They provide two bottles of mineral water daily, and refills cost extra, but it's not expensive. There's an afternoon tea area in the hotel lobby. The staff at check-in spoke limited Mandarin, but we managed to communicate."

"For this price point, the basic room hygiene was excellent, no complaints there! But apart from that, everything else was a letdown. If you're looking for a comfortable and convenient trip, this isn't the place.
Location and Dining: The hotel is located on a mountain with a great view, but don't even think about walking anywhere. Besides a duty-free shop nearby (which is mostly frequented by personal shoppers), even getting a taxi is a hassle.
For breakfast, be prepared to wait an hour. The front desk suggested I go before 7 AM to avoid the queue, which, to be fair, made breakfast quite good. When I checked in, I also inquired about dinner and good restaurants. The front desk staff claimed all their hotel restaurants were famous and delicious, especially the Japanese one. When I asked them to make a reservation for us, they said reservations usually needed to be made 30 days in advance. Fine.
Then I thought, I'll just grab a coffee at the hotel cafe. Another wait... at least 30 minutes. Ugh...
Returning to the hotel on the second evening, I found the lobby packed with people queuing all the way to the door, like a bustling market. They were all lining up for the buffet. If your F&B is that good, why bother with the hotel? Guests staying here can't even get a table because it's full of outside diners.
The swimming pool was the same – tiny and completely overcrowded, impossible to actually swim. There must have been at least 50 people in there; it was more like a hot tub than a pool. Honestly, apart from sleeping, nothing else was good.
Let's talk about the service: It felt like they were particularly reluctant to serve Chinese guests. When checking out, my child and I were carrying our luggage out, and there were many staff standing in the lobby who didn't offer to help. It was only when a car pulled up outside that someone came to assist us with our bags. What were all those people standing around in the lobby doing then?
After my luggage was loaded, I got into the car and looked out the window to see the person who just helped me with my bags using my car window as a mirror to fix his hair. Hilarious! (This happened at 7 AM Korean time on the 19th).
For this price, you're better off staying in Gangnam. Josun Palace is much better and similarly priced.
To be honest, I'm very disappointed. It's a beautiful hotel, and the staff are all good-looking, but they clearly haven't been properly trained. I hope whoever cares about this hotel sees this review and seriously considers whether you are in the F&B business or hospitality. My experience of your hospitality was very poor.
You did great in terms of the beautiful location and clean rooms, but you missed out on how to treat your guests that are staying at the hotel. Horrible experience. I don’t think you deserve the reputation you once had."

"Perched on a hillside, getting around was a bit of a hassle, but the hotel itself felt very high-end. The entrance and lobby had a very elegant, old-school luxury hotel vibe, and the service was incredibly professional. From my room, I had a panoramic view of the city. The room hallways and the rooms themselves felt a bit dated but were very clean, with an older decor style. The hotel has a gym, pool, and tennis courts. It's a really large property, nestled against the mountain, offering beautiful and comfortable scenery – perfect for a relaxing getaway."

Located in the heart of Seoul, The Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel is Korea's first privately owned hotel and has been preserving its historic heritage since 1955. Newly renovated entire building, including the exterior, rooms, restaurants & bars features 264 rooms and 40 residences. We have 6 gourmet spaces Including the premium live buffet "The Kings", Chinese cuisine "Haobin", and the grocerant restaurant "1955 Groceria". We also provide special weddings and events at various banquet halls.
"⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Four stars, deductions mainly for hardware details)
For our trip to Busan's Haeundae, we booked this two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment-style family room. Booking in advance made the price very reasonable, and it's perfect for groups or families traveling with children.
✅ Pros & Highlights:
1. **Excellent Location**: Right next to the heart of Haeundae's main street. You can step out and immediately find shops for browsing, shopping, and buying daily necessities, making transportation incredibly convenient. It's only three subway stops directly to Shinsegae Centum City department store, making shopping and dining hassle-free.
2. **Great Layout**: It’s a standard two-bedroom, one-living-room layout with two queen-sized beds (1.5m). The two bathrooms mean no fighting over facilities. It also has a separate living room and an open-plan kitchen, plus a washing machine in the room, which makes daily laundry and cooking very convenient.
3. **Unique Balcony & Amenities**: The most unique feature is the rotating balcony, offering a good view. There's a café on the ground floor where guests can have breakfast (I didn't pre-order breakfast). The overall space is spacious and has a strong homey feel. There are three air conditioners in the unit, providing ample cooling.
⚠️ Areas for Improvement:
1. **Housekeeping Request**: Unlike regular hotels, there's no 'make up room' light. If you want your room cleaned, you have to call the front desk to schedule it, which is quite inconvenient.
2. **Lack of Blackout Curtains**: The second bedroom only has a sheer curtain, no thick blackout curtain. As soon as it gets light, direct sunlight streams into the room, making it easy to be woken up and affecting sleep quality. I hope the hotel can add blackout curtains to improve this.
3. **AC Remote Control Issue**: There's only one remote control for three air conditioners. If you want to turn on the AC in different rooms, you have to keep moving the remote back and forth, which is very inconvenient to use.
4. **Hot Common Hallways**: The common hallways on each floor don't have air conditioning. When entering and leaving the room, the hallways feel noticeably stuffy and uncomfortable.
Overall, the value for money is good, and the location and layout are very suitable for family travel. However, there are quite a few hardware details that could be optimized. Friends who are particular about blackout curtains and AC remote convenience might want to consider these points beforehand."

