ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong Reviews

hotel is located up an alley but the best part is that its just beside ikeon dong where you can find authentic korea jiggae. solsot is also less than a min walk. its far from anguk station where the airport shuttle bus is. at night its dark on the street. hot bath at basement and washer (4000 won), dryer (4000 won) and detergent (1000 won) are fabulous, but note that note changing machine only dispense 500 wons instead of notes and coins. so go to reception counter to change bigger notes to 10,000 won so you dont end up with tons of 500 wons. water purifier located at level 10 and you need to ask, else counter staff wont tell you. save your shopping spree to Hongdae as Ikeon dong jewelry is 3x more expensive than Hongdae. didn't need to eat buffet at hotel because there's authentic korean soup stuffs at insadong (10min walk) which are open as early as 730am. wont recommend solo female traveller due to the dark alley and drinking street on a Fri night along the alley. multiple exit at the station with no elevator access and difficult to find hotel location if you exit wrongly. if you need washer and dryer, then this hotel is highly recommended. staff allow free early check in if i join accor free membership on the spot, i appreciate the early check in service. shower area very small.
