I always parked comfortably at the Shilla Stay Guro branch, a hotel where I stay every time I come to Seoul, but this time it was a little difficult to park because it was the holiday season. If you use public transportation, the bus and subway stations are close, so it will be easy to move. The hotel is not very big, but it's nice to have a gym and a buffet restaurant on the second floor. The restaurant food is delicious. Guests can eat it at a 10% discount, so it's cost-effective! And there is no inconvenience because convenience stores and restaurants are close to the hotel. You can decide on a room with a shower booth or bathtub when checking in. The room is not large, but it is cozy, bedding is comfortable, and clean. However, I am satisfied except for the fact that towels and gowns are a little old.

I made an online reservation, but since it is winter season, I used it neatly and comfortably for an affordable price. And I was very grateful and happy with the friendly response from the staff. Hotel facilities include a gym and breakfast. The taste of the food was not overpowering on the small buffet food display stand! The dessert was also more delicious than I expected^^ I ate the food to the fullest. And you have to come a little earlier than the check-in time to find ample parking space. The alley leading down to the parking lot? There are also cars parked in the area... Still, there are more parking spaces than other cost-effective hotels. Overall review! It's a cost-effective hotel with clean, friendly facilities and great service!

This hotel is in a great location, close to Guro subway station, and it is only a 3-5 minute walk from the subway station. What's more convenient is that you can take a bus directly to the airport in less than 3 minutes after leaving the door, making the trip easier and smoother. The interior of the hotel is kept new and clean, giving people a brand new feeling. Even at this price, the size of the room is not small for Seoul, providing guests with a comfortable living environment. In addition, the hotel staff has a good service attitude, giving people a warm and thoughtful feeling, making guests feel sincerely cared for. Overall, this hotel is the most cost-effective accommodation option in Seoul, adding a comfortable and pleasant experience to the journey.

Perhaps because the staff is well-trained, the service was so friendly that I was impressed. The location is convenient as it is close to the station, and there is also Lotte Cinema right next to it, so it would be nice to watch a movie while traveling on the weekend. There were many neat restaurants in the nearby residential-commercial complex buildings and across the street, so it was very convenient to be able to have dinner without having to go far. I think I will remember this as a hotel I would like to visit again next time.

The clean exterior and room condition were good. I stayed without any discomfort for 4 nights and 5 days. I used a room with a bathtub, and it was quite spacious and comfortable, so I took a bath once a day. I also had breakfast for two additional days, and although there weren't a lot of items, I was satisfied because it was neat and tasted good. (Discount available for staying guests!!) The location is right in front of Gudi Station, so there are many shops nearby and a convenience store right next to it, so if I needed anything, I went out and bought it right away. There seemed to be a service where if you ordered delivery food, it would be delivered to your room. I couldn't use it because I went out every day to explore Gudi Station's food alley and buy delicious food, but it seemed like a convenient and attentive service. I'm having a great time with no time getting bored. I would like to stay again next time!!

All the staff are friendly too! The front desk was very friendly when checking in, so I started the day on a good note! The room was very clean, and when I requested the necessary water, they provided it right away so I was able to use it very comfortably. I also had breakfast the next day, and it was very delicious at a reasonable price. The restaurant staff were also very friendly, and they cleaned up all my plates right away, making it easy to use. I did it haha

We went on a trip with our family (3 people, including 3 sons in elementary school) for the March 1st holiday. We went to Jamsil on the first day and Yeouido & Gasan-dong outlets on the second day. The location of the hotel along the travel route was good. I made an early bird reservation (breakfast included) on the public home app and it was very good value for money. There were no family twin rooms on the first day, so I booked a double room, and on the second day, I booked a family twin room. Upon check-in, I was upgraded to a flat room for free until the first day, so I rested very comfortably. The bedding was very comfortable and the breakfast was good!! At check-in, I was informed that there was a bit of train noise in the pat room, but it wasn't so annoying that I couldn't sleep. However, if you are sensitive, please take note.

Even though I arrived early, they helped me check in quickly so I was able to get into the accommodation quickly in the cold weather. I was able to stay comfortably thanks to them helping me change from a double to a twin and informing me of the availability of a bathtub. The structure was different from the last time I came, so it was new and I was given a high floor so I was able to see the view outside the window. The toothbrush and toothpaste, as well as the dryer, had strong airflow, which was nice, and there was water in the refrigerator. The bedding wasn't very soft, so it was perfect. I intend to visit again next time :-) !!!

I stayed here for 7 nights in December 2020. I was very happy with my stay. The hotel is very clean, with a comfortable room and a good bathroom. Wifi was very fast. Service is professional: they were quick and helpful. The price was competitive. The car park is underground and easy to use, The location is excellent, right by Guro Digital subway station and with a large number of restaurants of all prices in walking distance.
I recommend this hotel.

It's always comfortable and clean, and the staff is really pleasant and helpful! The blankets always smell good and are soft, and the cleaning service is very good. They always change the room so it's like a new room❤️❤️ I like Shilla Stay the best among the hotels I've been to nearby, so I always go to Shilla Stay. There's a convenience store right next to it, and most of all, the breakfast is really great. Drink... I'm coming to eat this... And there's no noise. It's really amazing that there are so many people in the room, but it's really quiet! That's why I feel like I'm getting more rest. When I lie down on the bed, I fall asleep at some point. Check out Shilla Stay..

From the main road when you come out from exit 6, turn left and walk down the road until the pedestrian crossing. From there, cross the road to the other side and walk back towards the hotel
