10.0 Exceptional - John 10-06-2025

Positive points: We had a great stay at Rate Hotel Sunbee Insadong. The location is in an area with lots of restaurants and stores all in walking distance, and the metro station is close. All the staff were friendly, very helpful, and spoke English. There is a free laundry room, including laundry soap, which was a pleasant surprise. And for Asia, the room was very spacious and everything was modern and clean. There is free coffee in the morning downstairs, and a kettle and teabags in the room. If it's your first time to Korea, many coffee shops don't open until later in the day, so coffee downstairs makes life much easier.rnI would stay here again we were 100% happy.

6.0 Positive reviews didn’t match up the property in realtime - Hong 05-06-2025

Positive points: Location is good with lots of restaurants nearby and free laundry. Cleaners cleaned the room at our requests.

Negative points: No breakfast, the front desk didn’t want to make an effort to book a taxi for us because he said the distance from the hotel to our destination is too short (about 20 minutes ride) and we have 6 pieces of luggage which require a larger taxi. Also no shower curtain in the bathroom, so each time someone takes a shower, the whole bathroom was wet all over.

7.2 Clean and quiet - Michael 10-05-2025

Review: We enjoyed our 6 nights at the Sunbee Hotel. Conveniently located and very suitable for our first nights in South Korea. Room was large and comfortable. Terrific bed. Only complaints: a tad pricey, no breakfast and a surprisingly indifferent front desk person. He didn’t look up when you stood in front of him. Seems annoyed to be interrupted from his bookkeeping. So, we didn’t feel very welcome.

9.0 Lovely Insadong stay - Amy 10-05-2025

Positive points: We loved the location, the room, and the staff at Hotel Sunbee. Mr Han was especially helpful to us on several occasions. He went above and beyond to help us get tickets on the KTX to Busan during a national holiday. The rooms were very comfy, clean, and had everything we needed. Mr Han even loaned us adapters when ours would not work. We enjoyed the deep, clean bath at night after walking thousands of steps each day. We were also just steps away from the main shopping street in Insadong. We were also close to Anguk and Jungo Station. Highly recommend!

Negative points: We struggled with the air conditioner remote but Mr Han finally came to our room and fixed it for us.

10.0 Friendly Staff - cherry 20-04-2025

Review: My and husband and I stayed for 5 nights and we had a wonderful stay. The location in Insadong-gil was close to the two palaces and lots of places to eat around.

10.0 Love the hotel.would definitely stay here again - Michell 25-04-2025

Positive points: The hotel was close to everything. Three places were within a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel (opposite directions. There was a street market the next street over and most attractions in Insadong and Myeongdong can be accessed easily by walking or by bus. Love the hotel. I stayed in a Korean style room (more traditional). The rooms big are very quiet so you don’t realize you have neighbors until someone gets on the elevator. The staff is extremely nice and very helpful. They are willing to answer any questions you have, order a taxi for you (if needed) or provide help in finding the right bus. I had questions about times for the airport (best time allowance) and they helped me make sure I got to the airport with plenty of time to spare.

Negative points: Nothing, the hotel is great.

Review: Hotel Sunbee is located in the center of everywhere. Hotel is very quiet and clean. Highly recommend.

9.0 Excellent - Guillermo 07-04-2025

Positive points: The room was INCREDIBLE. We really enjoyed the Korean Style room. The floors were heated, the bathroom was big and very practical. The small lobby at the entrance of the room was ideal for shoes. It's definitely not a cheap hotel but it was worth the price! The location is food but the access is a bit weird

9.6 Small and quiet hotel - Chriselda 13-04-2025

Review: Quiet hotel, about 8-10 minutes walk to the metro. There are 2 convenience store nearby, and one supermarket. nStaff are really helpful and polite. They were able to assist with taxi booking.

8.0 Neighborhood was a fantastic shopping area. - Aashish 24-03-2025

Positive points: Helpful front desk, free laundry.

Negative points: Providing multiple keycards upon check-in because elevator requires one at all times.

10.0 Great property - Eshna 12-04-2025

Review: This is a fantastic little hotel tucked away in Insadong… stone’s throw away from the Jogyesa temple and alleys filled with the best souvenirs. The room’s are big and spacious and the facilities are also excellent. The staff is also extremely helpful and kind. Would highly recommend and will be a repeat patron myself.

10.0 Great value for a wonderful hotel stay - Alison 20-03-2025

Positive points: This was the most comfortable hotel we stayed in during our travels in Japan and Korea. The beds were super soft and comfy, and the hotel and neighborhood were exceedingly quiet. We felt very fortunate for that! Having our room tidied up each day and towels replaced was a welcome bonus after staying in several hotels that didn't offer this basic service. The free laundry facility in the basement was such a relief as well! I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

9.6 Spring Break - Alice 11-04-2025

Review: Nice location & spacious room

Negative points: There were no downsides to our stay other than it was short due to our travel schedule.
