"This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. If you’re staying in Seoul this is an absolute must, I will be committing to this hotel for any future stay.
Pros
Friendly and helpful staff
Central location near important subway lines
Tax free convenience store inside hotel
Superb cleanliness
Affordable rooms
Cons
The only con is that the rooms aren’t full kitted out with everyone you need right from day one. You will need to ask for pots and pans etc but this is completely understandable and hardly an issue"
"Very nice hotel however, my only complaint would be the poor explanation during check in that the outdoor pool usage was an extra charge. We weren’t made aware of that until we went to use the pool and were told it was reserved for certain guests. The next day when I went to the front desk to inquire I was told my room didn’t include the pool, didn’t even know that was an additional fee when booking."
ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)
10/10 Excellent
"Very foreigner friendly and super nice staff! Also in an area that was a quick walk from many restaurants and cute shopping places, or a short walk to the subway for exponentially more options! "
"Great staff. Clean room. I love the most of this hotel: there is no pungent scent( perfumy smell) in the lobby and other areas. I am glad that the Shilla is not doing what other five stars hotels are doing. I hope that they keep their own classic style and maintain.
Looking forward to visit again.
