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.

Good stay overall. Free shuttle was a nice touch and staff were attentive. Dinner buffet is expensive but highly recommend it. We had problems with our electronic door lock not opening several times throughout our stay however which was the only negative.

The atmosphere of the hotel is calm and elegant. All the staff are well-trained, polite, and provide excellent hospitality. The room was clean and comfortable. However, it was a bit disappointing that there was only one chair in the room, despite there being two of us.

You would think for the money you pay and the attention to luxury the hotel is known for that they would have REAL beds. Our king size bed was nothing more than a giant box spring and a 2 inch mattress pad. HARD AS A ROCK!
