Sofitel Ambassador Seoul Hotel & Serviced Residences

The bar on the 32nd floor was way too loud, so we ended up leaving early. But the room service food? Absolutely incredible—every bite was delicious and worth every penny. We’re a group of friends who regularly travel with hotel packages, and this stay at Sofitel Ambassador Seoul has us already planning our next trip. We’re definitely coming back—next time, we’ll stick to the 7th line location. Honestly, the view here beats some other well-known luxury hotels, and the place is spotless and incredibly clean. It’s one of those rare stays that leaves you truly impressed.

Vista Walkerhill Seoul - Formerly W Seoul

Staying at Vista Walkerhill Seoul was an absolute highlight of my trip to Seoul. The room was spotless, bright, and spacious—right from the start, I headed up to the 4th-floor viewing deck, and wow, the night views of the Han River were breathtaking. The city lights shimmering across the water made for a truly unforgettable experience. Compared to other riverside rooms in Seoul, this place offers incredible value for money. It’s not just about the view—it’s also super convenient with great access via subway. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stunning river view without breaking the bank. Definitely planning to come back.
