Shilla Stay recognizable rooms and main lobby designs are cool and cozy: the strong point of this hotel concept.
The breakfast buffet is good in quality but relatively limited in the choice variety. Nothing to complain about except if your stay is long: it becomes repetitive.
Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun is exceptionally well located, right next to famous Chogye Sa temple, and just a few minutes walk away from most downtown offices, as well as most touristy spots: various traditional palaces, Bukcheon old village, Insadong antique and artsy shops, Chongyecheong artificial river, City Hall,... And the Seoul Station (KTX trains to visit the country, Airport Railway) are just 2 subway stops away.
