Nice hotel with a good location

I traveled to Seoul for the purpose of medical tourism. The location is very convenient near the metro, shops and many medical institutions. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable, good staff, the maid on the 6th floor is brilliant always quality and timely cleaning. Recommend a good hotel.

Good value, location

Good location - 15 minute walk from the closest metro, or a very quick & easy taxi ride from the nearest metro. Taxi drivers knew this hotel too so it was easy to get a taxi back to the hotel from wherever we were in the city (say you want to go to "Sunshine Hotel in Shinsa-dong"). The staff went out of their way to try and assist with any requests/questions we had. Some spoke English better than others, but they were all extremely gracious.

Great stay!

The staff was very helpful and the hotel was conveniently located--about a 7-minute walk to the metro and close to a variety of food options. Despite being put into a smoking room to begin with, this was quickly remedied when I asked and the room I ended up staying in was clean and comfortable and had a great view of the street below. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel!

No frills - does the job

I found the hotel to be in a reasonable location, 10 minutes walk straight out of the Apgujeon station. I'm quite used to walks of this distance so it didn't bother me. I was also pretty light on luggage, so the arrival / departure wasn't a big deal for me. The hotel was nothing particularly special and it served its purpose - it was a room, with a bed and a toilet. It had internet, it was clean. Simple and easy. It wasn't the quietest place / neighborhood. There was a bar or club behind it that got a bit noisy on Saturday night. The walls weren't too heavy either, so if the neighbors got giggly, it carried. Light sleepers may have a bit of trouble, but it didn't wake me up and I'd judge myself as an 'average' sleeper. The front staff was not friendly, but not rude... certainly not chatty or deeply service oriented. Again, they got the job done so I'm not too worried about it.

Hotel good location

We stayed here for a week to attend our son's wedding. The hotel was very clean, the housekeeping staff was very prompt and thorough every day. The whole staff was very pleasant and accomodating. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Seoul!

Good location at the right price!

The Hotel is located near Apgujeon which is the richest area in seoul, this is the Fifth Avenue of NY with high priced restaurants , boutiques and clothing stores. The hotel is clean and has parking, very convinient to those driving. Free internet was a plus, but does not have the luxury of 3 or 4 star hotels, some might even think that is a motel. The building is small but the rooms are larger than some 4 star hotels. The room was good for the money!

Great Value

Hotel Sunshine is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at in Korea. Because of past experiences booking online, I didn't have high expectations for the quality of the room, but was delighted to find that the room was clean and spacious, almost to the point of luxury. I'd recommend asking for a room that doesn't face the street as it was a little noisy.

Was very small but cosy. short

Was very small but cosy. short walk down the street to Apgujeong station. Hotel was clean, bed was comfortable. I stayed a total of 23 nights while looking for a place to live in Seoul. I found out after I booked, the hotel has a reputation as being somewhat of a love hotel, as the BOSS club is next door. Although I didnt see anything of that nature happening when I was there. I can recommend this hotel if you want something fresh and not paying $300,000 won p/n at a place like the Westin. I paid under $100,000 won p/n which was excellent value.

I had zero expectations for Sunshine

I had zero expectations for Sunshine Hotel in Seoul, but was very impressed and surprised when I checked in. The staff was courteous and spoke English well. They accompanied me to my room and explained to me how the lighting system & AC controls worked. The room had great, uninterrupted Internet LAN access and a nice flat screen TV. The cleaning was great, the bed and pillows comfortable and clean. The room was recently re-modeled, I think and located on the 3rd Floor. Sunshine Hotel is located near the Apgujeong Subway Station (압구정역). From the station, take Exit 3 and just walk straight for about 7-8 minutes. It's on your left. There's a 24-hour MiniStop across the street. From Incheon Airport, you can take the Limo bus. Take #6010 Cheongdam to Apgujeong. Price in Oct 2010 was 15,000KW.

I felt comfortable in the room,

I felt comfortable in the room, just a bit warmer and nicer feel and furniture than in most hotels. Also liked the glass wall between bathroom and bedroom which can be closed off with blinds. Very nice people at reception and concierge.
