Stayed in a luxury room (club level) at regular (superior) rate. This resulted in pretty good value. Room was very well appointed, but could have looked better (personal taste). Staff was exceptionally professional which made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Food is good, and the a la carte restaurant's entourage almost also is. Apart from extremely expensive (but not... more

Overall, I had a good stay at the Sofitel Ambassador. There were a lot of positives but a few negatives that make it impossible for me to give it the full five stars. On the good side, the rooms were stylish and modern in the way that only new hotels in Asia are. The bed was extremely comfortable and my... more

We stayed in this property in late May 08. Rooms are very well appointed, good toilettes, wide comfortable beds, elegant deco. The gym and swimming football facilities are well above average. There is even a golf range. Location is very good too. I disagree that it is not centrally located. You are literally minutes away from the major commercial hubs.... more

I have waffled on below so I shall summarise for those in a hurry. Hotel very comfortable with limousine bus link to airport (aprox 2 hr trip) Staff efficient, attempt to be helpful, language still a slight barrier. Location is not central but easy access to city via shuttle or subway. This was a quick 2 day stop, and our... more

We recently returned from a four day stay at the Ambassador. We arrived on New Year's Eve at 6 pm expecting to be ushered into our two reserved triple rooms. We soon discovered to our horror that we had no rooms at all. According to the hotel, our travel agency had cancelled our rooms and they showed me the cancellation... more

Had a reservation for a business floor room including breakfast. We got in early and the room wasn't ready (it was before check-in) - they were able to accommodate us a little early after a redeye from Vietnam (at 11:30am), so we had breakfast and went to the Sauna (a screwed up cultural experience with shoe faux pas and bags... more

I tried to make a reservation via accore group website. As a Korean with American green card, I knew that non-residents in Korea do not need to pay hotel tax (10%). When I tried to make a reservation in the website, the sum included 10% tax. Hence, I called the hotel to make sure about the tax policy. The reservation... more

My husband and I visited Korea for our first part of the honeymoon and sofitel made it better. We had originally booked our stay in Dragon Hotel in Young San and we were very disappointed with the hotel we decided to change our plan. We searched online and came across really good internet deal from sofitel. We stayed for a... more

I have to give this hotel only an average review. I try to be a pretty flexible guest, and try not to complain about anything. I was not happy overall with my stay and wouldn't recommend it until renovations to the fitness center are complete. The Sofitel is supposed to be the top of the line in the Accor chain... more

I wrote a review a few days ago describing my stay in the Sofitel Seoul. I have to update my review. The hotel did perfectly dealt with my complaint and reacted in the way, that the redeemed the overnight expenditure for the missing reservation and the more expensive upgrade they gave me instead. I think this is a perect case... more
