South Korea Honeymoon Vacations

Elevator under renovation. Always had to wait several minutes to get an elevator that was not full for my family to fit.

Not a 5 star hotel. Maybe 3.5 to 4.0 average score for service. The Good; Facility and cleanliness: 40 to 4.5. Doormen: 5.0 for taking care of baggage and incoming and outgoing guests to ensure they are catching their taxis or leaving their taxis. Restaurants: 4.5 to 5.0 excellent service and food options The Not So Good: Very basic issues with The Ambassador Hotel Pullman in Seoul: 1) No receipt available of hotel stay. Very basic data such as a daily room rate receipt not available upon check out. In other words, you have zero idea what you paid in Korean Won (KRW) vs your local currency (I.e., USD, EUR or GBP). This is a very simple ask yet the front desk assistant manager Jacob Ham sincerely could not disclose the simple room rates for my total stay and provide a KRW receipt due to it being against Pullman Ambassador Hotel Policy. I think that policy puts the hotel front desk at risk of being at many levels. Financial reporting is a critical part of the hotel stay. Yet the front desk staff have zero power to provide a basic receipt is not a 5-Star hotel practice. 2) Room Service: Rated 2-3 stars. The Room service Team on 3 occasions look terribly unprofessional and unhappy with their jobs when they slam the door when exiting the room after dropping off deliveries. They look they are mopping around and miserable from either poor management, poor training or understaffing. I cannot figure out why they look and behaved as they dislike their jobs.

Very tired room with electrics hanging off the wall. Front desk staff generally unhelpful. I have never stayed in a hotel where they do not provide coffee in the room (you can have tea, but when I asked for coffee, I was simply told, 'No'). However, it was very convenient for COEX (20 minute walk) and with 6006 bus stops outside, airport transport was very easy.
