Pretty much the dead centre of Seoul, a huge square ringed by massive buildings and Seoul City Hall. It's got a nice green area in the middle with fountains and a colourful Seoul sign. Beautifully lit at night. It's a busy bustling place by day

There is usually something happening in the Seoul Plaza outside the old Seoul City Hall.Protests however can get packed and noisy so avoid if something is on that is politically motivated. On the three visits one was good and the others to be avoided.

We went here in December to see the outdoor ice skating. The price is very cheap. Only 1000 won. The ice skating area is not too big. There are some food outlets near the skating area.

They offer ice skating for 1000KRW in winter which is pretty sweet even if you don't ice skate and just want to watch people who are actually good at it--whenever I walk out onto the ice I fall on my butt so I think it's amazing when people don't!

Seoul Plaza is an activity location in one of the most central places of the city. Especially during warm seasons, almost each day it is possible to see something interesting in this location. Seoul Plaza is very close to many hotels and restaurants, as well as to main tourist attraction places. It is worth checking the activities here during Seoul visit.

Located smack in the center of the city, near City Hall––not the most fashionable or attractive part of Seoul, but convenient if your business in the city makes it so––the Plaza is uneven.
The pros first. Great service (I asked for a better and quieter room, and was promptly helped, and I was allowed a late checkout at a very reasonable fee). A good fitness club with a great swimming pool (in another building across the street, but not a big deal). Really comfortable beds. Nespresso machines. Tech all in good order, from water pressure to light commands. Good breakfast.
The cons, now. The décor is rather over the top, like a W on steroids. The scent diffused in the lobby is so strong, it is almost violent. The rooms are oppressive, small and all in dark wood, with black carpets––and the walk-in closets are boudoir-fucsia. Unless you get a room with double glass (I got it on my second try) or on a really high floor, the street is noisy. Even though the food was good, the breakfast restaurant was a downer, small and crowded, reminding me of a 3-star hotel during a school trip.
Elegance is not the Plaza’s forte but there are many pros, and even though I did not pay because I was a guest of an academic institution, I saw the rates and the quality/price ratio is sensible.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Seoul Plaza. Very well mannered staff who are always ready to help us. I take my hat off for the staff for the respect they gave me and my family. Very well located. Walking distance to nearby markets and awesome restaurants. Nice facility.

Seoul Plaza is a square shaped plaza with a an open-ground space in its centre. Situated next to City Hall in the hear of downtown Seoul, this is where free shows, concerts and other events are held throughout the year. There is even a ice-rink during winter holiday season.
During our recent visit, we found Seoul Plaza ground to be in a bit poor shape. The grounds were well-trodden upon with much more dirt/mud surface than grass. It was much preferable walking on the pavement around the plaza than directly upon the centre ground space.
A stage had been setup on the pavement area next to the City Hall, where a dance performance of sorts was taking place. Plenty of seats were set up but the event seemed to have only attracted a small audience. We took watch for a few minutes before being on our way.
In the end, it really depends on what is on schedule when it comes to Seoul Plaza. Best to check the Seoul Plaza website to find out what is on during the time of your visit. Or when passing through the area, just have a quick look to see if anything interesting is taking place.
