Nestled in the heart of a bustling district, ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong is hailed for its stellar location that makes shopping and transportation a breeze, according to many guests. While travelers commend the hotel for its cleanliness and the professional demeanor of its staff, some reviewers note the rooms, though neat, can feel cramped and show signs of age.
Opinions on value are mixed, as some visitors mention additional charges for amenities. Despite this, the hotel's convenient location and clean atmosphere consistently receive high marks from guests.

Detailed Reviews
The location is perfect as you are close to a lot of shopping, restaurants, stores, and even street food vendors. It was a good hotel with a friendly staff. I arrived prior to the check in time but Irene was super helpful. The room is spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet had plenty of choices, my only issue was that coffee was not really brewed (same issue in the rooms, they had coffee bags). The hotel is probably more for families than business travel as there was no iron in the room, had to use an iron on the 10th floor but they did have laundry machines so you could do a wash. They are doing construction outside the building so in the day you can hear noise.

1) Perfect location
i) Bus 6015 Bus Stop - Direct bus from the Incheon Airport. Bus stop is located directly in front of the hotel.
ii) Subway Station Euljiro 1 (il)-ga is just 2-3 minutes walk from the hotel.
iii) Myeongdong Underground Shopping Centre is just at the foot of the hotel.
iv) Luxury shopping boutiques are in front of the hotel across the street.
v) Mid range shopping shops eg. skincare, fashion and sports apparel are just at the back of the hotel. Cafes and restaurants can be found here too. Myeongdong Food Street is also located here.
2) Perfect Service
i) Reached the hotel around 11am and was given a complimentary early check in. A great gesture which allowed us to freshen up and dress appropriately and warmly to explore the streets of Seoul.
ii) When one of us stayed in to rest, the Housekeeping lady knocked on the door to request to change our towels and empty the bins. She even requested if she could make the beds. Very thoughtful to ensure that the rooms are clean
iii) Although it was winter, the temperature in the room was just right. Not too hot and not too cold.
Tips: For my family of 2A and 2 teenagers, we decided to get 2 Standard Twin Connecting Rooms from Ibis as compared to Family Rooms in other hotels. This opened up the space for more luggage room and the best thing is that we got 2 bathrooms and 2 coat closets!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
I stayed here for 25 nights in May-June 2023. I had previously stayed at this hotel in 2012, and twice in 2014. Things have changed, in that there are less staff and no concierge to help with luggage, etc. However, the rooms have been refurbished, and I was happy with mine, although there were some issues with the bathroom. Green Tea and coffee are provided in the room. When I asked for black tea, I was told it wasn't possible. However, there was some in the breakfast room, so I took a few teabags back to my room each day. Two bottles of water are provided daily in your room, which I really appreciated. The main reason to stay here is the excellent location. Situated in Myeongdong, this hotel is in a prime location to explore the Myeongdong Markets every evening; and surrounding cafes, restaurants and shops. It's only around a ten minute walk to Namdaemun Market; and a cheap taxi ride to Gyeongbokgung, Gwanghwamun, Insadong, etc. Dongdaemun is well worth checking out for cheap prices on womens fashion, and is about ten minutes in a taxi. Taxis are cheap; but not many drivers speak English, so it's wise to have your destination written down in Hangul to make things easier. The breakfast at Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong is excellent - bacon, eggs, cereals, pastries, stir-fry meals, salads, fruit and the occasional bulgogi. It's well worth paying for the breakfast! My sincere thanks to the lovely breakfast staff, especially James, who went out of his way to help me; and was always welcoming and friendly. Thanks also to Sam on the Front Desk, who speaks excellent English, and was a great help to me. I can only highly recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Seoul who wants a hotel in a prime location with good facilities. I look forward to returning!

This is our 2nd stay after 7 years. There are now many other new hotels options around Myeongdong and the price are all very competitives. Being an Accor+ member, we decided to stick with this property. Stayed 5 nights and was quite disappointed mainly because:-
1) No complimentary upgrade for long stay despite the low occupancy due to uprising Covid 19 situation in S Korea
2) No complimentary sweets/cakes for anniversary celebration
3) Need to collect extra towels and toiletries from Reception as Housekeeping delivers only pillows. Subsequently we just made do with 2 towels for 3 pax.
4) Accor+ dining benefit is not eligible at this property
5) Bring your own shampoo and bath gel as the ones provided are very poor quality.
6) There is rarely someone at the Concierge counter on level 1 so need anything, have to go to level 19 reception.
Despite the above, the property is clean. The standard room with 1 small queen bed is sufficient for us as 2 adults and a 5 yr old. Did not dare to use the common spa bath due to the current situation hence not sure if it is still good. We will not stay here again if we return to Seoul.
Myeongdong is a convenient place to stay if your visit is short, however, other than cosmetics, food and shopping are generally more expensive there. And the place is lack of character.

