Reviews of Novotel Ambassador Seoul Yongsan - Seoul Dragon City

The hotel is in a convenient location, close to the subway station. It takes less than half an hour to get to popular spots like Myeongdong and Hongdae, making getting around very easy. The room was very clean and the bedding was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Korea.

I have to say, compared to hotels of the same price range in China, the environment here is a bit inferior, and the facilities are a bit old. But since it was arranged by the conference, there's nothing I can do. The transportation is really convenient, and you can browse the women's clothing stores in the big mall next door; after all, they're much cheaper than in Shanghai and the styles are better.

We had a wonderful stay at Novotel Ambassador Seoul Yongsan. The hotel was clean, modern, comfortable, and very well maintained. The location was especially convenient, with Yongsan Station nearby, making it easy to get around Seoul by train and subway. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the hotel had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful whenever we had questions. We also really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the hotel—it felt upscale without being overly formal. Another big plus was having shopping, restaurants, and transportation so close by. It made exploring Seoul much easier, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay at Novotel Ambassador Seoul Yongsan again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and high-quality hotel in Seoul.

This Novotel is decent; it's conveniently connected to a shopping mall and the subway. The environment is also acceptable. However, the service isn't as good as the Novotel Dongdaemun. When cleaning the room, they only made the bed and replenished the toilet paper and water, leaving everything else untouched. Overall, it's a good review, and the location is very convenient.

Great Great Great! Would like to come again! Great location and facilities!

The hotel is conveniently located near Yongsan Train Station and the subway station, making public transportation and taxis easily accessible. The rooms are quite large and very spacious. The hotel staff are enthusiastic and provide great service. The only downside is that there aren't many restaurants nearby, or they are a bit far away.

Yongsan Station is quite convenient, making it easy to get to the airport or transfer to other lines. The room's soundproofing is decent, though there's an indescribable smell in the hallway. The convenience store next door at Ibis is pretty handy for buying things.

It was decent and clean. The location is superb, right by Yongsan Station! It's also close to the National Museum of Korea, and shopping at Yongsan Station is so convenient. Next time, I'm thinking of trying the Mercure too.

The facilities were impeccably clean, which made for a very comfortable trip! Plus, there's a convenience store right inside the building, and it's directly connected to the station, so I didn't get wet in the rain and could comfortably pick up anything I needed!

This was my second stay here, mainly because it's so close to iPark Mall. The service is pretty mediocre though; they don't even offer turndown service. The location is definitely a plus, as it's convenient to get anywhere from here.

The location is decent, especially for the price, as Yongsan Station is nearby and offers easy access to everywhere. Breakfast was also quite satisfactory and met my basic needs. However, the double bed being two single beds pushed together was a bit disappointing.

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.

Connected to Yongsan Station Exit 3 via a covered skybridge, this hotel is just two stops away from the transportation hub of Seoul Station, making it quite convenient for reaching major shopping areas. The lobby is grand, definitely five-star quality, and the rooms were even newer than expected – it doesn't feel like a hotel that opened in 2017; perhaps it's been renovated? On the downside, there's no convenience store directly below the hotel, so if you want snacks or drinks at night, you have to buy them on your way back from the subway. Also, the bathroom sink area is open-concept, and there's no shelf in the shower, meaning you have to step out to get dressed after showering, which is a bit inconvenient. Housekeeping wasn't very thorough; they occasionally forgot to restock tissues and towels. Despite these minor issues, I stayed for five nights and was generally satisfied. I'd still consider this hotel for my next trip to Seoul.

I had to stay an extra day and booked this place in a hurry. There was a bit of a hassle due to a pricing display issue with Trip.com, but it was quickly resolved, allowing me to stay another day without any problems. The view was a bit disappointing as it's currently a construction site below. Since it wasn't a high floor and the right side was blocked by a protruding building, the view was limited. The bathtub was great and the bedding was superb. Most importantly, it's directly connected to Yongsan Station Exit 3, which was incredibly convenient. Enjoyed my 'hocance' (hotel vacation) during the hot summer.
