"Our 2nd stay at Stanford Hotel once again met our expectations and needs. We were able to use the secure lockers on the 9th floor (hotel reception) to hold our excess luggage while we went to Tokyo for a 3 nights. Upon return to Seoul Myeongdong, we were able to retrieve our luggage, reorganize, and pack our gifts/purchases. Laundry facilities is available 24-hours on floor 10. Breakfast buffet starts at 07:00-10:00. While the rooms are on the smaller size, for the money we enjoyed our stay. The location can not be beat! We will be coming back to the Stanford Hotel in Myeongdong."
