The hotel was in a great location for our last few days in Seoul. The staff were pleasant but with limited English.

Expensive breakfast with plenty of choices didn't bother to go again It's a little bit out the way from the city and if you wanted to do stuff in mind don't get a hotel closer

We hv a great experience with Pullman. The only thing that matters is the motion detection light at the doorway. It’s too sensitive. It’s turning on when next room door opens.

8/10

The location was ok, not very far from the metro station but the airport busses don't go directly to this hotel, like it is the case with other 5* hotels in town. The rooms were clean and well equipped, the hotel felt very well maintained and cozy. Breakfast was really great, the only thing that my daughter was missing was toast bread as there was a toaster so people were just toasting baguettes, which became too hard. There were a few minor weaknesses, like having to ask for an iron twice but these things happen in every hotel and they were so small that they didn't ruin the whole experience. What I would change though is the additional charge for using the outside pool - this hotel is expensive enough so that both pools should simply be included for the guests. It's not about the money, it's about the feeling of exclusivity and of a 5* place, comparing with a cheap stay, where every service costs extra.
3-night trip

10/10

The room was very clean. Bed sheets were white, crisp, n clean. No orders. Bathroom was very clean. Housekeeping was excellent. The showers should have safety handles because the floors can be slippery. We had a very comfortable stay. Staff were very kind and professional. Also spoke English. The Ambassador- Pullman was a good choice!

The room described as the pictures. Will go back again next time visiting Seoul.
4-night trip

10/10

Beautiful hotel. Breakfast delicious. Kind of weird that any normal changes to the room is only done through a third party booking system. Which they never returned my 3 phone calls while there. Lunch buffet I did not do because I was stopped at the door and told ahead of time is was $80.

Unfortunately this hotel was a big disappointment from a service point of view: 1. At check in you are told that you can add breakfast to your booking. There is a cheaper early bird rate and an expensive rate if you book late. After deciding to take the early rate for the next morning I was told that this is only available before noon. Check in is at 2p.m. Why do you offer an early rate when it is impossible to book it at check in? 2. Having a status with the booking we should hav received a room upgrade. At request at the desk the hotel claimed they would not know of this program. After talking to the travel agency the answer was : All rooms were taken. Only problem was - you could still bokk different types of rooms for that night - so they basically tried to deflect first and then flat out lied. Sad... 3. The "towels" in the outdoor pool are the size of a doormat. Just a joke. You need 3 to 4 towels to dry yourself. All together the hotel itself is nice, but the service is abysmal and really the combination of the 5star brand and the worst service is making you feel unwelcome and we have never experienced such treatment on many years of travelling.
