Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong

Great and strategic location, within walking distance to Myeongdong Street

The location is outstanding. I've tried four different hotels in the area and this one is the best. Metro stations are nearby to take you anywhere around Seoul. You can walk out of the hotel and into the heart of Myeongdong with its vibrant night life, street food, shopping, and entertainment. With all the fantastic street food don't miss the Michelin soup shop named Myeongdong Kyoja for lunch, and an evening on "chicken street" enjoying Korean fried chicken and beer / soju from any one of 7-8 locations side-by-side. Staff was fantastic, rooms quiet and clean, and breakfast had a number of lovely options with the dining room on the 19th floor overlooking Seoul and the Tower. We loved staying here.

Location is superb. It's right beside the Airport Limousine 6015 bus stop and besides the buzzling street between Lotte Mall and Myeongdong Shopping District. Room has one international socket while the rest are local sockets. The toilet seat has a warmer which is great for cold weather. There's one mini chiller for drinks and banana milk. One new bottle of drinking water per person per day whether you have drunk it or not.

This hotel is located in the middle of Myeongdeong street where you can buy street food and some souvenirs in the street easily! Just turn left from the hotel, you can find CU Mart first and then you can immediately walk around the street. The hotel also provides self-laundry service with coin: 5,000 KRW for washer and 5,000 KRW for dryer. You need extra 1,000 KRW to buy the detergent packet. The staffs are very friendly and helpful! They can speak and understand English perfectly! Tip for traveling in South Korea: please download Naver Map instead of using the usual Google Map! If you are from Incheon International Airport T1/T2, I suggest you use AREX or Express Railroad to Seoul Station. From Seoul Station (pls make sure the train direction is correct before boarding!), you can get off at Myeongdong Station and use exit 6, but a heads up! You need to walk for 9 minutes or 628m to reach the hotel. Or from Seoul Station, you can get off at City Hall station and then exchange train to Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station. Use exit number 5, walk around 5 minutes, and then u can see the hotel. (note: The stations, durations, exit numbers, and walking distance are based on Naver Map and my experience)

Our room, though small like most in Korea, was clean and quiet with a modern look and feel. The lobby, bar and breakfast area were on the 19th floor which provided nice views of the surrounding area including the Seoul Tower. The main benefit of Ibis Ambassador was to walk out of the hotel into the amazing Myeongdong neighborhood with incredible shopping and restaurants. Spend one night grazing on the upscale street food. I also recommend a night on the fried chicken street (Chir Chir Chicken was AWESOME), and lunch at the Michelin starred Myeongdong Kyoja. Metro to visit other parts of Seoul & Korea via train is a short walking distance, this is the place to stay.
