More natural
「맡길 수 있을까요?」 is a polite way to ask if you can leave something with the staff. 「맡기다」 describes leaving your bags with someone; 「찾으러 오다」 means coming back to collect them. The Korean afternoon time in this example is 「오후 네 시」. The pronunciation guide is approximate; Korean sounds do not map exactly to English.
Good to know
Availability, fees and the latest collection time vary by hotel, so confirm them at reception. Keep any claim ticket and carry your passport, valuables and essential medication with you. Storing bags does not extend your room booking. If there is no space, ask whether there is a storage option nearby.
