Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myeongdong

In room facilities very good and efficient reception.

N/A

Good location and value for money

Restaurant menu choice limited

The smell on the corridor and the paper cups

I’m trying to figure out what I like, but I’m finding it difficult.

The rooms are extremely small and look much bigger in the photos. We were told that the minibar was complimentary, yet during our four-night stay, it was restocked only once. The breakfast was mediocre, with very few options suited to European tastes. I would rate the cleanliness 8 out of 10. The hotel is enormous and extremely crowded, with people constantly entering and leaving, which creates a rather chaotic atmosphere. There also seems to be a negative attitude towards smokers. The designated smoking area is isolated behind the hotel, in a strange and secluded location where you may feel unsafe, particularly at night. I noticed that there is a terrace near the reception area that could easily be used as a safer and more convenient smoking area, but unfortunately, smoking is not permitted there either.
