ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong(Newly renovated in 2025)

＞ Excellent location, and the room size is reasonable. It’s a pleasure to greet Nanshan Tower every morning. Would you like it to sound more formal or a bit more descriptive? ＞ Excellent location, and the room size is reasonable.

The housekeeping staff did an excellent job. Spacious enough to fit several large suitcases. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great location with plenty of food options nearby. The bathroom is small but functional.

Towels had holes and were rough. Bins were not lined not sure if clean. Linens were not changed daily when we stayed for 6 nights and there were marks on the pillowcase. Location was alright, near many cafes and bakeries and bbq. Convenience store right opposite. Mammoth Coffee across the road was cheap and good. Walkable to the subway. Service was responsive but not outstanding, befitting a 3 star hotel. Some staff were more friendly and helpful than others. there was a Front counter staff who seemed to suggest that we were expecting too much from a 3 star hotel. nevertheless they provided extra pillows and a change in mattress pad to a softer one on request which we appreciate. there was a plumbing issue that was quickly resolved. however although the aircon on 10th floor allows us to adjust the temperature, the aircon automatically turns off once the temperature is reached which led to us feeling hot and cold throughout the night (in april). there was a women’s hot bath (not just a foot bath as stated) but it was unsupervised so not sure how other travelers used it and i was not comfortable to go in totally bare so i just soaked my feet for a bit which was not bad.

I love this hotel with their sincere hospitality, the tall gentlemen at the service desk checked me in and gave me a room although the official check in supposed at 2pm. the location is perfect with just a few mins walk from the sub way station which makes it easy to travel around. Staffs are superb and friendly. Would certainly stay here for my next trip to Seoul.

I had a pleasant stay at Ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong. Upon check-in, I requested to change my room from a twin to a double, and the staff were very accommodating and handled it smoothly, which I really appreciated. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The hotel’s location is also a big plus, convenient and well-situated for exploring the area. Overall, a great experience with helpful service, cleanliness, and a good location. I would definitely consider staying here again.

My room was clean and comfortable. Hotel is conveniently located and many places are accessed by foot. Best part was walking out of the hotel in the morning and sneaking into narrow pass to Ikseon Dong Hanok village with many beautiful cafes.

A great value choice stay for those who enjoy exploring iconic Seoul neighbourhoods on foot. Clean, renovated rooms, a rooftop garden with great views, secure public bath for guests, a day tour e-kiosk at the lobby, allowing for spontaneous planning of daytrips out of Seoul (min. 1 day advance), yet with Ikseon-dong hanok village cafes and shops, Changdeokgung Palace and Bukchon at your doorstep. Transport is also convenient: Jongno-3 ga subway is a 5-min walk away (10-min with luggage to Lift entry/exit), but taxis can just as easily pull up in front of the hotel. Would stay here again.
