Top Seoul Hotel Reviews

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

10/10 Excellent
"The Shilla Soedaemun is at the highest end of budget and none the worse for that. Breakfast is pretty good with Western and Korean options. Room are a little on the small side but quite serviceable - we found there was ample room for two. The metro station outside gives good access to Seoul’s sights, but the hotel is 20 minutes walk away from Seoul Station and there is no easy metro connection - it took us 55 minutes on the metro, most of which was spent walking from one line to another . The hotel’s “Seoul staton” monicker is very misleading"