Stayed here 1 night with my wife and kid. The hotel room was small, parking is payable 15K won a night (with coming in and going out privileges) however there is limited parking and every time you want to drive out you need to inform the reception before.
Reception is on the top floor.
The rooms do not have a bath tub and the bed was average. No bidet which was surprising.
We had been given a corner room but the wifi was so weak at that spot that it was frustrating.
It was raining heavily when we were there but the hotel did not have any umbrellas to loan us. No worry you can buy some at the shopping area
What was amazing was the location, you are right at the heart of myeongdong and close to subways and bus stops. Very convenient for travelling around. Many food choices in myeongdong. Lotte department store is just across the street.
Hotel Room: 3 Stars (Small room, tight bath area, hard bed, no bath tub no bidet )
Room View: 4 Stars (View of Lotte Department store)
Service of Staff: 3 Stars (A bit short handed as they have many guests and you might have to wait a while to be attended to)
Lounges/Restaurants: NA
Room Service: NA
Location: 5 Stars (Near the shopping area, many transport options)

Room is not entirely clean up.
Hotel should provide free shulte to nearby place of interest (which was provided previously).
Size of the room is much smaller, and price is slightly higher, as compared to nearby hotel, e.g. Pan Pacific.

서울에서 가장 합리적인 가격에 남산 뷰, 쾌적한 룸과 객실 업그레이드 서비스까지 받아볼 수 있어서 체크인부터 아주 기분이 좋았습니다. 적당한 가격과 전망, 깔끔한 룸까지 고려한다면 이보다 좋은 호텔은 없을 듯 싶네요.
그리고 조용한 로비와 친절하면서도 편안한 직원들의 응대도 돋보이는 곳입니다. I was very happy from check-in because I was able to receive Namsan view, pleasant room and room upgrade service at the most reasonable price in Seoul. Considering the reasonable price, the view, and the neat room, there seems to be no better hotel than this.
It also has a quiet lobby and friendly yet comfortable staff.

I was grateful for the service, such as the early check-in, which allowed me to take a nap after a long-distance flight. This hotel features a sky lobby, so there is no lobby on the first floor.
Based on the many pieces of luggage I saw, this hotel seems to be fully booked most of the time. The main attraction of this hotel is its location, a haven for anyone who enjoys shopping for personal care, skin care, face care products, and more.
The amenities here are quite minimal. They only provide two bottles of mineral water per day, with no extras. The mineral water policy was quite surprising to me. As a member of the group, I thought all their chains would provide it for free. Another big surprise was when I asked for toothpaste, they told me to get it at the front desk. However, when I arrived, they charged me for the toothpaste, so I decided to buy it myself at a nearby mart, which was very close.
I decided to give this hotel a mediocre rating as I did not enjoy the policy that everything needed to be paid for, including amenities.

The location is really good, easily walking distance to the shopping area, night street market and lots of restaurants. The airport shuttle bus is at the doorstep which makes airport transfer is easily accessible.
The room is small but quite acceptable with the standard amenities. Breakfast at level 19, pretty good with nice selections. I would recommend this hotel for a nice stay in Seoul with good values for money and experience.

Checked in yesterday. We were given a decent room, then they offered us an "upgrade" eventhough we didn't ask for one and we ended being in a smaller room with smaller windows than the first... if you have read the reviews. You know the rooms are already tiny. Smaller windows means room is darker and with one of the lighbulbs not working, it is a dark room.
That's not the worse... one of the beds has lost support on one side. The beds also have a musty smell. Tiny dark rooms are bad enough but not being to have a good night rest is not acceptable.
After explaining to front desk, who promised to look into fixing the bed or changing the room, we came back today and they said the hotel is full. What about fixing the bed?
On their booking website, the room rates included breakfast, on our first morning going for breakfast we found that they do not serve breakfast. When questioned, front desk said that because of the pandemic, they did away with the breakfast but it was not reflected. I do not understand why the cafe is open but they cannot do breakfast. This just seems like an excuse to cut corners.
They have also changed the entrance. It's not reflected on Google map. So good luck to finding the place.
And did I mentioned the shower head? It must be the tiniest one I have seen. Like 10cm wide? Disappointing even for an Ibis.
If you are looking for a good night rest and a nice shower, staff and operations who fulfil their service promise, avoid this hotel.
