We made a good decision booking Ibis Ambassador Myeong-dong for our first trip to Korea.The hotel’s location is so convenient as it is located right at Myeong-dong’s night market. As Muslim travellers, we also had the option and convenient access to halal eateries which were just a few minutes walk from the hotel. There are many more halal food options slightly further away , maybe about a 10minutes walk which is still very convenient.
The airport limousine bus stop is located right at the corner of the hotel which is also a big plus point since we didn’t have to worry about getting from and to the airport.
They accept either cash or card for the ticket which cost KRW17.00 per person.The journey depending on traffic takes about 1.5 hrs and the frequency of the bus ,number 6015 is good.
Being a 3 star hotel don’t expect any facilities. They do have a small gym and spa and a cafe/ restaurant where breakfast is served. We had breakfast on the 2nd day due to an early tour( Breakfast starts at 6.30am) but it was quite disappointing as the food like the scramble eggs was cold ….the only good thing was they had good coffee!😃
As for the room, the size was fine for my husband and I but the toilet was a bit small but still ok I guess .The only thing that I would appreciate is more lights in the room. Even with all the lights on it was gloomy…we had our curtains open to the max which was good in the day but at night …….you can use your imagination.😜
Conclusion:Will we stay here again 🤔…the answer is Yes….

The Good Great location. Great location to enjoy Myeongdong street. Night market of Myeongdong is so lively and beautiful and unique experience for Seoul trip. Obviously it feels much safer to stay at hotel nearby. As for hotel, they got nice wine shop at first floor. Their lobby located on low floor and not 1st floor. Although, there is guardman on 1st floor who seems to be reliable. Roof top bar is also in good prices unlike usual ”hotel price”. I stayed at ”low bed” room which seems to be unusual for Korea. It was comfortable and that different experience was fun. The BEST Staff are amazing. I personally think Shilla are in line of Lotte's rivary. (two of top Korean hotel brands) Staffs at this hotel were so amazing. They seemed to have great balance with character. I've seen staff who are sweet and very friendly. While I've also seen staff with sharp and precise manner. Shila staff are professional with more ”trained” manner. Very polite. I have no complain but the friendliness is always more welcome for me. The lady at rooftop bar was a goddess. Not only she was beautiful(excuse me). Her works were very well oriented and professional. Constantly eye checking on the floor, checkin on guests condition and making sure everything is all right, a friendly communication with foreign kids. It was past 11pm and they were about to close if I remember correctly. Unless a five star luxury hotel, at this time of the business, staff are chatting, ready to set free from work. No, not at all. They acted as if they just opened the bar. I really felt strange. The Bad Breakfast is operated by a tenant restaurant. So totally different experience. It kinda breaks the whole experience of hotel and basically, it's tenant restaurant so they won't treat you like hotel guest. They are polite but can't response anything to do with hotel. If you've travelled Korea or Seould before, I beleive there are no stress. but if you are first timer, there could be more helpful service for foreigner, easier access, easier location etc. There are so many different hotels in Myeongdong so I can't give comparison. Although, it's Korean brand and I believe it worth a stay.

the shower celling is SUPER low so if you are above 170cm I don't think you'd be able to get a proper shower in. the shower head is also on a fixed height is you can't adjust it. overall the hotel is quite clean except for some mold stains in the shower ceiling and the vents. however it is quite a distance away from the train station and there are roughly about 10 steps of stairs.

Location: First of all, it was located in front of the bar of Chungmuro Station, so the accessibility was very good! As soon as I got off the station, it was easy to find because it was right there, and it was easy to move to the subway. In addition, there are many food nearby, so I ordered it to be delivered in the evening. At night, I went out with my friends and played in my favorite bar. 🍻 Room interior, cleanliness: First of all, the room stayed in a room for three people, but it was wider than I thought, so three people went to sleep. It was enough, very neat and clean. There was also a table, so it was easy to eat, and it was okay to bring a laptop and see the work! The bathroom is clean and Netflix is available (you need to use your own ID). There is a washing machine, induction, and sink, so you can cook and wash! (I haven't used it, but,) it was just new and tidy because the bathroom was just built. Is it a little unusual that the sink is on the outside? It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't as noisy as Hongdae or Sinchon. It was nice to be quiet at night, not like a noisy downtown area, but because of its good accessibility and location, it was convenient to use public transportation and places to eat or cafes around. It was nice to have a lot! I stayed with my friends, but I think it would be suitable if you are looking for a place to stay for long-distance business trips or business purposes.. !

A hotel in a unique location for exploring Seoul using public transport or on foot. Many shops and restaurants around the hotel allowing you to stock up on food, clothing, or cleaning supplies. In the immediate vicinity, there is an airport bus stop (approx. 300-400 metres), which is an additional advantage of this location. The hotel staff are helpful and smiling, and tourist guides and maps in many languages are available in the lobby. Room clean, nevertheless its area and setting are not functional for larger families (room for five people). Recommended for short and intensive trips to Seoul.

