The Shilla Seoul

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great and staff were super helpful."

Lotte Hotel World

10/10 Excellent

"We've stayed in Seoul many times and like to explore different areas. This time we knew we were going to be spending a day at Lotte World, so I decided to book the namesake hotel, knowing that it is a 5-star hotel. We were not disappointed. The hotel is high class and immaculate. The staff is to each person attentive, professional, warm and friendly. They assisted us with several asks including booking park tickets, taxi to airport, pool access, and provided suggestions and hints along the way. Our room was a good size and comparable to big city hotel rooms in the US. We booked a Deluxe Double room with Sofa Bed, which was perfect for us and our toddler. Our view was incredible - the Lotte World Tower rising to the sky just outside our window. Walking access to Dept Store, Subway/Metro, etc. was extremely convenient. And for Lotte World itself, hotel guests are provided a special side entrance away from the crowds. Seeing how crowded it could get at the main entrance the next day, this was a huge time-saver. Would stay here again. Really top quality hotel and service across the board."

LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG

10/10 Excellent

"Right at the edge of Myeongdong. Don’t be confused with Lotte Hotel which is attached to the Dept store. Everything was very walkable and convenient. The city is also full of e-hailing rides and rails at very affordable price. Amenities in the hotel were all practical and relevant. They also have coin operated washers and dryers on site. The washers smells a little moldy and the dryers were a little weak in drying. Will return if visit again."

Glad Mapo

8/10 Good

"Hotel very conveniently located right next to subway entrance. Walking distance to a restaurant and bar street in the area. Room is spacious and clean. However, some of the amenities in the room feel like they r falling apart. Shower drain doesn’t work properly, makeup mirror is water stained and wobbly, back-panel for under the sink cabinet fell off. Electric outlets in the room are a hit and miss too."
