10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the kind and courteous housekeeping staff to the reception staff. The hotel is not one to miss out on. The breakfast was spectacular also, plenty of choice and well worth the money paid for it. "

Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun Myungdong

10/10 Excellent

"Super helpful staff...went to have a relaxing night of pupus and beer and James served us. We were the last to leave the restaurant but he was so kind not to chase us out of the restautant. He was so kind and pleasant and he always had a smile when he was speaking with us. Went to the front desk for help with restaurants and they printed out a map of nearby places. Checking out, Dahlia was so happy and friendly to assist me. For a single traveller, my room was just the right size for me. However, a room with two beds seemed to be on the smaller side. The atmosphere was very welcoming and warm. The location was perfect walking distance to Insadong, Gwanghwamun Square, The Palace, Hanbok Village, the subway and a lot of eateries. "

N285 Hotel Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay, loved the fact it had a general store underneath. The room itself was really spacious and cozy. I was lucky enough to get a room at the 12th floor with a great view of the street. The place had a comfy sofa, a bidet bathroom, TV and an awesome hair dryer. All in all a great hotel that was close to all the main attractions in Seoul. "
