The Sunbee hotel was very close to many shops, and restaurants. We were also within walking distance of two historical palaces, and two subway stations. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind whenever we needed help with something. I highly recommend staying here. If I ever manage to make it back to South Korea, this is where I'll be staying!

Spacious and great location

Very clean and spacious room. The mattress was just the perfect firmness as were the pillows, and the blanket was nice and thick and heavy and warm. Great location in centre of everything yet tucked away from noisy areas. Helpful and polite service. Only thing to note is that the toilet seat is not heated and there is no bidet. Water pressure for shower was a little low, but the water was hot enough.

Sunbee is GREAT for its location. Just a 1min walk away from the heart of insadong, it’s quiet and safe and the service staff are really great. But go in knowing it’s as advertised a 2star hotel. Rooms are clean, functional but dated. Only have bathtubs so it’s not really suitable for the elderly. Toilets also have no bidets so be really for cold seats in winter! Laundry is free and works perfectly fine, but it’s a walk down to the basement and next to the staff showering area. Overall if you don’t mind the lack of finesse it’s a really great place for it’s location!

Great stay, will return!

Hotel Sunbee is conveniently located right at the culture street in Insadong. There are many shops, cafe and restaurants that are very interesting. Staff at Hotel Sunbee were quiet but very respectful and friendly and spoke English. I had several questions and requests that were all met with satisfaction above and beyond. I strongly recommend this place if you plan on staying near Insadong. There is an Airport but stop nearby, walking distance, if you need to get to ICN.