"Not a bad hotel. The most convenient thing about it is the 24-hour CU (convenience store), whose staff are always friendly and polite. Now I have to mention the downsides, which, to be honest, I wasn’t prepared for at all. The first and main drawback is that I was supposed to get an Executive class room. However, instead, I stayed in a Deluxe class room. Let me clarify right away: I had previously stayed at the Swiss Grand Hotel under the Play&Stay package, which means I didn’t know what room category I would be given until the very end. To make things easier for me and avoid having to check out and check back in, they gave me one standard room for the entire stay. You can imagine my surprise when I found out that my new friend, who also checked in under Play&Stay for the same dates as me, was given an Executive class room – even though she checked in later. So basically, I could have been staying in better conditions. When I received my voucher from Trip.com and saw that it listed a room like my friend’s – nothing like what I actually got – I went to the front desk. The administrator just smiled and shrugged. All he said was, 'You agreed to stay in that room.' Yes, I agreed, but no one told me about any alternatives at check-in… And the situation was NOT resolved at all. That said, I can’t say the conditions in the Deluxe Room were bad (otherwise I wouldn’t have let it slide). It was quite cozy, spacious, and overall pleasant to stay in. That said, one day, the person in charge of housekeeping apparently decided I didn’t need to take a shower, so they removed the shower gel container for a whole day (luckily, I had brought travel-sized ones with me, even though I had hoped I wouldn’t need them). Other than that, everything was fine, and even that somewhat questionable attitude from the staff didn’t ruin my vacation."

Guests can choose between 5 restaurants offering delicious Korean and international cuisines. Be it business or leisure, THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL offers guests the most convenient and comfortable facilities right in the heart of the commerce district.
"I stayed in a triple room on the 15th floor. Here's my feedback:
1. The room had excellent soundproofing, making for a quiet stay.
2. There's a direct underground passage from the lobby to Subway Line 2, which goes through Lotte Department Store.
3. There's no direct bus from Gimpo Airport to the hotel, but there is one from Incheon Airport.
4. The hotel description incorrectly states that Evian water is provided. I specifically asked for the English version at the front desk, and it only mentioned bottled water. I'm not sure why the Chinese page specifically highlights Evian when it's not actually available.
5. The closet door in the room was broken and wasn't repaired promptly after reporting it. Because the left side of the closet door was collapsed, the light inside the closet stayed on all night, which isn't ideal for guests who need darkness to sleep.
6. Complimentary toothbrushes are not provided in the room. They are available in the mini-bar for 2,000 KRW each. You can use Lotte Points to redeem them when checking out, though I'm not sure of the exact point value.
7. The gym is good, with a lot of equipment. It's open from 6 AM to 10 PM and has a front desk."

Hotels in Yongsan-gu,Seoul
Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul Yongsan stands as Korea’s premier modern upscale lifestyle hotel, offering a fresh perspective on urban stays.
Its 286 suites are a harmonious blend of sophisticated modern design, generous space, and thoughtful amenities. Guests can also enjoy full access to facilities including a fitness center, swimming pool, and sauna, making it easy to maintain a balanced lifestyle, even during longer visits.
Furthermore, the Premier Lounge on the 40th floor treats guests to breathtaking panoramic views of the Han River. Coupled with professional convention and entertainment venues, the hotel promotes a lifestyle focused on personal autonomy and well-being.
With direct access to Yongsan Station (ITX, KTX and two subway lines), the hotel offers convenient connections to key Seoul districts such as Yeouido, Itaewon and Myeongdong making it a perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers.
"I really liked the work of the administrator, the guy, and the young female translator at the front desk. She was very clever and pleasant. And that's about it. It's also probably convenient that a mall and a currency exchange are nearby, but those are everywhere, so it's not really an issue. Honestly, this hotel doesn't deserve more than a 3-star rating. The rooms are messy, the cleaning is terrible. Everything is old and dilapidated. The view is mediocre. If you arrive late, there are no stores nearby, just one small grocery store around the corner. It's a residential area. For a claimed 5-star hotel, and being listed second among the best (which is what caught my attention before I booked), it absolutely doesn't live up to it! The washing machine in the room leaks, and there's no detergent. The bathrobe 'smelled' of sweat on our first day 🤢🤮. The furniture is scratched, there are no dishes, not even a knife. What a nightmare."

