The Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae hotel was perfectly situated in the heart of Hongdae. The room was clean and had everything that we needed for a 4 night stay. The staff were lovely and accommodated every need we had. If you want a classy and perfectly located hotel that’s in the heart of the action, I 100% recommend that you stay at Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae.

The hotel is in a great location right in Hongdae with many shops and restaurants. The rooms are small but clean. The breakfast is an imposition for Europeans. Coffee was bad, apart from toast no boat, cheese and cold cuts were completely missing and apart from scrambled eggs no egg dishes available. And if you want hot milk with your coffee, you will be told that there is no hot milk, only cold milk. That was the worst breakfast I have ever had at a Mercure hotel in Asia. Another negative point: various employees at check-in can hardly speak English. Very weak for a hotel in the Accor group…. Nevertheless, I can recommend the hotel because the location is great. Just have breakfast in a café nearby and don't ask too much at reception

Location is at the center of Hongdae. After a great deal of shopping, we can offload our shopping bag and go out again which is super convenient. Very clean and I love there are many surfaces where I can put my personal belongings compare to some hotel with very little space for me to put my stuff out from my baggage. I will definitely come back next year.

Very conveniently located in Hongdae. Sarah at the front desk was very helpful and our room (superior king) is well kept. Room is a tad bit small, and space is limited with two checked luggage’s. Very close to metro and bus stations and an assortment of food and shops downstairs.

Awesome property with fantastic location! Service was top notch while rooms were very modern. Arrived early at 12pm and was truly delighted that our rooms are ready for check-in!! Good job!! Would recommend upgrade to a room with balcony if your budget allows. Breakfast was nothing much to shout about though. Lots of food options surrounding the hotel. The street crowd is youthful and busy. Staff spoke good English and their service was impeccable at 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
