Very disappointing stay. The front office staff were not very accommodating or flexible with requests eg. Options for late check out. The room was very basic and dated. Not great as tourist accommodation. Would be more appropriate for a business stay as kitchen and laundry facilities in the room. This was the most expensive but disappointing accommodation we stayed in out of the 4 accommodations we stayed in throughout South Korea. There is a train station walking distance away which we utilised a lot as there were no shops or restaurants in walking distance around the property.

HORRIBLE Check-in experience

A young man at the front desk for checking - in was HORRIBLE - rude, ruthless, and idiotic. From the beginning, he was reluctant to answer the questions I asked about gym, and that snobbish attitude continued throughout the check-in process. He said the hotel only provides ONE PAD for my dog throughout the whole period of stay regardless of how many days a customer stays, which does not make any sense at all. When the manager came over, he changed his word as "one per day" - a LIAR. If he stays there next time I visit this hotel, and consistently being a snob, I will be posting his photo here and on social media. They should not hire someone so rude and idiotic at FIVE STAR hotel. They also have a strange rule that one can only visit the gym ONCE per Day - the gym is not crowded at all, and don't make any sense to make such a rule. The amenities are great, but the location is very inconvenient as there is no infrastructure in the area except for iPark Mall. I mainly visited this hotel as I can stay quietly and focus on working.

Although the place was decent, the washer/dryer combo didn’t work well. The dryer didn’t dry my pants or jackets. The hotel had three separate staff double check the issue and finally, one French staff told me that the dryer doesn’t dry clothes 100%. And the hotel offered me to dry my clothes for free however only the hours between 4-9 pm. I am on vacation and don’t have a set schedule! I had repeated three times for the housekeeper to leave some disposable shower sponges daily. The restaurants on site, do not take solo guests since the menu is set for two. They did extend my checkout time by 1 hour. I stayed more than two weeks there but never going back!

Katarina Kim was an excellent and awesome hostess. Her shift was over but stayed until i arrived safely from airport to hotel. She went beyond her duty to make sure the correct driver waited and picked me up from airport. Love her welcome note and goodies in my room when i checked in. She is the best! Xoxo

The Grand Mercure Ambassador Hotel is a nice property with exceptional rooms, a great breakfast buffet, a good location in Seoul, and even a casino on-site for guests. We enjoyed the restaurants and the property thoroughly with the only exception of a very bad smell in one of the rooms that got worse during our stay. We informed the front desk of the issue, and they apologized, but we were checking out, so there was nothing that could be done. Strangely the hotel hallways and elevator corridors were extremely cold, with a drafty wind whipping through those areas. But ultimately, it was a very nice stay, and we would definitely return should we be in Seoul again soon.
