Ambassador s is ok
Expensive breakfast with plenty of choices didn't bother to go again
It's a little bit out the way from the city and if you wanted to do stuff in mind don't get a hotel closer

It’s a lovely hotel with spacious rooms. Not many places nearby, need to walk out to find a convenience store or restaurant. Airport limousine stops here, very convenient.

Sufficiently close to night markets and touristic places and sufficiently distant from them to feel out of town. Many dining and convenience stores options nearby.
Good breakfast.

The hotel itself was beautiful, very clean and modern rooms. The views from the lounge were superb.
There was a distinct lack of vegetarian food options at all of the restaurants within the hotel which was disappointing.

The family room is very nice. It's a smart room. They clean and provide towels, water etc daily . Personnels are helpful and pleasant. Our view from the family room is amazing!! We can see the Seoul tower from our room. The only thing I don't like is the poor access to subway. We practically call Uber taxi each time. A bit hefty for the whole duration of our stay ( 4 days). Their buffet breakfast was yummy. Variety of choices. The cafe latte is a bum!! I would recommend this hotel when your in myeongdong area.

Room comfort was good. Throughout my stay housekeeping replenishment was poor. had to ask almost daily for towels, coffee capsules etc. no more umbrellas to hand out on rainy day.
I asked about VIP benefits on check in but was told they were NOT an Expedia VIP hotel.

3. Good amenities- you can request for humidifier, iron set and so on. Whatever you request, they are ready to help!!
4. 5 star hotel- good laundry service!!! Don’t expect laundry machine
5. Nice breakfast. It’s a bit expensive but the quality is good. Very healthy and good ingredients
6. Easy access to everything- nice parks nearby, subway stations near by, lots of restaurants, nice location to visit Korean must visit places
We stayed here for 1 week with 5 different families. We had a family trip together. They were very helpful and kind! The price was very reasonable as well! We loved here!! Easy structure parking for free as well!! I loved their service a lot

Hotel itself was beautiful, cleaning maids do a fantastic job. Breakfast in the kings buffet was great but the Dinner though at the buffet isn’t worth 150k won- around £116 pp, and by 930 they rushing you out the door as close at 10pm.
Swimming pool is great throughout the day, as can be very humid. Great location for us, and like everywhere in Seoul - lots of local shops, restaurants etc nearby. The doormen are the stars of the place though/ massive help for us navigating/exploring - gave some great ideas where to go see the REAL Seoul.
Would stay there again.

The room was very clean. Bed sheets were white, crisp, n clean. No orders. Bathroom was very clean. Housekeeping was excellent. The showers should have safety handles because the floors can be slippery. We had a very comfortable stay. Staff were very kind and professional. Also spoke English. The Ambassador- Pullman was a good choice!

Beautiful hotel. Breakfast delicious.
Kind of weird that any normal changes to the room is only done through a third party booking system. Which they never returned my 3 phone calls while there. Lunch buffet I did not do because I was stopped at the door and told ahead of time is was $80.

Two parts to this review. On the positive side, reception staff were very helpful & beds were super comfy. For negative, outdoor pool came with hefty price tag and food not available in the pool terrace at lunchtime. Also, very child focused with minions stickers everywhere. Did not feel like a relaxed environment.
