Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun (Myeongdong)

4 nights 950usd. So its almost 250usd per night. No breakfast included. The floor looks 10 years old. When you shower the whole bathroom gets wet because there is no curtain or door. The shower head is on the wrong fittings so it just comes down as you are showering, cheap shower fittings. We went out at 9am and came back at 5pm and the room still hadn't been cleaned, so we had to go and ask them to clean the room. The AC is controlled by the hotel, so sometimes its a nice temperature, sometimes its 25⁰ and there is nothing you can do. The finish of the hotel is more like 100usd per night, but you pay for the convenience of being in Central Seoul. Lucky we only lightly packed with 1 suitcase for 2 people because that already took all the room in the tiny room. Personally wouldn't come back here again. I think the price is way over the actual room quality. I would recommend to the owners to spend some of the money they over charge on making the rooms worth 250usd a night!

👍 = 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.

Good stay. Good good stay. Good good good very good

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.
