Insadong / Bukchon
The hotel is perfectly located in this new trendy place called Ikseon. Lots of small streets with restaurants and coffee shops full of life in the evenings. Walking distance to lots of Seoul hotspots. The room was clean and nice and the staff helped us book a car to the airport. Will definitely recommend this hotel and the location to friends visiting Seoul in the near future
Ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong
4.4/5338 Reviews
Myeong-dong
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….
