    The Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong in Seoul is a fantastic choice for staying in the Myeongdong area for shopping and a good base for exploring Seoul in general. Alongside the major department stores and shops immediately outside the hotel there are also a wide selection of restaurants just round the corner from the hotel. And the Myeongdong night Market is very close by also. For Travelling around Soeul the Uiluro 1 metro station is very close to the Hotel. The Breakfast buffet of the Hotel is very good if needed, and so are the rooms, given the location of the hotel it's very quiet and peaceful at night if you have a room on the higher floors, and if you stay in a queen sized room it's very sizable. The hotel staff are very warm and approachable if you have any queries. Thank you very much, It was a wonderful stay, and I would very much like to recommend this hotel for staying in Myeongdong and indeed staying in Seoul. Hope to stay with you again on my next trip to Seoul. Many Thanks.

    - no toiletries provided. Only towels provided.

    - the location was excellent. - the ease to getting the buses and trains were excellent - staff was super friendly and were very knowledgeable in helping us with our queries. - cleaning staff were great and cleaned the room very well and also were very helpful - taking the Airport bus 6015 was very convenient. 100% should be the way for ppl to get to this hotel. In short, we would definitely stay here again for sure. Staff being super friendly and helpful was really super positive experience.

    Great value and good location, but super compact and naming confusion
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The room and bathroom were very small, barely enough space for luggage and personal belongings. The bathroom, in particular, felt quite cramped. Still, both were adequate for the basics as expected from a three-star hotel. We booked for two adults and a child, and although the hotel was aware of this, there was only enough linen for two people. A third towel and pillow for our child would have been expected, especially since our booking included him. We did not try the breakfast, so can't comment on the food. One source of frustration was the similar branding and naming on Google Maps: there is both an Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong and an Ibis Styles Ambassador Myeongdong just a few blocks apart. The names are too alike, causing confusion with Uber and navigation—clearer differentiation would help avoid mix-ups, as the distinctions in "styles" and logo color aren’t always obvious.

    Central location, perfect for exploring the vibrant Myeongdong shopping district, everything is within walking distance. The hotel offers good value for money and reliable standards, as you would expect from the Ibis brand. Rooms were clean, functional, and equipped with all essentials needed for a short city break. Despite the compact size, the quiet and efficient air conditioning made the stay comfortable.

    The location! Airport bus 6015 is pretty much right in front of the property. Street foods & shopping are all right there. Subway and bus stations are all nearby as well. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

    Room was very small. Hardly any place to open your suitcase except on top of your bed. The bed was a bit lumpy.

    Location was fantastic. Staff was helpful, cheerful and very welcoming. Special shout out to Jacob who explained in detail how to get to the destinations we inquired about.

    The room was quite small, especially the bathroom. There weren’t enough hooks to hang clothes or shelf space for toiletries.

    It’s a perfect location in Myeongdong. There’s a subway station close by and a bus stop right outside. It’s very walkable to a few attractions like Gwangjang Market. Myeongdong night market is outside the hotel. Two bottles of water were provided daily which helped as staff said the water wasn’t potable.

    I didn't like that it took a long time for the room to cool and that it felt slightly humid.

    Loved the central location in Myeongdong! Parking is available at the hotel and at a cheaper rate. Friendly and accommodating staff. The bed was comfortable and large. The breakfast was enjoyable. The rooms were surprisingly quiet. I did not hear any noise from the adjacent rooms or from outside.

    It had a bar and restaurant, but it wasn’t open during the time you needed a bar and restaurant to be open. You couldn’t get an afternoon cocktail.
