The Shilla is a laaaarge hotel. Massive lobby, lots of floors, section in the basement where you find shopping. Right next to Shilla is a taxfree megastore that's worth a visit. Beautifully decorated, service at your fingertips and from floor 4 and up, a magnificent view over Seoul! The breakfast restaurant will wow you, with everything your heart might desire,... More

Stayed here for business meeting. Arrived at the hotel with a shuttle bus from airport in the middle of rain and very cold wind. A bad impression since the staffs only standing there, not helping us to get the luggage or at least helping us with an umbrella. Good hotel located in perfect place. It is near Doota, the shopping... More

The Shilla is one of those unique hotels that has all the elements of a 5 6 and 7 star city hotel working to its advantage. It is traditional in its facade and design but inside it is completely contemporary modern and well appointed. I stayed for 4 nights and didn't want to leave the business trip. It was located...

I've stayed here before when in Seoul on business and the hotel has a lot going for it. The location is excellent being in the centre of town and the hotel itself is well maintained, very clean and smart, As are the rooms, but they are a little on the small side. The staff could not do more for you... More

My boy-friend brought me here by surprise for our 2nd year Anniversary, and it was splendid. The pool was definitely the best part. On a hot and humid day in Seoul, there was nothing better than to swim in Shilla's big, beautiful pooll. We must have spent half a day swimming! The room of course was clean, and had everything...

Long wait and was late for meeting, but no courtesy assistance getting to my meeting right next door and it was snowing heavily that nigh. Rooms are plain, and needs some freshening up.... More