The room was great, located on the 23rd floor with a stunning lake view. When I booked, I selected a three-person meal option for two adults and one child. The price for a two-person meal and a three-person meal was different at the time of booking. However, upon arrival, the hotel informed me that one of the meals in my three-person package was a complimentary children's meal. Since my child is 13 years old, exceeding the 12-year age limit, they were not eligible for the free buffet breakfast, and I was asked to pay. To avoid disrupting our travel plans and mood, I paid for the meal. However, I find this explanation completely unacceptable. I purchased a three-person meal package, but at the hotel, it was treated as if I bought two meals and received one free. If I had known it was a complimentary meal from the hotel, why would I not just book the two-person meal package and save some money?! I urge Trip.com and the hotel to communicate and provide a satisfactory resolution.

BennoxI recently stayed at Grand Mercure Ambassador Hotel and Residences Seoul Yongsan and had a wonderful experience overall. The hotel offers spacious, well-appointed rooms, excellent facilities, and a convenient location connected to Yongsan Station, making it an ideal choice for visitors to Seoul.
What truly made my stay memorable was the outstanding service provided by Amy from the Front Desk. As we were preparing to leave, we needed a vacuum cleaner to remove air from our airtight packing bags. Although this was an unusual request, Amy went above and beyond to assist us. She made an exceptional effort to locate a vacuum cleaner, checking with various departments until she was able to find one for us. Her dedication, resourcefulness, and willingness to help exceeded our expectations and reflected the hotel's strong commitment to guest satisfaction.
The rest of the staff were also professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the hotel's facilities were well maintained.
The only downside during our stay was the pillows, which we found to be a little too soft and flat for our preference. Some guests may enjoy them, but we would have appreciated firmer pillow options for better sleeping comfort.
Overall, this was an excellent stay, made even more memorable by Amy's exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Grand Mercure Ambassador Hotel and Residences Seoul Yongsan and would be happy to stay here again on my next visit to Seoul.

The airport bus goes directly to the hotel, and the service was impeccable from the moment I got off the bus until check-out. All the staff spoke excellent English and were proactive in helping with luggage, giving directions, and even making change. The location is also fantastic; I could walk to duty-free shops, Myeongdong, and other places. The nearby BBQ restaurants were also delicious. My only minor complaint is that you have to stand in the bathtub to shower.

Guest UserExcellent hotel, highly recommended. You can take Line 5 directly from Gimpo Airport to the hotel, which is just 300 meters from Mapo Station on Line 5, right by the Han River, with Yeouido Island visible across the water. Downstairs, there's a 7-Eleven and several small restaurants.
Upon entering, the scenic elevator on the left takes you to the hotel lobby on the 20th floor, offering breathtaking views of the Han River. The official check-in time is 3 PM, but I was able to check in around 2:30 PM. The front desk staff spoke fluent English, making communication seamless, and were very friendly and helpful. They also provided a hotel information sheet in Chinese, making the check-in process incredibly smooth.
I booked a Deluxe River View room, and the river view was absolutely stunning. All essential amenities were provided, and I particularly liked the circular bathtub. The mini-bar offered snacks like nuts and chocolates, drinks such as Coke and Sprite, and four types of alcoholic beverages, all for an additional charge. It's worth noting that due to Korean government regulations, disposable dental kits cost 1000 Korean Won per use, and disposable shaving kits also cost 1000 Korean Won per use.
The hotel breakfast was of excellent quality, feeling a bit superior to the average five-star hotel in Korea. There was a rich variety of salads, cold cuts, sushi, pastries, and more. There were four types of soup, including spicy beef soup and sweet pumpkin soup, and four hot dishes, such as spicy stir-fried pork and fried chicken/fish pieces. Each table could also order à la carte items like omelets and yogurt bowls.
The swimming pool on the 22nd floor is great, with both indoor and outdoor sections that connect. In the evening, the outdoor pool offers spectacular views, perfect for photos.

The bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment.
By domestic hotel standards, this place is essentially an upgraded budget hotel in terms of hardware.
Regarding the service, every staff member I encountered greeted me warmly and proactively. When my ride-share dropped me off at ground level, two attendants helped me carry my luggage upstairs.
Its location is absolutely unbeatable, right in Myeongdong. It's very close to Lotte Duty-Free, Shinsegae Duty-Free, and the Nanta show.
My final conclusion is: Is it worth over 5,000 won for two nights? I can only say that the Wyndham I stayed at in Busan for just over 700 won felt more like a five-star hotel in terms of amenities, and it only cost a third of what I paid here.

Posted on Sep 3, 2026|Classic King Room
Nijiushuoxingbuxingba？Let's start with the pros:
1. The hotel's location is excellent, right behind Shinsegae Department Store, and only about a 5-minute walk to Myeongdong shopping street.
2. There's a subway station downstairs, and the surrounding area offers plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options.
3. The hotel's style leans more towards medieval Baroque. If you're not particularly fond of this somewhat quirky decor, I'd suggest reconsidering. However, for a unique travel experience, this hotel is definitely a plus.
4. There are three Michelin-starred restaurants right on the hotel's upper floors, making it very convenient for food lovers.
Cons:
No significant issues with the hotel.

I booked the Timber Room. The location was fantastic, especially being in the Gangbuk area. While the parking lot was spacious, the corners on the ramps going up and down were extremely narrow, requiring careful navigation. The 'mountain view' wasn't really visible from our room; I kept the curtains drawn because it felt like people right next door could easily see inside, which was a bit disappointing. The swimming pool was decent, and all the staff members were very friendly. Although I didn't try breakfast, it's known to be excellent, so I plan to have it on my next visit. The TV in the living room wasn't working for some reason. I was too lazy to try and fix it, so I just ate without it. It was a shame there was no table, and the sofa felt quite old, which was also a minor drawback. Despite these minor issues, there was absolutely no noise from upstairs, downstairs, or neighboring rooms. Opening the living room window let in lovely bird sounds, making it feel very nature-friendly.

Overall, I had a good stay, although I would recommend keeping expectations reasonable for a Novotel.
The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and bright with plenty of natural light. The bed had a good level of firmness, and both the pillows and duvet were very comfortable.
However, I encountered two issues during my stay.
First, there was a problem with the motion-sensor light near the entrance of the room. It was supposed to turn on when someone entered or walked by, but the sensor in my room seemed to malfunction. The light kept turning on by itself even when no one was moving nearby, and this happened dozens of times throughout the night. As someone sensitive to light while sleeping, this was quite disruptive. I contacted the front desk the next morning, and they quickly sent a technician who removed the sensor/light system. I really appreciated how efficiently the staff handled the issue, although unfortunately it had already affected my sleep for the entire night.
Second, the bathroom floor and the area connecting the bathroom to the room were quite slippery when wet. Extra caution may be needed, especially for elderly guests or families with young children.
Before check-in, I received an email informing me that the hotel swimming pool was under maintenance and that guests would need to use the pool at the neighboring Grand Mercure instead. However, during my actual stay, the swimming pool at the 4F Fitness Club was still available for use. The information was therefore somewhat inconsistent, although it did not negatively affect my stay.
I also paid to use the sauna facilities. The area was clean and well maintained. The facilities consisted of one cold bath, one hot bath, and a dry sauna. There was no wet sauna or steam room, and I personally found the dry sauna temperature to be relatively mild. If the sauna is an important part of your stay, you may want to consider whether the facilities meet your expectations before paying the additional fee.
Overall, the room itself was comfortable and spacious, and I was impressed by how quickly the staff responded when I reported the sensor issue. There were a few minor issues with the facilities and communication, but the stay was generally pleasant. A good hotel overall, just don't set your expectations too high.

Guest UserI stayed at this hotel because it was part of our convention package. I contacted them beforehand via email to arrange a combined stay without having to switch rooms in between, and they responded quickly. The room facilities were perfectly acceptable for a five-star hotel, but having to shower inside the bathtub was a bit inconvenient. If you have luggage, I recommend taking a taxi directly to the hotel. There's a huge hill on the way from Sinnonhyeon subway station, which is tiring even when you're empty-handed. It takes about 30 minutes to get to KSPO by express taxi, or just under an hour by regular taxi. In the evening, you can order from the hotel's 24-hour room service; the Margherita pizza was decent. Alternatively, there's a small street nearby with many restaurants open late, including Korean BBQ and izakayas, and even a Twosome Place coffee shop open until 2 AM, which is great for night owls.
