Fairmont Ambassador Seoul Reviews

Hotel service is nice and sweet, all the staffs are pleasant, English fluent, suitable for foreigners to stay. Room is nice and comfortable. Slept very very well. Prime location next to Hyundai mall. Will definitely come back again

Wonderful location that you can walk to IFC Seoul and 45 mins from Incheon airport.

Hotel is always very clean and quiet. Great location to move around the city and airport as well.

The hotel has a great location, close to Yeouido subway station and Hyundai Department Store. Upon arrival, the staff proactively helped with our luggage. The front desk staff provided excellent service and were very polite. Due to not having a local credit card and accout issue, we couldn't use the app to book a taxi, but the staff promptly helped us with this. The view from the hotel window is excellent, with a clear sight of the Han River. The hotel uses Le Labo 31 amentities. However, the cleanliness needs improvement. Some areas has quite a bit of dust buildup, and the housekeeping staff placed our personal toothbrush directly on the counter, which made us uncomfortable as the toothbrush directly touched the surface.If we visit Seoul again in the future, I will still consider choosing Fairmont.

The hotel environment is of good quality, the equipment is complete and novel, the mattresses are comfortable and moderately hard, and the electric heater is thoughtfully installed, which can be used immediately if the weather suddenly gets cold. The mall is nearby, so it is very convenient to go shopping when you go out.

Staffs in Fairmont hotel are polite and I would like to special thanks to Yoony. We met at the elevator hall and she recommended the fitness when she saw me wearing sporty outfits; she also apologised for the wait at elevator when there is full of hotel VIPs. Definitely the magic moment of our stay.

Location is more suitable for business travellers who want to work & commute in financial district, otherwise there’s not much to do in this whole area as it’s very hard to find a decent or simple eatery which opens near late night compared to living in Dongdaemun and Gangnam. Our room is located high and we can have a glance of the nearby buildings and overlooked further. They don’t provide full amenities compared to 2 other 5-stars hotels we had stayed in during this trip. So prep yourself with our necessary amenities like earbuds, combs, earplugs, sewing kits if needed in any case.. The hotel room is quite spacious and toilet is equipped with a bathtub which we didn’t get to utilise at all but my child had once because she wanted to play a bath bomb for 10 mins. Other items like ironing board, iron, Nespresso coffee machine, distilled water bottles, beverages and condiments, safe box, fridge were all provided. And I find it quite troubling as there were too many ‘big-country’ tourists either staying in the hotel or those living in Seoul going to the Hyundai Seoul mall to buy luxury goods. And the entire mall is crazily flooded and packed with youngsters on the day of our check-in and the next day. Some came to window-shop while most others came in for food and perhaps after meals, to seek shelter and shield from the cold. You won’t be believed this you can’t even find a place to eat as all fast food eateries, snacks counters and restaurants were fully unavailable. There were basically long queues everywhere you go. Ended up my super famished poor child had to walk a long way with us & venture out in the cold to find any available restaurant to have our dinner. International breakfast is served daily at L5 and the buffet spread is limited compared to the one we stayed & had in Dongdaemun. We had to pay additional 55,000KRW (SGD55) per day for our young child to dine in with us as her breakfast was not included in our accommodation package. I think it’s really too expensive and given that we always came down only at 9.30am and the breakfast stopped at 10am sharp. The food she always had was a small bowl of cereal, 4 small bite-sized hash-browns and a glass of milk only where she had to eat fast within 30mins before they closed for the day. For such price paid, it’s totally not worth it and we can’t avoid paying lesser despite they knew we only had 30 mins left to dine. Overall the concierge service crews’ attitude and professionalism were excellent and Fairmont had the best staffs with great service i encountered during our 3 weeks stay across 3 different 5-stars hotels. I wished I will have another chance to stay here again but the price for each night is SGD450++, which is really expensive.

The location was a bit far out in terms of going to the various scenic spots and shopping districts but there is a big Hyundai mall connected to the hotel which is a plus. The cleanliness of the room could be further improved as I noticed quite a bit of dust in the bathroom but otherwise it is very spacious. The concierge service was excellent.

Simple and clean, depending on what you're doing or visiting in Seoul the location may not be the best

Great connection to subway and great for cherry blossom viewing with proximity to Han river park. Hotel is decent but surroundings are mainly grade A offices and not many choice of localized dining. Nearby Hyundai Dept store opens at 1030 which didn't help much for breakfast arrangement.

First time staying in a five-star hotel and it was definitely worth it! Great fitness gym where me and my friend worked out everyday! Housekeeping did a great job resetting the place everytime we went out and keeping the place clean! Staff was super nice to us when we checked in and checked out, so we definitely recommend this place!

Amazing hotel service was excellent the buffet breakfast was extraordinary they even have abalone, it feels like a luxury hotel except the entrance to the mall was a bit strange u have to push a few doors go out side and go back in, and also i think this is a rather new hotel or the uber location is something wrong they always drop us off a block away until we got an address card from the concierge

Room service is good.

Staff had low energy
