"It's a great location in Seoul. There's a nice river walk just a few blocks away. It's not too far to Myeongdong, but also doesn't have the hustle and bustle of that area, either. The hotel also has a great hidden "Speakeasy" bar. You'll have to ask in order to find it. This was our second stay there. "

The laundry was free! The hotel itself was wonderful: very clean, excellent front staff, and a nice cafe/coffee shop right off the lobby. We are very glad we selected Hotel Sunbee."

"The place is very interesting. At first I was a bit skeptic but I ended up loving it. The young male staff were very friendly and very helpful. The room was very spacious. The location is very strategic and well-located to catch airport bus. The sharing kitchen is an amazing facility. During my stay, most of regular people who used the shared facilities were people who speak Koreans, so you may feels a bit lost in translation. But other than that, all is wonderful. Definitely will come again."
