The Sofitel Ambassador Seoul Hotel & Serviced Residences delivers a generally good stay. The rooms are a comfortable size, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully appointed, making it easy to unwind after a busy day in the city. The fitness center and pool area exceed expectations—spacious, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained.
However, there are a few drawbacks that can impact your experience. Weekend breakfast service is limited to just three fixed time slots (6:30, 8:00, and 9:30 AM). Arriving at 9:00 AM means a 30-minute wait, which feels frustrating compared to hotels that offer rolling buffet times or extra seating. Similarly, the pool requires reservations for certain time windows, and children under 16 aren’t permitted in the locker or changing rooms. This policy makes it awkward for a parent and child—while you can change, your daughter cannot, which seems poorly thought out.
Overall, the Sofitel Ambassador offers top-tier accommodations and amenities, but its rigid scheduling and family-unfriendly pool policies detract slightly from an otherwise wonderful hotel.

As a long-time Accor Plus Platinum member, I was truly disappointed with our recent stay at Sofitel Ambassador Seoul. We arrived around midnight, and despite our status, no upgrade was offered unless we paid. We declined due to the late hour, but soon after check-in, we were called and told we were overcharged for our third and fourth nights — and I had to go down to the front desk to correct it.
Later, we agreed to pay for an upgrade just to avoid switching rooms. The following morning, we were directed to the main restaurant for breakfast (as Club Lounge had closed), only to be interrupted five times during our meal and eventually told we had to pay. Despite confirming our Accor Platinum status, no proper explanation was given.
A staff member later apologized, acknowledging our membership should have been honored for the upgraded nights, but at checkout, we were still charged nearly ₩200,000 for breakfast.
This experience felt disjointed and poorly managed, especially for loyal members. We expected the warmth and professionalism Sofitel is known for, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet expectations. I hope management improves consistency in recognizing Accor members and handling guest experiences.

I am so glad I booked my staycation here in sofitel.
The room is big, clean and very nice bathroom interior. The staff is very kind and accommodating.
I love their cafe and I love the jap restaurant! I've been a lot of japanese resto in Seoul or in some other hotels but here is the best!
Until next time. I realy enjoyed my time here.

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a small army of friendly and attentive staff eager to assist. Their warmth and professionalism set the tone for an excellent stay. Check-in was a breeze, though it’s worth noting it happens on the 6th floor instead of the ground floor. Once you’re checked in, you’ll need to hop on another elevator to reach your room. While this might sound inconvenient, it’s surprisingly smooth. With six elevators in service, I never waited more than 1–2 minutes, so no big deal there!
Now, onto the room: wow. It was immaculately clean, spacious, and oozed luxury. The bathroom? Gorgeous, featuring Diptyque products that scream sophistication (though I have to admit, the scent wasn’t my favorite). One heads-up: the hotel only provides soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Essentials like toothbrushes and toothpaste are not included, so pack accordingly or be prepared to shell out 1,000–2,000 won at the hotel.
The location is a total win. It’s an easy stroll to public transportation, malls, countless restaurants, a park, and even an amusement park. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, everything you need is at your fingertips. I’d happily stay here again.
Now, for my only gripe: I booked the luxury king room with a “city view.” Unfortunately, “city view” turned out to be a massive building right in front of my window. Not only was the view nonexistent, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that the neighbors across the way might be able to see me if they tried. Definitely not the skyline I was hoping for.
If you are going to drive or take a cab, prepare to sit in the traffic for more than 30 min even though it is 5 min away since it’s very busy area.
Still, the overall experience was fantastic, and I’d recommend this hotel despite the less-than-stellar view!

Wow! This is what a 5 star hotel feels like! As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was the center of attention. I wasn't used to that in the USA.. But this hotel is great. The area was great and the room was great. There are plenty of things to do and plenty of restaurants to go eat if your not interested at the hotel foods. Overall, I would stay here again if I'm in the area of jamsil. I forgot to take pictures but the photos they provide are accurate.
