Wolgye-dong Hotels, Seoul

"The hotel looks new, smells great and is in a great location, 12 minutes walk to myeongdong street, 5 minutes walk to the stream, many restaurants around yet the hotel is located away from the noise. They clean the rooms every day. Every room has a fridge and stove which was great. I would stay there again but would book a bigger room."

"One of the best stays I've ever had. Amazing hotel."

"Rooms are on the small side but are well appointed. Service is good. Breakfast is better outside. Try the hangover soup. very delicious "

"Stanford Myeongdong was a decent hotel. We stayed in a two single bed room with a great view of the city. Breakfast was okay, nothing stood out, but good to have as many places don’t open till later in the day. The bathroom was the main issue as it wasn’t very powerful, but our shower kept leaking. It was one of those removable ones but wouldn’t stay in place when having the shower on full blast, making it spray outside of the tub and onto the bathroom floor. Overall decent stay; good location, comfortable enough."

"Very happy with this hotel. Good location, friendly staff and clean rooms."

"Like many South Korean 4-star hotels this feels closer to a 5 star experience. Rooms are spacious, modern and clean. There's a good view of the National Assembly Building from the street and from the rooftop. But note the rooftop isn't easily accessible for anybody with mobility issues. It's located in a part of Yeouido that is quiet, but still with many cafes and restaurants available; very good coffee available at Small Batch just nextdoor and GOTT Only Place a litte further down the road (turn right as you walk out of the hotel for these). Yeouido Park is also a short walk. Gym has free weights and a smith machine, which is a rare find in hotels, but the gym and equipment is quite dated and in need of a refresh. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. This is a good place to stay in Seoul if you want to be somewhere quiet and relaxed and take public transport or taxis to the busier locations. Airport Bus 6007 from Incheon will drop you directly across the road, about a 1 hour trip. "

"The hotel is very conveniently located near Namdaemun market, subway station. It’s far away enough to be more quiet and less crowded, making if more pleasant to wake up to or come back to after a long day out. "

"Room was spacious and comfortable. Great for access to top spots in Songpa however wedding traffic in lobby plus slightly overwhelmed staff made check in less than ideal. "

"The location is great and staff is very helpful. The breakfast has a great variety of foods."
