    Not much to not like. Some of the staff were a bit characterless, but I've come to expect that in Korea. The bathroom was pre-fabricated and small. We also had a minor problem finding the entrance to the hotel.

    Our room, though small like most in Korea, was clean and quiet with a modern look and feel. The lobby, bar and breakfast area were on the 19th floor which provided nice views of the surrounding area including the Seoul Tower. The main benefit of Ibis Ambassador was to walk out of the hotel into the amazing Myeongdong neighborhood with incredible shopping and restaurants. Spend one night grazing on the upscale street food. I also recommend a night on the fried chicken street (Chir Chir Chicken was AWESOME), and lunch at the Michelin starred Myeongdong Kyoja. Metro to visit other parts of Seoul & Korea via train is a short walking distance, this is the place to stay.

    Unable to get our room after 2 pm check in time frame. We had just traveled over 24 hours and were exhausted. Also, our driver took us to the other Ibis Ambassador Hotel and we had to lug our suitcases 25 minutes to the other Ibis Ambassador Hotel. Very frustrating!

    Easy access to myeongdong Street area, plenty of shopping. Nice stroll to cheonggyeong stream to access geobokgung palace, Gwanghwamun Square and other tourist sites. Use Uber or kakao taxi to grab a taxi to coex mall, lotte tower or lotte world. Close to seoyl train station if you want to be adventurous take ktx to other city's.

    Maybe the fact that sometimes the room were very cold or very hot and maybe they should put more instruction how to use the controller. And then you should put more details and direction where is the reception.

    I stayed here for 9 night (March 30 to April 8) The location of the hotel it was perfect, very accessible, via car or through subway and bus. The food during breakfast was buffet, and It was very delicious. The staff were very welcoming and professional. The view was very beautiful, ofc it changes for every rooms

    Staff could be more courteous and flexible. When requested for water bottles at 10:30 in the night, we were told to wait till mid-night to get next day quota of water bottles. While checking out, could not find one room key, we were told to pay 10,000 KRW! However, ultimately it was waived off, not very pleasant experiences for the guests!

    Excellent location right in the centre of Myeondong, next to best food street! Rooms and property are good.
