Great location in Seoul.
Nice hotel. Great location. Walking distance to lots of sites. Great restaurants all around. I couldn’t turn down the heat in the room and it got a little warm. Maybe my fault. I would stay here again and recommend it.
I really enjoyed Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong. The cleanest easiest experience.

Being in the center of Myeongdong, it makes it very easy to shop, eat, and look around as everything is in the center of Seoul. Even transportation was right down stairs from the hotel.
My overall stay with the hotel was very good as the staff were friendly, room was cleaned everyday, property was clean, and overall a very nice hotel to stay at.
My only thing that I did not like was that I wish they had a microwave for the rooms.

Basic booking
One night stay ahead of a DMZ trip. They had a power outage that lasted almost the entire time I stayed, no mention of this while booking. It meant there were no lights in the room, other than an emergency light which didn’t turn off at all. Thankfully I’d packed an eye mask but it wasn’t easy to sleep. The bathroom was fairly cramped, more like a pod built into the room than it’s own room, and could do with a clean.

Stayed for 7 nights.
Good location near to metro station and airport limousine bus stop to Incheon airport.
Staff courteous and helpful. Room clean and comfortable.
Coin laundry on 10th floor of the hotel is a bonus to help with laundry.
Good stay at Ibis Myeongdong Hotel.

This is a 3 star hotel, its what it is. 5 star reviews does NOT mean its a 5 star hotel, it isn't.
The gym was at best, the same sizeasour room. 2 walking tread mills and a few barbells... disappointing.
Room was 'OK' but not as spacious as the Best Western near the airport. The WiFi was also unreliable which makes this hotel inappropriate for business. The front desk lent USA 4G router as a work around, it was no better.
