Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun (Myeongdong)

👍 = convenient location, surrounded with a lots of local goods and near to bus stop&metro stations. Walking distance (15mins) to myeongdong streets. Full sets of L'occitant for use. 👎 = central control air conditioning, the control panel in the room won't adjust based on your desired temperature. Mostly temps will be at 23 ~ 25 degrees celcius, one night it went up to 26 🔥 we had difficulty to sleep at first.. Only plastic cups prepared, which were not sustainable and not standard, we bought a set of cups by ourselves for hot drinks.

The location is in walking distance to many metro stations so it’s very convenient. The room is clean and the service is good. However, the are too few outlet in the room. We stay in 3 person room and there’re only 5 sockets (3 locations) excluding the one in the toilet so it’s a little inconvenient.

Location is good but the hotel is very old. Carpet in corridors is wrinkled everywhere, makes very difficult to move with luggage. We came to breakfast at 9:31 and the waiter didn’t allowed us to enter saying that Business hours was over. Very bad experience. Never return to that hotel

We stayed at Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun for 3 days and 2 nights, and later booked another 2 days and 1 night after our staycation at Nami Island. • Front desk service: The staff spoke English well and were very accommodating. They kindly allowed us to store our luggage during our Nami Island trip since we had another booking at the same hotel. • Room quality: The room was clean and spacious. However, I personally didn’t like the wooden floor—it felt a bit uncomfortable to walk on without room slippers. • Location: The hotel is centrally located in the city, within walking distance to Bukchon Hanok Village and Gyeongbokgung Palace, and close to several subway stations. • Food options nearby: Plenty of choices, from traditional Korean BBQ to fast food like Burger King. Just note that many restaurants close around 9–10 PM. ✨ Overall: A convenient city hotel with friendly staff, good service, and easy access to major attractions. The luggage storage service was especially helpful for our trip planning.

Room was unexpectedly big. Stayed with my daughter and it was pleasant. Location is conveniently located close to Gwanghwamum & Jonggak. There were plenty of food around the area too. We will definitely go back there to stay :

Very good location to stay for families and walk around to see all the places.

Good location and good service during check in. Easy to access and good food nearby

Convenient location, 2 mins to train station, good location for taxi pick up. Saw a baby cockroach on the last day of our stay, otherwise clean.

The hotel is super nice. Convenient location and clean. Room is quite spacious at its price.
