Grand Walkerhill Seoul

My by far the best and favourite hotel in Seoul! The hotel is seated on the outskirt of Seoul overlooking the Han River. Also nested on the edges of the wide mountain area, the hotel offers fresh air and forest view too. The breakfast hall has a great view to this riverside, and the quality of food is incredible. All Walkerhill staff members I interacted with were kind and professional. I'm impressed by the quality of every aspect they deliver. I enjoyed the nature right and left in this resort. The environment is so cosy, I was finally able to get away from the life's stress, unwind and relax. It's a perfect place for a weekend get away or a short vacation. Definitely coming back next time for my short holiday!

Honestly, this hotel is overpriced for what you get. While the natural setting is nice, that's about the only positive. The staff's hospitality skills are lacking, and it was often difficult to communicate in English. Breakfast at Douglas House is a joke – limited selection, no hot food, just hard-boiled eggs. Don't expect much in the way of service either; there's no 24-hour room service. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway and don't care about anything else, this place might work. But for the price, you can definitely find better.

Grand Walkerhill Seoul (그랜드 워커힐 서울) is a stunning hotel nestled between the Han River and Achasan Mountain, offering a perfect balance of luxury and nature. The views alone make it worth the stay—serene river scenery on one side, lush mountain greenery on the other. The hotel provides top-tier service and facilities. From the spacious, elegant rooms to the excellent buffet breakfast, every detail is thoughtfully curated. The breakfast spread is especially impressive, with both Korean and international dishes served fresh and beautifully presented. A big plus is the free shuttle bus service to nearby areas, which makes getting around super convenient. Whether you're there to relax, explore nature, or enjoy the entertainment and dining options, Walkerhill delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended for a peaceful yet luxurious getaway in Seoul!

Nice stay for our family. They have a policy for no tattoos to be visible when swimming so I had to watch my son swim in the kiddy pool instead of swimming with him. They offered stickers to cover but there weren’t big enough for the tattoo size. Recommend to wear a rash vests if you have tattoos.

My stay at the Grand Walkerhill Seoul was nothing short of magical, a true 5/5 experience that left me feeling utterly pampered and refreshed. From the moment I stepped into the elegant lobby, I knew I was in for something special. The air itself seemed to hum with a quiet sophistication, a perfect blend of modern luxury and serene natural beauty. What truly struck me was the breathtaking view. My room overlooked the Han River, and waking up to the gentle shimmer of the water and the distant city lights was simply unforgettable. It wasn't just a view; it was a feeling of calm and expansiveness, a rare luxury in a bustling city like Seoul. Every morning, I found myself just gazing out the window, a cup of coffee in hand, feeling a profound sense of peace. The room itself was a haven of comfort. The bed, in particular, felt like sleeping on a cloud – easily the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever experienced. Every detail, from the plush linens to the thoughtful amenities, felt carefully curated to ensure maximum relaxation. And the service? Impeccable. The staff anticipated my needs before I even knew I had them, always with a warm smile and genuine willingness to help. Their attentiveness made me feel truly valued, not just as a guest, but as an individual. While the hotel is a little further from the absolute heart of the city, the convenient shuttle service made getting around a breeze. In fact, being slightly removed from the urban intensity was part of its charm. It felt like a true escape, a serene resort nestled amidst nature, yet still easily connected to Seoul's vibrant energy. Whether it was a leisurely swim in the beautiful pool, a quiet moment in the library, or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings of the Forest Park, every aspect of my stay at Grand Walkerhill Seoul contributed to an overwhelming feeling of wellbeing. It wasn't just a hotel; it was an experience that touched my soul, leaving me with cherished memories and a strong desire to return. This place isn't just luxurious; it's genuinely heartwarming.
