Stayed in a family suite. It was a great size and perfect for a family of four, our youngest, 7, shared the king bed with us.

4/10 Fair

The only reason I booked this hotel was because it had a pool. If you have children, you know that’s a major factor when choosing a hotel. When we arrived at the pool, we were told there was an additional $45 fee, which was pretty appalling. I didn’t mind paying for it, but I absolutely expected the pool to be well-maintained. Unfortunately, it was anything but. The jacuzzi smelled strongly of mold and had visible algae buildup. My son’s white bathing suit even ended up stained green from the water. 😬 I gave feedback on our way out to someone at the gym front desk, but she was simply handing out receipts and didn’t even acknowledge my concerns at all. I also mentioned it to the front desk during checkout, and they apologized verbally. I am pretty well traveled person and this was a very disappointing experience considering I am pretty easy going. We will not be returning.

The Stanford is a modern hotel located a 40 to 50 minute bus ride from the more touristy ares at the center of Seoul. The area is modern business and high rise residential area with nice parks. It’s a nice quieter area with lots of interesting modern sculptures and architecture. There are lots of restaurants and coffee shops near by. A 15 to 20 minute walk away is a busy older restaurant and bar area.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The area was a business area, far away from the city center. No place to get coffee in the morning until after 7am. Although the hotel advertises free breakfast you have to make sure you ask and pay for it before paying for the room upfront otherwise its about 20,000 KRW per person. The buffet was good and plenty of different foods and drinks
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself is new and well maintained. The facility is clean and the gym is a standout feature, as it’s larger and better equipped than almost any hotel gym. I only have two issues. One is value. Considering the location the price is about 15% too high. Finally the internet connectivity was unacceptable for a building of this size in this locale. Bouncing between 0 and 5 Mbit shows extreme incompetence from IT staff.

Ok hotel - don’t expect to eat there.

Hotel was nice and in a good location for where I was working. Only downside is the hotel has 2 restaurants. The Buffett was closed on my first night and private bookings for my remaining 3 nights. The Manhatten Grill was open but no staff. On my last night someone did appear but when I tried to order I was told no as my menu choice was for 2 people only and being on my own I couldn’t order it. The hotel heavily advertises both these restaurants but clearly not designed for hotel guests. There were food options outside but as temperatures were -13 and snow / ice i didn’t want to go outside…but had no choice if i wanted to eat.

Great gym, poor air conditioning experience

I enjoyed the location of the hotel in proximity to my work, but my air conditioner didn’t work properly the entirety of my stay. I called about it, but it was never repaired. I am not sure if all of the rooms have a set point temperature that doesn't go below 25 celcius, but overall I found the hotel to be nice but a little too hot. The gym is also wonderful and so I would stay again- especially with the location and if they can fix the air conditioners!
