Hongji-dong Trip

The room was clean, staffs were so nice, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. Really enjoyed the stay. Very close from Guro digital station(line2) -5mins on foot. Airport limousine bus was also very nearby 2-3mins walking distance. Highly recommend Shilla stay!!!

Rooms were a lot bigger then others in Seoul. Beautiful, lots of space, comfy beds. The property was fantastic. No plug ins by the beds though! The breakfast wasn't included and it was pretty expensive but a very extensive buffet.

Overall, this is a good choice for staying in Myeongdong as it is just across the street from where the concentration of shops begin. The room we booked with two beds (one single and double bed) was a little tight for our group of 3 but we were still able to find space to lay out our 3 large luggages. The staff very are friendly and helpful. The check-in for me was a little confusing because the reception desk is not on the same floor as the main entrance and since I arrived late on the day of check in, I did not immediately know where to go. Normally there would be someone at the entrance bell desk, but because I arrived late, I guess they don't have anyone there at those later hours. It would help to have after hours signage. My only other complaint would be the gym. Although, I appreciate that they at least have one, the equipment was limited and dated. With everything said, I would still stay here again because of the location and friendly staff.

Great location and friendly staff

The location is few blocks from Myeong Dang and feels safe to walk to the evening bazaars. The room is small. Hardly any space to walk on the side of the bed. I had to get on bed from bottom of bed. There is really no lobby. There is no coffee facility in room either. The check out time extension is charged by the hour. If your visit falls on Sunday and Monday no museums are open and they can not book you for DMZ due to marathons etc. That is what the only one person at desk told me. She did not know much about town or events.
