Shilla Stay Hotels in Seoul

Overall, I had a pleasant stay here with my senior parents. We loved the amenities of the bathroom. The toilet came with japanese functions and it was useful for my parents. The location was near the guro digital complex station. It is not in the center of the touristy spots but being on the green line is convenient enough to bring you to most places. We loved the surrounding areas which had a wide selection of food places and they were generally affordable and of great quality. A few misses for us were the lack of ceramic mugs to hold hot water. Instead, they had given us paper cups on the first night but you would have to request if you like them to be replenished. The description of the room amenities and layout in trip.com were not accurate with the room that we were assigned to. Our room was supposed to come with a sofa but it did not come with it. They also requested for a credit card to be put on hold in case of damages. For this requirement, it is not stated upon booking with trip.com that this was needed. The staff noted our feedback but there wasn't much they could do about it. This would be a good place to stay if you do not mind traveling a little further to touristy spots.

Location is great as it is walking distance from two metro stations (about 20 minutes to the Gangnam Station or 15 minutes to Yangjae Station) and has many restaurants nearby. A good hotel as long as you are not expecting luxury, and we have no issues with the cleanliness, room size, service, breakfast, gym, price, etc. We always request for a humidifier if we visit Korea in the winter because of the dryness, and the hotel has no problem providing one promptly. All in all, a solid choice if you want to stay in the Gangnam area.

We stayed for 3 nights and the place was wonderful! This was our last stay in 5-week travel including trekking in Nepal so we had an enormous amount of luggage. The staff was so kind and helpful letting us check in early and check out late free of charge, helped moving the luggage up and down the place. The lunch buffet was reasonably priced and full of choices. The room was clean and simple. The location was central (about 8-10 min walk to a few subway stations which were pleasant) and surprisingly quiet at night. Highly recommend it!

Shilla Stay Mapo is strategically situated less than a 5-minute walk from Gongdeok Station / Mapo Station, providing easy access to public transportation. Its proximity to various restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores makes it an ideal choice for travelers looking to explore the local culinary scene. Additionally, popular attractions like Hongdae and Gyeongbokgung Palace are just a short drive away. 7-11 is just right next to hotel's 1/F back entrance, very convenient for emergency snack boost and water supply. Cons will be: bed is a bit too soft, not suitable for everyone.

I checked in late but the reception staff was well accommodating. The room temperature was warm enough against the sheer cold outside. The room was also clean and tidy. Highly recommended and might book again should my trip be situated near the hotel.

Good and conveninent . But I have not used the facilities. The coffee bar is too small for a short meeting or talk.

Honestly very happy with Shilla Stay. It was right on top of the metro entrance, and breakfast was really nice. Will definitely come back here as the location is ideal and the room was solid.
