The Seoul Hilton is a very classy hotel, at the high end of the Hilton chain of hotels, I'd say.
It is in a very convenient location, only a 10-minute walk from the main Seoul train station, the sprawling Namdaemun market. However, it is rather inconvenient to walk to the hotel from the train station with your luggage, since it is all uphill, and you have to figure out how to cross a major Seoul thoroughfare in front of the station. (The key is figuring out which underground passage to use, not an easy thing to do, plus dragging your bags up and down the stairs.)
When we were there, the hotel also had a complimentary shuttle bus to the big Itaewon shopping/nightlife district, which was worthwhile. But it is also near to public bus stops, and the subway stops are all at the main station down the hill. Of course, the hotel makes it easy to get a taxi, with several of them always lined up out front (but they are somewhat expensive).
The whole staff was exceedingly polite and helpful in any way they possibly could be. The executive lounge, near the top, provided complimentary breakfasts, snacks, and drinks for members of Hilton Honors who are on the Gold or Platinum level. This is a very nice perk that can save you quite a bit of money if you aren't on business and actually care.
Like we've found in many international Hiltons, you can't book a room for four (two adults and two kids) here through their reservations phone lines or online. I told the phone reservationist that we had four, booked a room for two adults with one child, and showed up with four people. Like we've found other places, the hotel was fine with it and fit us into the room. The room was extremely tight, of course.
