"The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of Guro's vibrant nightlife. It's a bit of a walk to the subway station, but very close to bus stops, and the airport shuttle stops right in front of the main entrance. The room itself was clean, tidy, and tastefully decorated. The front desk staff, as others have mentioned, weren't overly friendly, but they were efficient and provided standard, satisfactory service. I suppose they just aren't the smiling type, which is no big deal. Overall, everything was quite good, and I recommend staying here."
"Worth for Value to stay!!!
This is very convenient accessible hotel to stay that surround by Subway(Guro Digital Station, 10min walk) and also food street nearby. Receptionist very helpful to request and willing to help. They provide daily simple self service breakfast with Ramen, bread, cereal, and banana, if this can be further improvement with alternate day change in menu. All the food at the cafeteria is serve for whole day, especially drinking water."
"Had a very pleasant stay at Shilla Stay Guro. The hotel is not located in the main tourist area, but that's actually not a problem. There is a Subway Line 2/Green station right across the street, making it easy to get to central Seoul. One of the highlights of the neighborhood is Boramae Park, which is just a short walk away and is a wonderful place to relax, take a walk, or simply sit and read a book.
The service was excellent. Sophia, Chloe, and the gentleman working at the front desk on Friday (10 July) afternoon—I assume those are their English names, as shown on their name tags—made both the check-in and check-out processes smooth and efficient. The housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping the room clean and tidy every day. The breakfast restaurant hosts throughout my stay from July 6 to July 10 were also consistently welcoming and friendly.
The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The room is on the smaller side, but it is functional and has everything needed for a comfortable stay.
My only suggestion is that the room photos on Trip.com should better match the actual room. The room I stayed in had a different layout and setup from the one shown in the booking photos, which created different expectations before arrival. Updating the photos to reflect the actual room would make the listing more accurate for future guests.
Overall, I had a great experience and would happily stay here again."
"The hotel is wonderful! The location is great, especially if you enjoy walking. There are two nearby stations: Doksan (the closest one, about a 10-minute walk) and Gasan Digital Complex (around a 15-minute walk). There are also many shops near the hotel, which is very convenient.
The hotel itself is clean, and the staff is friendly. There is also a rooftop and a kitchen area where you can relax. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed. My husband especially liked that there was a separate table and chair for working. The room was cleaned almost every day.
We had a great experience! Seoul is amazing - we hope to come back again soon!"
"From the moment I arrived, the biggest advantage was the location. The accommodation is situated around the Gasan Digital Complex area, which makes it very accessible to public transport, convenience stores, and restaurants. It’s a great base if you plan to explore Seoul or are visiting for business."
"Plenty of food options nearby, and it's quite a lively area. The room was decent, and breakfast was excellent—you absolutely must try the rice noodles; they taste better than most I've had in China. The ticket doubles as an airport bus pass, which is really convenient. The front desk staff can communicate in English and you can store your luggage there. Just keep in mind that check-in isn't until after 3 PM, but they clearly explain all the details, which is great!"
"I booked this hotel last minute because my travel plans changed, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. It's a bit of a walk from the metro station, but there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, which is very convenient. The front desk staff, especially one young man, was really friendly and helpful. He even showed me how to use the air conditioning late at night when I couldn't figure it out. It seems like the room layouts vary; my friend had a shower, while I had a bathtub. Aesthetically, my room was nice, but it wasn't the most practical. The sink was very awkward to use, and there was no light above the vanity. The bed was very comfortable, though, and overall, it was a good stay."
"Facilities: I didn't use the kitchen facilities as I didn't need to cook. The air conditioning and lighting are all new and functional. The only slight drawback is the angle of the showerhead in the bathroom; the shower space is a bit small, but it's not a major issue.
Hygiene: The room was very clean. Since it was a short stay, I didn't request housekeeping, but the cleaning staff left water bottles outside my door every day.
Environment: It's about a kilometer from Metro Line 1 and Line 2 stations, but there's a bus stop right outside where you can take a bus and then transfer to the subway. Walking directly to the subway station isn't too far either. It's not noisy at night, very quiet, and there are a few convenience stores nearby, which is very convenient.
Overall, it offers great value for money."
"This place is pretty good! 👍 I've been to Seoul many times, but this is my first time staying in a residential area. It's not close to any of the major attractions (which is fine by me, as I don't visit them anyway). It's about a 10-15 minute walk to Line 2 (the circular line), which I found quite pleasant for a morning or evening stroll.
I didn't try the breakfast as it seemed a bit pricey. There's a CU convenience store downstairs where you can grab breakfast. If you're ordering delivery, make sure to use the Google Maps address, otherwise it might be incorrect. There's also a free sauna available for guests."

