From start the hotel staff was attentive in replying mails and answring calls. The access via airport bus was excellent and its locaton near metro station and bus stops as well as near areas was good to best. The free drink and room upgrade certainly helped me grade this hotel = "ABOVE EXPECTATIONS" . The cleanliness especially the shoe box... more

The hotel is a business class hotel. Good service and prompt check in. Nice clean spacious rooms. Its location is pretty central although none of the shopping districts are within walking distance (unless you are willing to walk about 30 mins to Dong Dae Mun or Myeongdong). By taxi, these shopping districts are less than 5 minutes away. There is... more

This is a hotel Sofiel. We were upgraded to an executive level so that meant free unlimited coffee and espresso and access to the library:) Great location with easy access to Seoul's vast subway. Rooms were some of the quietest and cleanest we've stayed in. The staff were very helpful and loved to play with our toddler. In general, Koreans... more

I have stayed Six nights at Grand Ambassador. It is located in the north side of Hann River so far from Business and financial district of Seoul but partly close to main city and historical places. Rooms are big enough and very well facilitated. you will find much more than your expectationes in your room. High speed Internet (ADSL cable),... more

First, Be careful when booking on Sofitel web site. It is misleading. When I booked our rooms I upgraded my rooms so I could have breakfast included. When I checked in they said my breakfast was not included. I had paperwork with me. They still said it was not. When I booked my room I requested joining rooms and one... more

LOCATION: The hotel has a great location. It is near downtown and a 2 minute walk to the subway. You can be pretty much anywhere in Seoul in 15-20 minutes. ROOMS: I got upgraded to an executive room from a superior room for free. It was a pleasant suprise. The room was bright, airy, with good amenities to include robes... more

went there with a group of friends. We booked 3 rooms for 3 consecutive nights through travel agent before we took off. We presented our hotel voucher to the front desk, the man served us claimed that they did not have record for 3 nights but only 2 nights. Our voucher stated clearly what we booked, and the staff did... more

Sofitel is a good hotel with affordable rates when compared with other topend hotels in Seoul. The rooms are a good size and relatively clean. As with many hotels these days the laundry, minibar and internet charges are ridiculous, but roomservice was reasonable given the quality of the food. It is just a short ($1) train ride anywhere and like... more

My husband & I stayed in this Sofitel hotel for a week in May of 2009. The hospitality of the employees exceeded our expectations; friendly, professional & knowledgable. Our room had a view of Namsan tower , very clean, comfortable bed & pillows. We loved the strong water pressure in our shower & the heated toilet seat. Breakfast buffet is... more

A comfortable & competent hotel. I was on a busy 2-night trip to Seoul, and needed a hotel providing pleasant and well-run accommodation. The Ambassador did not disappoint. Late evening arrival was no problem, checkin was efficient. I was upgraded from Superior Double to Suite as they couldn't provide the booked room - but who can complain at that? Staff... more
