Great staff. Clean room. I love the most of this hotel: there is no pungent scent( perfumy smell) in the lobby and other areas. I am glad that the Shilla is not doing what other five stars hotels are doing. I hope that they keep their own classic style and maintain. Looking forward to visit again.

대체적으로 모든 서비스가 동일한 수준으로 제공 되었습니다, 리셉션이나 정문 앞 직원들은 항상 미소와 밝은 태도로 맞이해 주었습니다. 말씀드릴 부분은 개인적 취향일 수도 있지만 침대 머리 부분 가죽시트에서 그리 기분 좋지 않는 향이 났습니다, 가죽 보호제 인지는 잘 모르겠습니다

One of the historical hotels in Seoul, all service was very satisfactory. The amenity in-room is Molton Brown, which is my favorite. You should definitely try the breakfast held on the 2nd floor lounge, it was very nice. Even though the price is a little expensive, the quality of the food is amazing.

By far and away the best service I have ever received at a hotel, and I have traveled extensively. We had two different people greet us before even making it near the entrance, then a single person made sure we were guided and immediately attended to. We were graciously given a free upgrade and when the staff found out that we were here for a special event for the kids, they printed a letter to them and have a box of chocolates, which my kids can't stop talking about. The breakfast buffet was spectacular and absolutely worth the price. My husband still talks about how every other hotel on our trip was a letdown. 100% we would stay at The Shilla again the next time we are in Seoul.

A truly luxurious stay, it’s perfect for special occasions or if you’re just in the mood to treat yourself. While the hotel is situated uphill, the complimentary shuttle buses make it easy to get around, with convenient stops to duty free, public transport hubs, and even into the city (as long as you catch the right schedule). The service is exceptional from start to finish. From the moment you check in to the time you leave, every interaction feels polished and attentive. Staff go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcomed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-end, memorable experience - for us it was our honeymoon!

The Shilla is a luxurious stay and the rooms are fantastic and facilities looked great albeit I did not get a chance to use them during my stay. The downside is the need to pay to access the outdoor pool and how there were several membership areas that meant guests did not have access to.

This property isn’t inline with western values or customer service. Yes they bow, yes they smile but anything else is based on if you paid for it. For example, the outdoor pool isn’t included in the room. Even when you pay $300 for a family day pass it literally doesn’t include anything except the actual entry. Not even water is included. At the pool you’re not allowed to dive, jump, make a hand stand or anything kids enjoy. We reserved a Deluxe Business Suite for 4 people (2 adults and 2 kids) however the room only had one (1) bed. They asked us to pay for an extra bed. We slept 4 people in three beds. This suppose to be a 5 star hotel but the service is more inline with a 2star service. The food in the hotel is outrageously expensive and not worth it. We’re used to a more elevated service but for Seoul it’s considered the absolute best.
