Irwon 1-dong Vacations from ￥35,064

I give this property an overall grade of 4 out of 5. The rooms may be not spacious compared to the hotels that I stayed and they don’t clean your room not after 4 days of stay. They can also improve their breakfast menu and their self serve laundry facility. However, they are located along the famous “Myeongdong Night Market” and “Myeongdong Cathedral”. Specially the staff are friendly, courteous, and able to speak English. I recommend to the owner to increase the salary of their staff who gave me an excellent service. Your “staff” is the key of your success!

I am fairly easy going, but this place was old and smelled of wet carpet. I got a non-smoking room but it smelled like people have smoked in there before. The shower curtains were smelly, moldy and pink at the bottom and water got through them and made a mess on the floor. The towels were small and dingy colored. There was not a garden terrace to enjoy. It was just a bunch of untamed plants and one chairs to sit on. It wasnt spacing or clean. Not a place I would go to relax. Some positives: The "advertised" pictures of the property were great. The Air Con works well. The bedding was comfortable. The buffet breakfast was decent. Its around local eateries and convenient stores. Some staff are nice and helpful and some are quite stoic. I will not be staying here again, nor would i recommend it.

Hotel is in need of refurbishment. Walls splatter with ? and worn. Bathroom has mold around sink and in shower area. Under bed was very dirty with debris. Front desk is friendly and helpful. Housekeeping needs work. Floors are dirty. Needed to go to front desk multiple days because housekeeping for got to leave coffee or shorted us towels. No place to put luggage and no real clothing storage in room. More space is given to kitchenette than clothing storage so we lived out of suitcases on the floor.

I had a wonderful stay at the Shilla hotel! This trip I was traveling alone as a young woman, which can sometimes be scary especially when you’re unfamiliar with the area but I felt extremely safe at this hotel. The room was equipt with everything I could’ve possibly needed, and there is a metro stop conveniently located steps away from the entrance. I found it extremely easy to navigate myself through the city. I took a train from Daegu to Seoul station and was able to walk from the train station to the hotel (~15 min).

This wonderful hotel is very close by the cathedral, Leonidas & behind Butter on the left. Use Naver and Kakao Map to help you navigate. It's located on the 17th floor. The hotel is surprisingly quiet unless you decide to open the window. Staff is wonderful. Hotel is clean and it has all the amenities you need. Historical sites are walkable. Bring cash to take advantage of the food carts. Would stay again.
