Great room and facility. Walkable to restaurants/cafes/convenience stores. Front staff was very nice. I would recommend this hotel if you are staying around this area.

Nice
Clean room, hotel is in good condition. The location is good for business travelers. If you need metro, the closest and one is Susaek station. You need to walk 10-15 minutes. For bus 10 minutes (but you need to buy a tmoney card before at 7/11 or cu). We didn't take breakfast, so I can't tell anything. But gorgonzolla pizza in the bar is nice. Check-in and check-out is easy. You can find small korean and european restaurants and cafes near hotel.

There are hair in the shower tub. I think cleaning is not perfect. And staff in the fitness center is amateur so I can’t satisfy his service. Also room was a little cold.

Nice business hotel in Sangam-dong
I stayed at Stanford Hotel for couple weeks because my office was right across the street. The hotel has very friendly staff and I had a pleasant stay. The property itself is not super shiny and new. But it has it's coziness, my room had a small balcony which was a nice surprise. It would have been nice if the TV in the rooms were bigger and also easier to connect with other devices. Overall it was a good stay and I would recommend for anyone who needs a hotel in this part of the town.

The hotel itself is great - clean, well presented and for us in a perfect location. The ONLY reason my review is not 5 * is because that both the hotel cafe and bar / restaurant was closed, but this was not advised before booking. Fully get the impact of COVID and how its not practical given the curfew there, etc. - but advise guests at time of booking!

The air conditioner appeared to be working but did not feel the cool air coming out. It was not extremely hot but mildly warm inside the room. I hope that the maintenance is performed on the equipment to get it to work properly.

Way better than expected
Because of the price I wasn't sure what to expect. It is located in a media/journalism area of town, and close to popular parks. I feel like i got more than my money's worth. It is very convenient, easy to reach. Everything was about it, EXCEPT at night it is too hot if you are a young person. I learned the trick was just to turn off the air conditioning fan. It would have been better if the temperature was just adjustable. The room I had was quite good and probably would have been 15,000 won more than what I paid on average. I will stay again when I am in the area.

The hotel is off the hotel row, but in a new area. Although the listing said double bed, it was a queen. There is a walking pedestrian street a couple of blocks away with lots of stores and restaurants. The area is quiet. There was a little room noise from the adjoining room, but not too intrusive. The breakfast is great. If you want to eat there in the evening you'll have to make the reservation a couple of days in advance as its booked up fast.

Clean but super small room, and kinda far from downtown and subway. Get hotel closer to downtown if you are planning to visit there. You can’t control room temperature.

Great place to chill
The hotel is a little small but comfortable. Lots of restaurants and things to do in a walkable area. Being able to connect your laptop or drive from the desk and connect to the television is boss. I haven’t seen that done before and I was impressed with that.
