    Amazing stay @ The Shilla

    As a traveller who is v particular about standard of accommodation, the Shilla Hotel stay was amazing in many ways. Of course the room and facilities were TOP notch clean, new, designed for convenience n comfort. Breakfast spread was generous and great way to start the day. What was exceptional was the staff n service provided, they worked steamlessly as a team relaying my requests so there was no need to repeat what I needed - special call out to Jinny P from concierge. Another example was how even Mr A door man listened n explained about which internal bus I needed to take and when Mr A attended to something else 15 mins later, Mr B door man ran up to us to make sure we got on the right bus. Housekeeping was meticulous too! Fantastic! Will definitely stay there again

    DID NOT MEET THE REPUTATION AT ALL! 신라호텔 명성이 무색

    1. room type mistake when checking-in "방을 잘못 줌" - reserved a deluxe twin room for 2 adults and 1 child (32m/o). the front told us that we could put two beds together next to each other so that all 3 of us could sleep together. but because of the layout, there was no way to put them together. my daughter fell off from the bed while sleeping as you could imagine 32m/o baby sleeping on a twin bed. - 성인2+아이1 (32개월)을 위한 디럭스 트윈룸 예약. 프론트에서 침대 두개 붙일 수 있다고 그림까지 그려가며 설명. 실제론 붙일 수 없는 구조였음. 결국 애기는 자다가 한번 침대 밑으로 떨어짐. 트윈베드가 워낙 작으니. 2. wrong room service (룸서비스 실수) - ordered two glasses of sauvignon blanc. they first thought i asked for two wine glasses. After correcting them that I am ordering wine not glasses, they ended up bringing two glasses of red wine. (i assume it was cab. "sauvignon") 소비뇽블랑 와인 두잔 시킴. 프론트에서는 내가 와인잔 두개 시킨줄 앎. 다시 잘 설명해줌. 결과적으로 우리에게 딜리버 된건 레드와인 두잔 (까쇼로 추측됨. 쇼비뇽만 들은듯) 3. [worst] they left cleaning towel at the toilet after the room cleaning (see the photo). I think this is unacceptable at all. [이게 최악] 방청소 후에 걸레를 변기 옆에 놔두고감 (사진 있음.) 이건 진짜 말도안되는 실수라 생각 In general, staffs are out of control here. Don't follow simple protocols, clearly lack of experience. There are more annoying things I would like to share, but those three were the worst amongst others. 신라호텔이라는 이름이 무색할 정도로 엉망인 서비스. 그냥 불친절하다 정도의 의미가 아니라, 나사빠진 직원들로 가득한 느낌이었음. 불과 2박하면서 더 많은 사건들이 있었는데, 저 3개가 추려낸 최악. 컴플레인 하기도 짜증나서 그냥 리뷰나 남김.

    Absolutely horrible experience. They will do additional security and testing on you simply because you are not Korean. Will never stay there again.

    Exceptional service, my new favorite.

    We stayed one night for a bday celebration and everything was great. The service was exceptional by everyone (I'm 8months pregnant and we never left the hotel, and we ordered room service for every meals). The late night pool was also great, less people. Everything was also clean. Other than parking because you have to park far then take a shuttle, and it was rainy, so we had to haul our bags in rain, everything was great. Oh in my experience, valet is expensive and you have to wait an hour.
