See complete review here: http://thepaoloproject.com/2011/10/13/seoul-south-korea-of-paparazzi-emergency-preparedness-and-getting-your-moneys-worth-sunshine-guesthouse-and-seouls-transportation-system/ To be honest, the hostel is probably not for everyone. I always tell my friends that it would be perfect for the backpacker traveler (read: me) because of the no-frills vibe of the place but it probably wouldn’t sit well with parties with senior citizens (read: Kite’s family). So as much as I liked Sunshine,... More

You get what you paid for. It is one of the cheapest accommodation in the area, and the location is fantastic - within walking distance from all the main tourist spots and shopping area. The owner is also very friendly and speaks good English. The first room (double) we got was on the first floor. The room was so small... More

Service - Great service! We booked a week before our stay and they didn't even ask for a reservation fee. The guesthouse was just about a minute walk from the subway exit and found it easily. We arrived at around 4PM and Robin (one of the owners i think) helped us get our luggage to the room on the 2nd... More

Near Insadong and Myeongdong - The first thing I like about this place is the location. So near everything including the subway. The people - The owner stayed up until 2am just to wait for us. We went through so much before we reached the hotel, including the very cold night but it is comforting to know that we have... More

I am attracted by the price of the guest house and the strategic location of it. We checked in at 12.30pm, thats 1 and a half hour earlier than the normal check-in time. Upon checking in, we were very disappointed with the condition of the toilet, though the size of the room is expected judging by the price that we... More

My friend and I spent ages choosing a place to stay in Seoul, and we settled on this one. We based our selection on reviews we found online, and Sunshine had both good reviews and a pretty decent price (considerably lower compared to others). We also took into consideration the location, its safety and accessibility, especially since we were two... More

Sunshine Guesthouse is centrally located at downtown Seoul. Its very near the subway which is interconnected to three lines. It also has several convenience stores beside it, local streetfood available 24/7 (but more at night) and a number of "drinking" places. It is also just about a block away from Insadong, the famous Korean street/area selling traditional and modern souvenirs.... More

We originally wanted another guest house because a friend referred it to us but then we saw this place on several websites so we gave it a try. The place was overall nice. It's near everything - restaurants, shops, palaces (for sightseeing) and especially the subway. It wasn't hard to find at all. Though the room we got was quite... More

Sunshine Guesthouse was great. It's in a great location. There is so much to do in and around Jongno-gu. The subway is so easy to use and Sunshine Guesthouse is located so close to the subway, you literally just have to cross the street. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. They are there if you need help with something... More
