Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I have to say, the level of friendliness, courtesy and kindness among the staff here at the Shilla Hotel is quite wonderful. I'm a big fan of mindfulness--of being in the moment with attention and compassion for yourself and others--and I think the staff at the Shilla embody that mindset. That's the real benefit of this hotel--the staff and their level of attentiveness and compassion.

Just wanted to say - we (family of 4) had an amazing stay at The Shilla. The service was impeccable right from when we checked in. All staff made us feel very welcomed and all were extremely professional. When we requested for extra pillows or masks, they delivered the items promptly. Thank you to all staff.