3rd or 4th time staying here only because it’s convenient. There’s a direct limousine bus from the airport that stops just opposite the hotel. The nearest train station exit (exit 6) is full on all stairs though so keep in mind if you have luggage. Check in is easy but I’m still iffy about using code numbers for my room because anyone can break in easily. Had breakfast coupons but didn’t go as the last time I went it was close to nothing. Staff is nice and helpful as always.

Good location, and there are many restaurants nearby. There is a shuttle bus stop of Incheon airport in front of the hotel. It's very handy that there is a washing machine/dryer in the room. However, it is a pain in the **** that you have to book to use the pool, and you can only book once a day per room. A couple won't always go swimming at the same time. There are only two lifts in the hotel room tower. You have to be patient. The perfume in the lobby was a bit pungent.

Hotel was great, 7 mins walk from yongsan station, very convenient as it is a major hub, however no toothbrush provided, room services was not done even though the tag was placed. Security guard was very rude and bad attitude. Overall still a great experience

GGuest User2024.08.15
Loved it so much, this is my second time staying here.
Fantastic location - centrally located, can get anywhere in 10-30 mins. Bus stop right in-front of the hotel and Sinsa station 5 mins away. There’s a 7-11 next to the hotel. There’s food places around the Garousu-Gil shopping area - lots of the locals hang out there. There’s a cafe (lobby) and rooftop bar in the hotel. 10 mins walk to the Airport bus stop - super convenient to take the bus to/from the airport.
Rooms are clean and minimalist. Just take note that amenities are limited as this is an eco friendly hotel. If you are travelling with someone bring or buy additional soap/shampoo as its bar soap/shampoo/conditioner (1 bar each). If you don’t want your room cleaned daily - hotel does leave a bag of clean towels and water top up at your door. Floor space it’s good to open 3 large suitcases flat. There are slots under the bed to keep 2 suitcases just like their photos show.
Only thing lacking is hanging space - towel and clothes.
Loved the free Dear Klairs skincare samples. Store was located down the street from the hotel, picked up a few things because of the samples.
You can keep your luggage in the lobby so you don’t need to pay extra for a locker.

