The Sunbee hotel is ideally located just off Insadong Street. If you arrive in Seoul from the airport, take bus 6011 to Insadong subway station and turn down Insadong street near Exit 6. Turn left. Walk down Insadong street and turn right on Gil 7. The hotel website says Gil 6 but it is actually Gil 7. There is a... More

My first review. We just stayed here the last few nights. We took the advice of some other reviews on finding the hotel and it was pretty straightforward. Basically, take the 6011 bus to anguk. Walk in the opposite direction the bus went to insadong. Walk down insadong till you reach insadong 7. Turn right. And you will reach the... More

Great value, great location. Near two major subway stations. Tons of restaurants and shopping. Walking distance to two palaces (among many other things) for sightseeing, as well as historic district and beautiful park. I never tired of walking the neighborhood. I don't speak any Korean but the staff understood my questions. My room was very large. The bathroom was huge... More

I won't waste much time as I think everyone else on here has already said that this hotel is going downhill. The location is great and it's really cheap (less than £60) and the rooms are HUGE. However it's not like it used to be and: Computers have been taken from rooms Rooms are horribly hot and air-con has been... More

I'll say first that yes, the location is perfect: a block away from the charming Insadong area. I have stayed here 4 times over the past six years and just this last time I felt that things had gone downhill. While they have enlarged and remodeled the lobby, I found the following to be unsatisfactory: 1. Computers have been removed... More

I've stayed at Sunbee hotel last March 2012. It was quite difficult to book a room, as in every booking website was "no available rooms" (I tried longtime before and even changing dates). Finally I've booked a twin room for three persons via hotelwide.com that seems to be the only website having available rooms. The hotel is very well located... More

Things started poorly as I became hopeless lost trying to find the hotel - in fact it took me an embarrassing 90 minutes to find the hotel from the metro station. Usually my sense of direction is acute and I rarely lose my way, but not so on this occasion. Once you find the Hotel Sunbee, it will take a... More

On our second trip to Seoul we stayed at hotel Sunbee, and I knew we had found our go-to hotel for Seoul for the foreseeable future. The hotel is ridiculously close to Insadong, yet tucked down a back alley and was pretty quiet. It's quite close to both Anguk and Jonggak stations, and an easy airport bus ride from Incheon... More
