We recently stayed at Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun for 12 days. The location was excellent, being relatively uncrowded with tourists and conveniently within walking distance to two subway stations: Gwanghwamun and Jonggak.
However, our stay was somewhat marred by a few issues. The breakfast menu remained the same throughout our entire stay, which became repetitive. Additionally, the room cleaning was inconsistent, although the rooms were generally well-maintained. We also experienced issues with the room temperature, which didn't cool down sufficiently despite adjustments. Fortunately, my room was provided with an additional blower, which helped.
On the positive side, the fitness center was well-equipped with a good range of equipment.
Overall, while the location was a highlight, there were some areas for improvement in terms of breakfast variety and room maintenance.

Great location in Seoul- really easy to walk to places nearby or catch the bus. The service here was great- the cleanliness of the rooms was spot on. The only downside was the rooms being a bit small, but overall pretty good experience.

The location is excellent, with numerous restaurants and cafes nearby. It's just a 5-minute walk to the subway station, making it easy to get around. Being less than 800 meters from Gwanghwamun is perfect for morning runs during my stay.

Very clean and orderly. The room was small by Western standards but contained what we needed. The only complaint we would have would be the thermostat. The room was quite warm, and we never figured out how to properly program it. But we stayed at a comfortable temperature in this late February stay by opening a window. It stayed comfortable.
The prominence of the hotel and its sign in the local urbanscape kept us from getting too lost as we sauntered around, exploring.
Check-in and info requests at the front desk were a breeze, with the clerks all reasonably or completely fluent in English. Service was prompt and cheerful.
We enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The cost was very reasonable, and the selection was great. We also stopped in for the nightly special, had pizza that was quite tasty, and were hugely entertained by the "beer glass that fills itself."
We were here as a transition to finding a residence, and the Shilla Stay was a lovely vehicle for doing so.
