Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station

Hotel is in a great location, right across the subway, and bus stop where airport limousine 6002 goes direct to Incheon international. From my room I could see the crossway which was pretty inspiring and such a romantic view. Bathroom had modern excellent facilities with smart bidet toilet. Bed and pillow felt ultra comfy too which lent for a good sleep. Front desk allowed us to check in a bit earlier than the designated hour for free, which was a pleasant surprise.

good breakfast overall.

Hotel provides all the facilities inside to be relaxed. Conditions are good, and price is also good. Staff is friendly. Everything is clean.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Shilla Stay Seodaemun from 22nd February to 30th March 2025. Yes, it was a bit of a long stay, and I can honestly say it felt like a home away from home in the heart of Seoul. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality, kindness, and genuine care shown by the staff, especially the incredible reception team, were beyond anything I expected. The mountain view from my room was so peaceful and grounding that it became part of my daily routine to pause and soak it in each morning. It brought such a sense of calm to my stay. Everything about this hotel is thoughtfully done: ✔️ Super convenient location (literally seconds from the metro) ✔️ Washing machine and gym on-site - lifesavers for a long stay ✔️ Delicious food at the restaurant - so scrumdiddly But truly, what made this place special was the people. One cleaner went so above and beyond to make me feel looked after, it honestly moved me. The whole team consistently made me feel like I mattered and made sure I felt welcomed and cared for. I also have to say: I have never slept so well in a hotel. Thank you, Shilla Stay Seodaemun. You gave me more than just a place to stay, and your team are such a credit to your brand and deserves all the flowers 💛

The buffet was great. Though breakfast finished at 9.30 am. during the week and 10 am. on weekends. When you're on holiday, you're out site, seeing all day, and get in late at night. And an extra 30 minutes to make breakfast end at 10 am like other hotels would have been better. When we arrived close to the finishing of breakfast, the staff were annoyed and made it very clear they were not happy. The staff at reception were so helpful and approachable.
