“The Ambassador Seoul strikes me as a property of contrasts: guest rooms blend classical grandeur with modern comfort, and its history stretches back to 1955. I see a comprehensive suite of leisure facilities, including yoga and even a golf driving range, that sets it apart. Given the several dining options that span Korean to Western cuisines, I think it's a solid choice in Seoul.”

I enjoyed my stay . The staff was helpful, always available to assist with taxi orders and directions. The buffet breakfast was AMAZING!!! I particularly appreciated the variety of food available. The rooms featured luxurious decor and cleanliness exceeded my expectations. A good stay.
The air conditioning seemed to have a minimum setting. I could not adjust the temperature below 23 degrees Celsius.

decent wifiuncomfortable hottoothbrush charge
The room was spacious and had decent wifi.
The hotel turned off the AC at night , made the room uncomfortably hot. It fluctuated between 26.5 and 27 degrees Celsius. Asking for a toothbrush seemed like pulling teeth. They actually charge for it. This detail felt a bit cheap for a hotel of this supposed caliber..
