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."

It's in a great location too, minutes walk from Insadong and easy to get to public transport too. We would definitely come back!"
