"This was my second time staying here. My biggest problem is that check-in isn’t until 6 which is ridiculous. But otherwise it is a lovely property."

ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong

8/10 Good

"The hotel is ok because it was recently renovated. Room size is small. There is only 2 washers and dryers for guests to use. You need to pay for them. Bathroom has a smell from either fan or sewer. The hotel’s location is good and it is close to line 3 subway."
