I enjoy staying at the Stanford Hotel when I’m in Seoul as it is convenient to my office and has a great gym. I love the area and the little cafe in the lobby.
A decent hotel. Nothing particularly outstanding, but comfortable and suitable for a pleasant stay. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it met my basic expectations
No A/C? The wall unit is only for looks in October. It was hot in the room, and I was sweating. Called the front desk to complain and they turned it on for me on their end. It was cold overnight and I couldn't control thr temperature in the room. Sweat or be cold, those are only options.
They offer great amenities, but limited hours, so I couldn't use their gym or sauna.
For a similar price or cheaper, there are better options. I canceled my 2nd night stay and moved elsewhere. 10x better. Search hotels nearby and read their review, you can't go wrong.
I wasn't sure if it was the hotel or culture, but they couldn't call me a cab. Found out Uber works with cabs in South Korea, so maybe that's on me, but at least I got a cab...
Hope this helps someone.
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.

Business Trip To Seoul
Business stay as had meetings in walking distance from this hotel - great location for what I wanted but hotel a bit old and tired - very nice staff
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.

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
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.
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!