Great
AAichiyudexiaocatThe location is fantastic! Although the room was small, the layout was very efficient. I was surprised they even managed to fit a bathtub and had a separate wet/dry area in such a small space – only in Japan/Korea! The great location meant I could pop back to the hotel to drop off my shopping, which saved a lot of time. Plus, if you cut through the Olive Young store next door, you can get to the other side of the street easily. When checking out, you can use the self-service machine on the first floor, which is super quick. Cars can pull right up to the entrance in the morning and evening. At other times, you have to walk a short distance, but overall, it's very convenient – a one-stop shop for eating, shopping, and exploring!
GGuest UserThe room was a bit small and the price was a bit high. Service was okay. The hotel has Wi-Fi. Other than that, everything else was pretty good. The hotel isn't old and there weren't any strange smells. It's still a decent place to stay. The location is very convenient, right in the heart of Hongdae, with plenty of great places to shop and eat nearby.
GGuest UserPleasantly surprised by this hotel! The service was excellent (you can choose your pillow at the front desk), and there are water dispensers and ice machines in the hallways. It's only a 3-minute walk from Anguk subway station, making it super convenient for getting around. Gyeongbokgung Palace is also within walking distance. This place is perfect for first-time visitors to Seoul who want to hit the main attractions. However, if you're planning on shopping in Gangnam or Seongsu, it might be a bit far. If you're traveling with elderly guests, you can ask the front desk for a non-slip mat (as the rooms have bathtubs, not walk-in showers).
BBasGTiny little hotel room but it was clean and had everything we needed. The hotel pyjamas were an unexpected amenity and cute. Breakfast at the rooftop bar was especially tasty, with a supply of blankets, and beautiful views that made it one of our highlights. The lobby scales to weigh our luggage also helped alot with packing for our flights. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and looked after our bags while we explored after checkout.
MMonkumaIt was very nice hotel. Room was big enough for 4 people and 2 beds were also
big enough to sleep. ( 2 queen )There were big fridge, freezer, washing machines and dryer. ( no soap)
Amenities were only shampoo, conditioner and body soap.
The hotel is located between Myeongdong exit 10 and Chungmuro.
The hotel has wow pass machine and convenience store.
Staffs were nice and room was clean. ( I just see some dust left on the corner of room but it is not big issue )
Over all we loved to stay here and if we have chance, we would like to stay again.
EEddrenI had a pleasant stay at this hotel during my trip to Seoul. The hotel was nice and clean, and the check-in process was fast and smooth, which made arrival stress-free. Although the room was a bit small, it was still comfortable enough for 3 people.
One of the highlights is the location, there are plenty of food stalls around the hotel, offering authentic local bites without the overwhelming crowds you’d find in Myeongdong. Personally, I found this area much more enjoyable and relaxing.
The metro station is just a 3-minute walk away, making it very convenient to explore the city.
Travel Tip:
From the airport, take the train to Seoul Station (either normal or express), then transfer to the blue line to Chungmuro Station. If you’re carrying luggage, Exit 5 is the best choice since it has an escalator — just walk toward Starbucks. Otherwise, Exit 7 is a quicker option.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel for travelers looking for a clean, convenient, and well-located stay in Seoul.
AANNASHEThis hotel is located above the OLIVION building, with the subway exit and Myeongdong's main entrance right outside, making it incredibly convenient for shopping and getting around. The elevator can occasionally have a short wait, but the overall location advantage is unbeatable. The room space isn't overly generous, but it's actually slightly larger than the Ibis next door. The main difference is that the Ibis front desk is on the ground floor, while this hotel's front desk is on the 17th floor, making direct access a bit less convenient. Considering the location and price, it offers great value for money, and the overall stay experience was very good. A very convenient hotel.
GGuest UserThe room had bunk beds, and the location was really convenient. It was only a 3-minute walk to the subway station, with a pharmacy and convenience store nearby. It's also very close to that popular spicy chicken feet place. My bed was near the restroom, so there was a slight musty smell, but overall it was quite clean. The first floor is a common area where you can do some simple cooking (like instant noodles and toast) and boil hot water. Check-in is at 3 PM daily. This is my second time staying here, and I'm still quite satisfied.
AAnonymous UserIt's not really excellent but You get what you payed for.
Aside from they only provide small size face towels.
My only complain is they should no longer provide towels with discolorations and stains.
Check in is strict 3pm
Check out is 11am
No elevator
No own kettle inside the room but u can use the pantry on the 4th floor with microwave.
Near subway station line9 naebang.
大大阪名物This hotel is just right for a 2-3 night stay. My check-in was scheduled for 5 PM, but when I asked if I could store my luggage, they actually let me check in at 3 PM. The nearest major station is Gangnam, so getting around by bus is quite convenient. If you have a lot of luggage, I'd recommend taking a taxi. Given the hilly area, a combination of bus and taxi would be ideal. I chose a standard double room, which is perfect for those who prefer showers. The only minor issue was a slight cigarette smell.
Some top places to stay in Seoul are near popular attractions like Myeong-dong and Heunginjimun Gate (Dongdaemun)—so you can quickly get to top landmarks and amenities you need.
