The Shilla Seoul

Awesome view of the mountain in super clean bathtub

The room was spotless, the bathroom very clean and spacious, the bath was able to comfortably fit me with my long legs. The supplied toiletries were very high quality, and I was even able to use the provided razor without cutting my face! The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had. Since we were staying as an anniversary/valentines day gift, there was a nice note and small box of chocolates which was a nice touch. The hotel was very accommodating when trying to book dinner, managing to get us into La Yeon that night after putting us on the waiting list after I had booked dinner too late. My partner took full advantage of the Shilla duty free store bonuses (10% off voucher and fast-tracking to a gold membership) which we received for staying.

The only small annoyance we experienced was that the blinds in our room automatically raised whenever we entered. That meant we had to find the blinds remote and manually lower them. Actually, a second annoyance is that the points for staying at the hotel have not been added to my Shilla account; there was information for registration via the app in the room, and I left my membership number (after I had registered that morning) with the front desk, but four days later I haven't received anything. I would recommend downloading the app before booking and staying so you can get the benefits. It's a little unclear as to how to redeem.

Breakfast was amazing, variety of choices and food of great quality. Staff was very polite and helpful. Rooms were very comfortable and luxurious. Great stay.

Location is not the best, it is far to almost every tourist attraction. But it is situated next to the metro line so it is not that of a problem.

Restaurants are closing too early for dinner. At 21:00..
