Hotel Sunbee Insadong

Hotel Sunbee Insadong

10/10 Excellent
"Family trip. The rooms were nice and large. Bathroom was also very nice. But, getting into and out of the tub might be a challenge for someone who has mobility issues. Kinda a big step over. I think that is just the Korean style. Hotel is only a 5 minute walk from the closest subway station. Has a very simple cafe downstairs. But, there are plenty of options for food within 5 minutes of the hotel. Overall, a great place to stay."
