loved the location. super convenient, 3 min walk to metro & 1 min walk to bus limo stop. Lots of shops & restaurants all around. There are 2 entrances to the building, but you can see the hotel sign only on 1 side of the building. There's an apple store in the same building and it's directly across the main road from Lotte Department/duty free store. They have a 24 hours convenience kiosk on the 9th floor (lobby) where you can buy ramen, snacks, beverages.

the bathtub shower's design in the family edge room was dumb. the tub edge was higher so there was like a "drain" around the tub collecting water and the water would spill over to the rest of the bathroom making the floor all wet. Shower curtains didn't help much. You have to improvise a little with towels to keep the toilet dry. Water pressure was not strong enough either. 2 sides of the room were all glass, so the room was cold even if heated. Don't sleep right next to the window during winter. you will freeze your arm off. If you are sensitive to noise, bring earplugs. You can hear people laughing/talking in the next room and traffic sounds. I stayed at room 1506.

The hotel was in a great location for sightseeing. It was close to the subway and many restaurants. The air-conditioning worked well and there was an air purifier in the room. We had a corner room with floor-to-ceiling windows, providing an excellent outlook. The breakfast room was spacious and never that busy. The food choice was simple but good. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The shower was in the bathtub and the glass panel did very little to keep the water from gushing onto the floor. The water seemed to collect around the top of the bathtub and flow onto the floor. Every towel was used to mop up the wet floor, which meant we had to have fresh towels daily rather than trying to be green and using them a second day.

The location can't be beat for Seoul tourist visit. Nearby metro and bus stops, Myeongdong food --steps away, walking distance tourist sites (ie Palace, Insadong area), great shopping and food across the street, easy airport drop-off and pick-up by limo bus or hired car, staff eager to help, AND PRICE WAS REASONABLE mid-price.

Don't like the trash bin next to the toilet for used toilet tissue. Front coffee kiosk at restaurant was not staffed when I went there and the restaurant staff kept directing me to sit in the restaurant. Don't know if there was a language barrier. Didn't eat at restaurant with so much good food in the neighborhood and at Lotte

Location for shopping and for buses and subway. Amazing restaurants, street food plus department stores, name stores and markets close at hand. The staff on reception were welcoming and very helpful. Housekeeping staff were also very good! Highly recommended hotel.

Nothing! Just keep in mind the entrance is around the side of the building (behind the Apple Store), take the express lift to reception in the 9th Floor.

First, the location of the hotel and the area itself is incredible. Busy during the day and entertaining during the evenings. Metro station is 2 mins walking and the bulding has really easy access. The check-in process was also easy and fast (there is also self check-in if you prefer). The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Elegant furniture and cozy feeling. The bed was comfortable for me (not everyone enjoys the same type of bed). Noise free corridors. The bathroom has the largest bath I have seen and the fixings were very smart. Water pressure was excellent. Soap/shampoo smell was really standard for Korea which I love! The views from our particular room was N Tower... breathtaking! Amenities such as the breakfast was acceptable. Maybe one more vegetarian option could be useful but this is Korea (maybe rolled omelette instead of scramble eggs any other day). You can also access some convinience food downstairs in the lobby and ice maker machine on every floor. Laundry room and gym is everything you need. Now the staff deserves a 12 out of 10. They were so helpfull! They assist you on everything you need from the reception staff to cleaning staff to kitchen staff. This particular member in the hall was very kind with setting up our sim card, buying tickets for baseball and answering every question considering language barrier. Also, the hotel honored our request of a great view from the room. You never know what service you are getting from just the reviews but, I can assure you that leaving this hotel was very sad and if I ever come back to Seoul I will be staying here again! Thank you for your warm hospitality!

My own fault not to book this hotel for longer!

Love the cleanliness (room was spotless every single day) and the location. It is situated right at Myeongdong Central but it wasn't on a busy street, which was perfect for us. Walking distance to train station as well. Airport shuttle is also conveniently located right outside Ibis Hotel which was right next door (about a minute walk away)

Sound proofing needs to be improved, we could hear the neighbours in the next room cackling at 2am

We had a great 4 nights stay at Stanford Hotel. It's in a fab location, easily found (lobby is on 9F above the Apple Store Myeongdong) and within easy reach to key tourist spots and public transport. it is steps away from the Euljiro 1(il)-ga Hana Bank entrance (Exit 6) - turn right from entrance facing Lotte. There are a host of restaurants, CU convenience shop, Olive Young, McDonald's, Starbucks all around the location. The room was comfortable, with daily housekeeping. The hotel staff could speak english and were very helpful when we needed help. I am glad we stayed in this location. :)

Nothing. There were reviews that said the bathroom has no partition (yes, just a shower curtain) for the shower area and water gets everywhere. Actually, it's ok, just needed to turn the showerhead/rainshower head abit.

The location is amazing! Right across the street from Lotte Department store, where the entire bottom floor is boutique food court. Right in the heart of Myeondong, which was our favorite place in Seoul, so happening, shopping, street food, cat café, coffee shops, kpop, underground shopping center... The hotel had a very good breakfast (not includes in the price) with variety. We also enjoyed their coffee and chocolate latte which were amazing. Rooms are big enough, enough storage place.

We liked everything about this hotel.

One of the best hotels I stayed in ever and just to make an idea, I travel a lot abroad either for leisure or business. Very clean, spacious, the sheets and towels, slippers were changed daily, hotel personnel very kind and helpful. The bed was quite big and fluffy and it felt like you are sleeping on a cloud (which helped a lot considering I was walking daily for 12-13 hours). Me and my best friend were checked in at 13th floor, close to the street but you couldn't hear any noise from the outside. The personnel was very kind, they helped us with the luggage and with the taxi to the airport and every time we needed additional information, they were always available to explain us and make our stay more comfortable. A big plus to the laundry room, it is 24/24h open so whenever you feel like wash your dirty clothes it is open and you will find here everything that you need. They also have a nice fitness room, so feel free to exercise while waiting for the clothes to get washed and dried :) Lovely place, centered at the main touristic street Myeong-Dong, very close to underground station and to Namsan cable car (it's at 20 min walk from the hotel), lots of cafès, shops. I definitely recommend this hotel and be sure that me and my friend will choose the same one when we will get back to Seoul. Big thank you for making our stay in Seoul so pleasant!

Nothing to add

The location is fantastic -right in the middle of Myeongdong shopping area, with several good restaurants around. Bus stop just outside the hotel and Myeongdong station is a 10min walk. All major sight seeing options and shopping areas are quite close. You can even walk from the hotel to the palace crossing several interesting structures in between. The rooms are decent sized, with all amenities, very clean and well maintained. The staff was very helpful and accommodating for our room choices. Overall a lovely experience.

I did not opt for the breakfast since I was looking for an eclectic menu and not just an American breakfast. I also felt it to be a bit expensive.
