Fairmont Ambassador Seoul

Dit is een hotel dat in de stad kan worden genezen! Maar het zwembad is klein en er zijn veel mensen, dus ik was een beetje teleurgesteld. .

Alles is prima, maar vergeleken met Conrad valt het uitzicht een beetje tegen. Helaas doet de incheckhal ook dienst als lounge, dus het is een beetje druk, maar de kameromstandigheden zijn bevredigend.

Ik kwam hier voor een zakenreis. Het zwembad was geweldig en het personeel was vriendelijk. Ik had een geweldige tijd.

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.

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!

Convenient location and great facilities. first choice for corporate booking.

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
