean and fresh
The staff are very polite always ready to help and smiling it is all 5 star service. Glad we opted to stay there for 6 days
I love the shilla! Beautiful hotel and wonderful service. Enjoyed all my meals at their in-house restaurants. My only disappointment is their offer of shilla shuttle to the myeong-do area -- they don't actually have it. They said they sometimes do not offer the service...no guarantee. Why offer this service on the hotel description if the hotel doesn't guarantee it. No one could explain it to me.
One of the best hotels in Korea. Breakfast was absolutely amazing! Swimming pool was so fun and they did outdoor concert for swimmers. It was so fun. The Room was well maintained and clean. We stayed during the hot summer but the blanket was heavy, seemed for winter. Toiletries are not complimentary.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was very courteous. The room are great and the breakfast is fantastic
The staff was wonderful! Issac, Johnny and Hailee were wonderful accommodating and so attentive Answered all my questions and helped me with everything I needed. The property is 2 minutes from the train by shuttles and the location cant be beat. I would absolutely stay again.
This is a beautiful property with exceptionally friendly staff and excellent food. The location is perfect, very convenient and easy to get around. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again!
One of the best 5-star hotels I’ve stayed at: excellent service to help us book taxis / translate as we don’t speak Korean and top-tier amenities for saunas, pools, gyms with many racks to support my health needs! Not to mention the breakfast was so goooood as it is a Michelin restaurant… Will definitely come back!
The gym is the best I’ve found in a hotel in Seoul. Proper squat rack if not a hexbar
Completely ridiculous that you’re paying that price and you go downstairs and they tell you you can’t get a set at the buffet. Big red flag. The buffet is amazing. Their system is wack
Staying on the executive floor give you access to exquisite food that you will not find in any other hotel executive lounge. You don’t even have to go to dinner at night after attending happy hour in the lounge. Everything is so elegant and the staff is so attentive. Best executive lounge ever!!!