GGuest UserMy first time at Le Méridien Seoul , new hotel , 6 months old , super clean , great rooms facilities , good buffet breakfast , maybe a bit under staffed during rush hours but staff were very nice . Superb lounge at the 15 floor with very friendly and helpful staff special thanks to Mrs Sharon Kim and Mrs Rachael Kim for there valued help for restaurants and tips for side seen and shopping , Will go back for sure next time I will in Seoul !
EEkaiiiA hotel with modern design, clean and cozy. Great location access city center. Staff are professional and friendly. They let me checked in room early 10am when room available, appreciated! Hotel facilities are fully equipped. Money exchange machine at lobby with good rate, it saved a lot of time searching around. Free water dispenser and great coffee at lobby as well. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone who plan visit Seoul.
SssylviaThe hotel was a bit small, but it had everything I needed and it was in the perfect location. Located in the heart of Myeongdong shopping street and also very conveniently located next to the metro station. Would recommend to solo travellers.
EEileenThe hotel is very clean. Location is very good. It’s next to escalator up from Arex line. Breakfast is average, every day the same thing. We stayed for 5 nights, we ate the same thing for 5 morning. The hotel can be more flexible in term of letting guest to check-in earlier than stipulated time when there’s room available. My experience was, you feel the staff trying to help or check if there’re room ready for early check-in (even I’m willing to pay). They rejected me directly. I believe there’re guest check-out earlier to catch their flight. This is the only negative point for me.
AAnonymous UserLocation is more suitable for business travellers who want to work & commute in financial district, otherwise there’s not much to do in this whole area as it’s very hard to find a decent or simple eatery which opens near late night compared to living in Dongdaemun and Gangnam. Our room is located high and we can have a glance of the nearby buildings and overlooked further. They don’t provide full amenities compared to 2 other 5-stars hotels we had stayed in during this trip. So prep yourself with our necessary amenities like earbuds, combs, earplugs, sewing kits if needed in any case..
The hotel room is quite spacious and toilet is equipped with a bathtub which we didn’t get to utilise at all but my child had once because she wanted to play a bath bomb for 10 mins. Other items like ironing board, iron, Nespresso coffee machine, distilled water bottles, beverages and condiments, safe box, fridge were all provided.
And I find it quite troubling as there were too many ‘big-country’ tourists either staying in the hotel or those living in Seoul going to the Hyundai Seoul mall to buy luxury goods. And the entire mall is crazily flooded and packed with youngsters on the day of our check-in and the next day. Some came to window-shop while most others came in for food and perhaps after meals, to seek shelter and shield from the cold. You won’t be believed this you can’t even find a place to eat as all fast food eateries, snacks counters and restaurants were fully unavailable. There were basically long queues everywhere you go. Ended up my super famished poor child had to walk a long way with us & venture out in the cold to find any available restaurant to have our dinner.
International breakfast is served daily at L5 and the buffet spread is limited compared to the one we stayed & had in Dongdaemun. We had to pay additional 55,000KRW (SGD55) per day for our young child to dine in with us as her breakfast was not included in our accommodation package. I think it’s really too expensive and given that we always came down only at 9.30am and the breakfast stopped at 10am sharp. The food she always had was a small bowl of cereal, 4 small bite-sized hash-browns and a glass of milk only where she had to eat fast within 30mins before they closed for the day. For such price paid, it’s totally not worth it and we can’t avoid paying lesser despite they knew we only had 30 mins left to dine.
Overall the concierge service crews’ attitude and professionalism were excellent and Fairmont had the best staffs with great service i encountered during our 3 weeks stay across 3 different 5-stars hotels. I wished I will have another chance to stay here again but the price for each night is SGD450++, which is really expensive.
GGuest UserWe enjoyed our room the most and felt that we had a good night's rest here. This is a semi budget friendly hotel that is close to the palace/park areas of Seoul. The room was clean and well appointed with two comfy beds, two good pillows per bed, a chair, cabinets and drawers to store stuff, a big tv, robes and sandals. The bathroom was nice too with good shower pressure and one of those shower valves where you can pick the temperature you want. The toilet flushed quietly and there was plenty of shower space. There are frosted windows in the bathroom which help let in natural day light but if your partner uses it at night you will see the lights come on.
The location was decent but the metro was further than expected. When we booked trip.com showed us that it was 330m from Dongmyo Station but it was actually closest to jongno 5 entrance 2 which was a 10 minute walk away from the hotel. The palace and Hanbok areas are very close to the hotel and there are frequent busses in the area to take you to the major attractions and areas. Nearby the hotel there are many convenience stores but there are limited restaurant options outside of coffee shops.
The breakfast at the hotel was ok. We found there was a good variety but if you went too early (7:30 am) nothing was out yet and if you went later (8:30) everything was limited. The hot items were not as hot as we liked them to be despite the heaters so it might be worth getting early and getting your food when it comes out so it is nice and hot. There were scrambled eggs, fried eggs, marbled cheese the one day, stuff to make salad, an onion soup, mushroom soup, fried rice, a hot vegetable (one day it was potato and the next it was mushrooms), hot dogs, cut up fruit, bread/toaster, cut up muffins, orange juice, coffee and tea. There was enough to get by and there are pricey a la carte options. The restaurant was a little drafty when we went but it was just enough to get us started each day.
The staff at the hotel were friendly and allowed us to store our baggage when we arrived early so we could go out and explore the city. When we actually checked in it was smooth and quick. The elevators are a little tricky at the hotel and you have to pay attention to which elevator is closest to you and press that button. There are two elevators but there are two separate buttons to call them so it is worthwhile looking where the elevators are and choosing accordingly. The hotel also has a coin laundry facility and a meeting area. The lobby is also nicely appointed with furniture and a small drinks shop but being there in December we wouldn't want to hang out there long.
SSun K.My experience with Shilla Stay Mapo was great! All the staff members that I encountered were very professional, friendly, and helpful. My room was tidy and had all the essential for my solo trip in Seoul. (and if you run out of some stuff, there’s a convenient store right next to the hotel. Like right next to it) Also, the location of the hotel was just perfect for a tourist like me since the metro station (Gongdeok) and bus stops were at less than 5 min walking distance :)
OorbitantOne thing to keep in mind is that early check-in and late check-out come with additional charges. I paid for 2 extra hours to check in early and ended up extending another night to accommodate a late check-out at 8 pm.
Don’t expect typical concierge services like at hotels, as the check-in process is entirely self-service. The online customer service can be challenging, especially if you don’t read Korean. However, you can walk to their office on street level at the corner if you need assistance in person.
Overall, if you’re looking for a clean, well-equipped, and conveniently located place in Gangnam with a sense of independence, this is a great option. Just be prepared for the absence of standard hotel services and potential extra costs for early/late check-ins and basic toiletries.
Cciel_202the room was the cleanest i have ever stayed in Seoul for the first time (I have been to korea for over 10times) and all staffs are nice and kind whom are easily communicative in english.
however about amenities were not ready enough which is the reason why i put 3/4 for amenities. toothbrushes should have been placed on the specific place, but they haven't placed when we were in the room, so i needed to ask to get these at the check-in counter.
anyways, we are happy to have stayed at your room!
we are sure that we will stay your hotel for the coming next time.
thank you:)
ps we recommend you the bar at the 2nd floor same as the check in counter.
4442sanaaeI loved the fact that the location is perfect for a quite night as well as it’s so closed to Namsan tower for a beautiful walk in morning, Myeongdong for shopping and sightseeing in evening time and many places I can get to in less than 15 mins The guest house is perfectly clean , they have a healthy breakfast as well as a projector where I played my favorite movies at night before heading to sleep. The family are so nice and always there to help me with everything I needed ^_^ I recommend this place for long term and short term stays~~
