Experience of the stay
I stayed at Shilla Stay Seodaemun located in the heart of Seoul. It is easily accessible as it is close to the station and there are buses running nearby. Convenience stores (G25, 7-Eleven) are also nearby, making it a great location. I will particularly focus on the gym and the guest room.
I stayed in a twin room with two single beds. The room was spacious enough, and there was plenty of room even with a suitcase open. The interior was arranged in calm colors, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The bathroom was also clean, and I was particularly happy that it was equipped with a washlet toilet, which is a rare facility in overseas hotels and is a great point for Japanese travelers. Temperature control was also easy to manage. Amenities including shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and toothbrushes were provided. The room had a desk and chair, making it comfortable to work with a laptop. Wi-Fi was free, and the speed was stable, allowing for stress-free use.
As for the gym, the gym at Shilla Stay Seodaemun is available every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
It is equipped with aerobic machines such as treadmills, ellipticals, and fitness bikes. There are also dumbbells and weight machines, catering to strength training. The gym is well cleaned and has a sense of cleanliness. You can train in a bright and open atmosphere.
There is free water available in the gym, so you can stay hydrated during your workout.
Breakfast is optional and costs 18,000 won. It is a buffet style with a variety of menus from Western to Korean dishes. Every dish made with fresh ingredients is delicious.
Shilla Stay Seodaemun is a hotel that charms with its good location, well-equipped facilities, and attentive service. The guest rooms are clean and comfortable, with a fitness gym also included, making it recommended for health-conscious travelers. I hope you will consider it as a place to stay in Seoul.
Experiences during the trip
I took a bus to Namsan Tower. The view was beautiful and moving. I used it to go to the Hongdae area which is full of beauty clinics and cafes. I recommend the Samoyed Cafe in Hongdae where the Samoyeds were adorable.
