The staffs were nice and helpful when ordering cabs. However, there were several disappontments. Every time draining water from bath tub, water flooded into the floor. All the clocks were not on time. The touch panel on the side table was not responding well so that we had hard time just to turn on and off lights in the room.

Was not as advertised. Hotel was not clean, and my sheets were stained upon arrival. Construction caused them to have a desk on the second floor, and the air conditioning did not work in the room. Felt like there were also bugs in the rooms. No views from the window either. Would not recommend.

We stayed at Hotel Sunshine between medical appointments in Sinsa-dong/ Gangnam. It is located within walking distance of shopping, dining, subways, the Han Riverfront and hundreds of plastic surgery clinics. The rooms are roomy and the beds are luxuriously comfortable.

Everything perfectly fine EXCEPT for one major issue: the room was roasting and there was no air conditioning. After a couple of hours in the room I was literally dripping sweat and the the room was uninhabitable. We literally left in the early evening to go to another hotel because it would have been impossible to sleep in so hot a room.

Dirty, smells, AC doesnt work. Asked the staff if we can change rooms and they said there werent any available so understood that part. But the AC. They didnt fix the AC and had to sleep sweating. They brought a mini fan that was covered in dust so couldnt use that either. After a few days we mentioned how our AC still isnt working and the staff was just like "ohhhh". And didnt do anything about it. Not helpful at all.

This was a very nice hotel. The staff was multilingual and very friendly. If you’re an English speaker and can’t speak Korean ask for Jason. His English is excellent and he will happily help you find things to do and places to eat. He will even show you how to get places on the hotel computer and give you various brochures on things to do in Gangnam/Seoul.

Stayed the night before our wedding since it was close to make up shop. Bed was smaller than we thought and shower was a little leaky. But you get what you pay for, breakfast was $15 each and we skipped on it because of pst reviews. Easy to find though right near train exit.

Close to clinic we were visiting. We stayed in April 2019, and AC was not on, but it was warm, policy was not to turn on AC that early in the year. Stayed again in June 2019, we confirmed in person that AC would be on. Check in, AC was weak and did not cool, and it was a lot warmer than our April visit. Fan was delivered to our room, made stay bearable, but just barely.

Outstanding place to stay in Gangnam.
The hotel over all was excellent. The rooms were smaller than expected, but still for the price it can’t be beat. The hotel staff was absolutely amazing and extremely helpful. They were able to help me and my family by calling for a taxi, to wrtiting a letter to the local pharmacist so that I could get cough syrup for my two year old son that got sick on the trip. Each and every person that worked at the hotel was extremely kind and super helpful. Went way above and beyond to help us out. House keeping did a great job every day keeping the room clean and stocked with clean towels, shampoo and the rest of amenities. The location of the hotel is in a great spot for shopping and restaurants, night life, and some sightseeing. On average it took us about 10-15 minutes in any direction by car to go to the places we wanted. Outstanding. Our next trip we will stay again.
