The staff were very responsive and helpful throughout my entire stay. The rooms were clean and my stay was very nice overall. The area to get into the property was a bit run down but it wasn't any serious detriment to my trip.

The entrance is a bit dark and uninviting, being accessed through a car park, but the reception office is located there by the entrance so it was fine. The accommodation itself is of good standard although not really any sound proofing.

Great Place to Stay!
SunCity was a little difficult to find, but the area was super cute. The room was perfectly big enough for my two huge suitcases with plenty of room to move around. The guy who worked there was super nice and helpful, and he explained everything very well.

I love how nice the check in gentleman was, he told us everything we needed to know, even how to turn on the TV since everything was in Korean. He also handed us a sheet of paper with a lot of information, such as wifi password, check out time, and check out instructions. Very good hospitality!

ok room. a bit pricey for its condition
it was a residential building which has tens of mini rooms, each of which was posted as a different room. basically, it might be suitable for a solo traveler who doesnt care much about the room condition. it was clean but definitely not ideal. thought it was a but pricey.

Very good value for money
We had a private room. This hostel is very close to the bus and metro station Sensa stop and orange line - the area where it is it is not the most attractive but there are restaurent all around including Burger King. The guy serving there was very nice and hard working. The hostel and the room are very clean and very secure, and washing machine and hangers available for free and there is a closet in the room and private toilet/shower. The only down sides is: there is no common area to sit and eat (kitchenette available though)-you have to eat in your room. So it is mainly to rest and sleep which suited our trip purpose . Very good value for money

Wonderfully kind staff
Happy with my stay. Staff are exceptionally kind and helpful, speaking fluent English and accommodating my needs. On my checkout day, they let me keep my 4 pieces of luggage for a few hours after checkout, until I departed. They also arranged in a matter of minutes via KakaoTalk for a taxi to take me to the airport (flat fee of 60,000 won). Speaking of which, the staff are readily available via chat apps such as KakaoTalk and WeChat, which I greatly appreciated and which lent the place a modern and convenient vibe. The room itself is nothing special, with an 80s design, a small bathroom, and a small bedroom. The walls are unfortunately quite thin, which means you can hear the neighbors talking, although this never kept me up. There is a common entryway, where you put your shoes in a cabinet. You can specify on your door whether you want housekeeping or not. There is a security code to enter the building (although I would not worry about safety in Gangnam), and my room had a physical key to enter my room. I saw that other rooms had key cards. The area, Gangnam, is renowned for its fun and youthfulness. This hotel is on the northern end of Gangnam, near Sinsa Station, which means you will need to walk or take a bus to the really active areas of Gangnam. Once you get there you will find plenty of shopping, with trendy clothing stores. You can easily take the Metro to other areas of the city. The friendly and kind staff set this place apart.

Gangnam on a budget
This hotel was a great stay for my husband and me in the Gangnam area over the Chuseok holiday. The staff was very welcoming, and explained everything we might need to know for our stay. The property is close to two subway lines and within easy walking distance to trendy shops, coffee cafes, and brunch spots.

Great stay!
This hotel was a hidden gem. A min or so away from the Shinsa subway station, I was able to use this hotel as a starting point to get to Gangnam, Itaewon, and Hongdae. The bed was comfortable, they provide water and coffee in the room, and the staff was very nice and accomodating. Please note that the bathroom utilizes a traditional sink shower and is very small. Rubber sandals are provided for this reason. I would stay here again

Very convenient, clean and kind.
The room was extremely clean, with all expected amenities. Service was prompt and owners were kind and helpful. Owners had mentioned some guests were mistaken with the description of a guest house, expecting a hotel. This is a guest house, and an excellent one at that. Location is less than 5 minute walk to subway, yet is tucked away to provide some reduction in noise from the busier street. Nearby is a plethora of local restaurants, eating at anytime is never an issue. Convenience store is 3 min walk, and provides any extras you might have forgotten. All in all would rate this accommodation 5/5 and will definitely stay here again!

Convenient, Cheap, But nothing Fancy
I arrived at Sinsa, Gangnam after taking the Shuttle Bus from the Airport. It was the first stop from there so it was great, although it still took like 45 mins. From the advice of the Airport [English speaking] Info Desk, they advised me to go to Exit 3 of Sinsa Station of which I did. Unfortunately I got a little bit lost after that so I went into another hotel and asked for some more help. Hotels are great places to ask for help as nearly all of them are guaranteed to speak English. The receptionist actually called them up, and the manager guy actually came over to the Hotel to come and get me, helping with the luggage too! The hostel is actually the first left as you come out of Sinsa Station Exit 3, right before a Krispy Kreme donut shop. After this left you take the 2nd right (if I remember correctly) and it is a very steep upward road. Then you will see the sign Sun City Residence. Another left into a car park and then to your left again is the entrance. The first glass door requires a password which the manager will give you. You take the elevator to your floor, and then open a door to the apartment block which should always be open according to the manager. The apartment is a floor with a long corridor and had a small kitchen area in it and a washing machine area too. This was then surrounded by rooms (about 6 I think) of which had its own locks. The manager gave me a kinda small round "button" keycard, of which you swipe to get in your own room.

3日間の滞在でした。他のゲストハウスと比較して、掃除が共用部・個室部分ともに行き届いていてとても過ごしやすかったです。寝具もタオルも無臭でありがたい。ポットや冷蔵庫、ドライヤー等ひと通り設備も揃っており、各階の共用キッチンにはレンジと浄水器があって便利でした。他の部屋の音も全く気にならなかったです。スタッフの方とは直接会う機会が少なかったですが、LINEで連絡が取れるので困ることはなかったです。新沙駅すぐそこ、空港リムジンバス停留所も交差点渡ってすぐでものすごい便利でした。坂道だけがしんどい立地でしたが、帰国日スーツケースを預かってもらったついででスタッフの方が運んで下さいました。ありがとうございました、江南方面で用事がある時はまた泊まります!

3泊4日で利用しました。オーナーさんも非常に良い方で清潔に掃除されてます。 隣の部屋の声はだだ漏れなので、コレは運かもしれません。わたしは2日目の朝に隣り男性が携帯で話してる声で起きました。 洗濯機ありますが利用時間が11〜17時までと決められており、予定をびっしり詰め込んでると、ちょっと不便な時間帯です。わたしは、一度出かけてから戻って洗濯しました。すでに別の方が使われていたのですが、オーナーさんが終わったらわたしの洗濯物入れて下さり、終わったものも、ついでだからと言って部屋まで持って来て下さりました。 駅からも近いし、コンビニもあるし、非常に便利でした。また利用したいです。
