“Slightly over rated”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

I personally feel e hotel is slightly over rated! Upon check in I requested for room w computer but was told tat all computers had been removed in all rooms. After a long flight I was impressed to c e huge bathroom w a jacuzzi but to my dismay, Its not working too. Went down to inform e recep but was told again tat all jaccuzis were not working too! Only wifi in lobby. This hotel is located in a quiet corner which u will never expect to find a hotel there. Tip: it's hidden behind an office building.

All thanks to a trip advisor tip I had no trouble finding this hotel at all! Basically it's abt ten mins walk to either anguk or jongka station.

Breakfast was miserable! Only white bread, coffee and yogurt! They served e same breakfast everyday! I only had once and tats it!

Honestly, given e amenities and services, I simply think this hotel is overrated. Paying abt $140 per night is still not considered cheap

I will consider other options in future if I were to return to Seoul

“Perfect location, great hotel.”

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 to Anguk. As some have mentioned, it IS hard to find the first time. We knew the area pretty well and still were lost. A friendly passerby called the hotel for us and they came to collect us from a nearby store at 11:30 pm - pretty good service! Breakfast is basic, but enough to get you going in the morning. The room was small, but kept clean and had some nice character. And great shampoos and lotions are offered in the bathroom. It was everything I wanted in a hotel - good location, clean, safe, quiet, and comfortable. I already have plans to go back 2x in the next two months.

“Great location but dirty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This hotel has a great location. You are near tourist attractions and many great and cheap restaurant and only 2 stations away from the Seoul station.
But we had the deluxe twin and the Jacuzzi was not working, the towels were dirty (even after we mentioned it, they were still dirty) and the room was not very clean. Some hairs in the towels that were not mine.
I think this is a pity because this hotel could be great, but they really have to do something for the cleanliness!!!
The breakfast was ok.

“Great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

people found this review helpful

This hotel has great location, large rooms, nice and clean, and helpful staff. The included breakfast was nice. Overall, the best part about this hotel is the location. There are many shops, restaurants and vendors along the main street and quite of bit of places of interest can be reached on foot or by a short subway ride. The hotel isn't SO easy to find. I'd definitely stay here again!
