Good location close to transit and shopping areas. Easy to get to popular attractions. Located on a bit of an odd side street so a bit hard to find at first. Older building with not great sound proofing, so bring your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Room was large and very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not many amenities at this property, but we didn't really need them with loads of shopping and dining options nearby. Beds were a bit hard for our preference, but would stay again.

This was a very cool spot to stay. The neighborhood is so fun to explore and so many sights are walking distance away. The hotel is cozy and comfortable and a great price. You hear absolutely no noise from outside or other guest. I would stay here again anytime!

Good for families with infants

Stayed: March 2025 Hotel sunbee was super clean, the staff super friendly and close to Insadong and Ikseondong. We booked a Busan trip as well and initially booked another hotel for our return back to Seoul, but Hotel Sunbee were nice enough to hold our luggage for us so we cancelled the other hotel and rebooked with Hotel Sunbee. They also provide free rental good for families with infants: free steriliser, baby cot and foldable stroller but this might come as a first come first basis type of thing. They also have a laundry room which we can use for free. All in all, was super pleased with our stay at the hotel and will definitely be coming back! Thank you Hotel Sunbee!
