Very nice hotel, great service!! Location was up on a hill but the hotel has frequent shuttle buses that takes you to the metro stations.
Our room type came with executive lounge usage, which includes breakfast, the food was excellent as well!

Very nice hotel and service is top notch. Have shuttle to town and shuttle to subway station Donguk university. From there can go to Seoul station to take KTX to Incheon Airport.

Stayed 5 nights, room no. 1520.
The pros are location, near the subway station and the hotel has a shuttle bus to get you there.
The view from the room is good, facing the Nan Shan.
The out room jacuzzi is fantastic
The service from the front door and facilities are good especially the front door staff called "Dustin Lee", he behaved professionally and friendly which made me feel I really was a guest in your hotel.
The Cons: The room was a bit shabby and outdated, also the closet couldn't close properly.
The hotel lobby will always be crowded as different kinds of people get there, which annoys me.
Also, I had a worse experience at my check-out, the receptionist asked me if it was okay with my stay, I said the lobby was crowded and chaotic which made me feel uncomfortable, but she said she didn't know what is "chaotic", I don't know what that means and I spelt to her, she behaved a bit cool and unfriendly, and the concierge staff next to her told her what is "chaotic", I think she is unprofessional and a bit rude.
Also, last Saturday morning(22nd Feb), a couple took some wedding photos in the hotel lobby, and all the guests couldn't cross the lobby to the front door, I understand that it was the most memorable day for them, but the lobby is for all hotel guests, which may be made all hotel guests feel uncomfortable and inconvenient, I think the management should have done some arrangement for that to minimize the situation like that.
Overall my stay was so-so, hope next time stay will be better as we go to Seoul quite often.

We had a wonderful time here! All the staffs were so nice and helpful. The whole experience was just amazing. The room was beautiful and they had shuttle buses taking you to the front entrance and Myeongdong. It was our first time staying at Shilla and I would definitely stayed here again.

Hands down the best hotel in Seoul in terms of facilities and services! Location is very strategic and even they offer free transport and also shuttles on popular places
In my opinion this hotel is really a great cultural experience for foreigners. I recommend to try their gym and also sauna. They provide jerseys and also luxury powder rooms
To end, they also have the best breakfast
