Oakwood in Insa-dong from AU$356

"We would give six stars if we could! This hotel is such a gem and we are so glad we booked it. My wife and I stayed for the first leg of our Korea trip and it was amazing. It is so conveniently close to two stops on Line 2 of the Seoul subway so we had no problem getting to anywhere we wanted. The surrounding area is soo charming with tons of little shops and the world-famous Gwangjang market is just a short walk away! The location is fantastic and we felt super comfortable and safe the entire time. The room was so modern and impeccably clean and housekeeping did an excellent job every time. We made good use of the washer/dryer and the styler - very nice to have and they worked great. The room has such smart storage (walk-in closet, entry closet for luggage and shoes, a whole wall of storage as well. Staff was so nice and helpful with everything as well, we didn't have a single issue. We are already talking about booking if we do Seoul again next year! "

"We loved this hotel! The location n front desk help was amazing. Lots of restaurants nearby. There was a CU mini mart right outside hotel to grab late night noodles. Def stay here! "

"I would it definitely come back to this hotel. Very clean, comfortable beds and accommodating staff. In fact, while I was there the owner, Kevin, was by chance working the front desk and was incredibly helpful. The location Insa Dong, Seoul was perfect. It was short walking distance to the Insa dong pedestrian shopping street which was lined with fantastic shops, restaurants, and cafés. The small alleyways were so much fun to explore. It was also just a 20 minute walk to the main palace. Gyeongbokgung. The hotel and the area were all very charming. In fact, the owner went out of his way to explain to me that the name of the, Sunbee, means scholar in English because this is the area where the scholars that were attached to the palace lived. Altogether a most pleasant experience.! "

"Service and staff were excellent. Room was quite small, but clean. Housekeeping did a great job. I really enjoy Korean alleys filled will food options, so this worked well for me. Lotte and shinsegae department stores close by, as well as the subway and train station."

"Great staff. Clean room. I love the most of this hotel: there is no pungent scent( perfumy smell) in the lobby and other areas. I am glad that the Shilla is not doing what other five stars hotels are doing. I hope that they keep their own classic style and maintain. Looking forward to visit again. "

"The hotel staff was kind and the room was clean. I like the easy walk to the metro and the airport limousine stop. "

"Great hotel in a continent location for exploring Seoul "

"Well designed, neat rooms, with plenty of natural light and views out. Great location for shops restaurants sightseeing. The convenience store downstairs is excellent. No frills eg paper cups in room only, order in iron etc. so you’re paying for the things that matter. "

"This hotel is excellent! The best hotel in Seoul for the location, accessibility to get to popular neighbourhoods and the staff are great!"
