Hotel Sunbee Insadong

This hotel is in a location by many shops. It sits behind a larger hotel. I believe we were on the 5th floor. Our room had a double bed, a single bed, and a small refrigerator. The toilet was in a smaller room separate from the shower room. Both had frosted glass doors, but as they were around the corner from the beds, there was some privacy. There was a tub and shower but no shower curtain. There was actually a counter in the bathroom to sit things on without them getting wet. The laundry room in the basement was free, but it was a walk down there from the lobby. There were two washers and two dryers. The cafe gives free coffee to hotel residents. We split an egg salad sandwich for breakfast, and the price was reasonable and it was freshly made. There is a convenience store beside the hotel, so we bought water and other items there. We parked our vehicle when we arrived and never moved it because the traffic in Seoul is busy all the time. There are restaurants within easy walking distance.

The bathroom light, like many hotels, was outside of the door, so it woke everyone up if anyone went to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Centrally located in Insadong and transportation. Easy walk to Iksadong and eating/shopping areas.

Tight parking area. Better food selections. Hard boiled eggs and instant noodles would be nice. :)

The location and the staff were 🔝

Nothing

Great location, particularly for tourists (NB: it will take you 45 mins+ to get south of the river). The staff were kind and helpful local information was provided. Our room was large and very clean. Overall, the hotel is good value for money.

We had a deluxe KOR room but didn't find it comfortable. The furnishing was very spartan - not even a picture on the wall. And the windows were small, lending the room a claustrophobic air, as only one of the three sliding panels could be opened at any one time. The room is intended as a family room and is equipped with a bed for the adults (a bit soft for our taste) with a floor mattress for the kids (there were no kids so that was rather wasted on us). The space is therefore not put to much practical use, as there was nothing else in the room apart from a TV, some shelving and a hard chair.
