ibis Ambassador Seoul Insadong (Newly renovated in 2025)

8/10 Good
"Excellent emplacement, mais chambres très petites et trop chaudes l’été Très bon hôtel pour visiter Séoul grâce à son emplacement pratique. Le déjeuner est varié et les chambres sont fonctionnelles, mais elles sont très petites, particulièrement pour trois personnes avec des valises. La salle de bain est elle aussi minuscule. Les lits simples sont de « taille asiatique »: à peu près la largeur des épaules d’une femme canadienne de 5 pi 6 po de corpulence moyenne. Le principal point négatif est la température. La chambre est autour de 23 °C au départ, mais dès que plusieurs personnes s’y trouvent, elle monte facilement à 25 °C. Les journées ensoleillées, il est pratiquement impératif de garder les rideaux fermés pour limiter la chaleur, et il n’y a pas de véritables rideaux occultants. Des ventilateurs sont disponibles, mais je choisirais un autre hôtel en plein été, particulièrement durant les périodes de chaleur accablante. À Séoul, la chaleur peut être prise très au sérieux: on voit des affiches invitant les gens à se mettre au frais pendant les canicules, et même certains palais et temples réduisent la durée des visites guidées lors des grandes chaleurs. Dans ce contexte, ne pas pouvoir réellement rafraîchir sa chambre devient un irritant important. La chambre comprend un petit espace garde-robe ouvert, un mini-frigo avec petit compartiment congélateur, et des distributeurs d’eau sont accessibles. L’hôtel offre aussi des casiers assez grands pour ranger les valises, ce"
