Stanford Hotel Myeongdong

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 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.

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!

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. :)

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!
