Modern Hotel in a Great Location
This was a modern hotel in a great location, within walking distance of the subway and buses, and great shopping. The room was larger than I expected for a city hotel, spotless, and very comfortable. The AC was terrific. Hotel staff was very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast buffet was outstanding - the best coffee!

Good location!
Pros:
Location is excellent
Cons:
Room too hot the hotel seems a little wore. They need a renovation.
Location:
Lots of good restaurants and amazing shopping area. Easy to catch cab and subway.
Location is in the heart of shopping and restaurants. Hotel is very close by the subway. Every where you what to go is either walking distant or easily you can catch a subway or cab. Airport shuttle is right in front of the hotel. I had requested non-smoking room but the room smell like smoke. The AC wasn't working cool enough it was very hot in the room most of the time. I had made 2 complaints but staff not able to help. I guess Korea is not big in AC. No room service be prepared. Had coin lundary on 10th floor very convenient. Staff was very friendly and able to extend my room check out till 2pm. Will definitely come back to stay this hotel. Except will leave my second room key on all day to let the room cool down and have curtain closed at all time during the afternoon sun.

Superb location
One cannot beat the location of the Ibis Ambassador Seoul. It is at the edge of the Myeongdong shopping district, one block to city hall, eight blocks to Insadong, and a long walk to the two palaces, as well as being one-half block from subway line 2 (Green line). The staff is excellent, helpful for information. The hotel itself is adequate,
but looking worn. The carpets need to be replaced. This being said, I would still stay here again as the location is superb.

great location
Pros:
Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, free sauna
this place is an absolute gem when it comes to location and staff service. I absolutely reccommend this place, and if ever i have to go back, i would stay here again. just ride the limosine bus#6015 outside exit 13 for 10,000KRW and it'll dropmyou off right on the side of the hotel. Most staff were friendly and courteous, esp one guy which a shame i forgot his name, he's very sincere and glad to help out for directions. Some of them are snobby but neglectable. Otherwise the hospitality of the rest of the staff makes up for it.

Good Hotel
Pros:
Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
The room was very clean when I stayed. The breakfast buffet was ok. The workout room consisted of cardio machines and very light weights, so if you're a gym freak you'd want to look elsewhere. It was minutes from the shopping district and subway station. The staff was friendly and spoke English well. I'd stay here again if I wanted to go back to Seoul.

Great location. Value for money. Will go back again.
Pros:
Close restaurants, Quiet
The location is great with many restaurants and shopping all in the area. The staff are always there to help, although it can get rather busy in the lobby when a few groups need to check in. Perhaps more lobby staff is needed. Cheers.

Ideal location for any first time Seoul visitor
Pros:
Free Internet, locatiion location location
Cons:
the bed...
After staying at many other higher priced hotels in my previous trips, I pick this one for the low price only... but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to go from the ICN airport to the front of the hotel via Bus #6015. The basic room wasn't huge but similar in size to mid level hotels in Japan. Its location in the middle of Myoung Dong area provided many good eating places and access to subway #2 within 10 min. walk.
Will go back the next time!

Awesome Hotel
Pros:
Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
I loved this hotel, all the staff spoke English, it was right next to some great shopping. And when I was ready to go to bed, I could turn on the TV and get a lot of American TV stations. If you are going to Seoul this is the place to stay.

A great option
This hotel is in the perfect location for downtown Seoul. It is strange to go to the 19th floor to check in and then go down to get to your room but it eventually makes sense. Comfortable but small rooms, but an outstanding value. It is easy to get to everything from the hotel.

Your kind words have been shared on to our staffs. Thank you for your fidelity and look forward to serving you again soon!
Great Location
The hotel was right in front of the 6015 airport bus stop. Around the corner from the hotel was a shopping mecca filled with stores and street vendors. They have free Wi-Fi but signal strength was weak and I lost connection once during my 6 day stay. They have a coin op laundry facility but the dryer doesn't work very well, you will have to run it twice to get your clothes dry. Also during our stay we kept hearing construction sounds at 4am outside the hotel.
