I booked this guest house via email, the owner spoke English so it was easy to reserve a room. We stayed in a traditional Korean ondol room that had an en suite bathroom. There was hot water. They were able to provided extra mattresses on request. Breakfast was available to make yourself in the communal kitchen between 6-11am. Plenty of... More

Recently stayed here for a few days. One of the most unique places I've ever stayed. It's a traditional ondol style Korean guesthouse in a 120 year old building, consisting of 8 rooms surrounding a courtyard. The rooms are so unique, with open beams and mat floors, sliding Korean paper doors. Bed are traditional roll out futon style with heavy... More

This guesthouse is adorable. You will have an authentic experience while staying here. The owners are helpful and wonderful with each guest. They make you feel right at home. Plus, their English is amazing. The breakfast (eggs and toast) was perfect and the kitchen was never too crowded. People came and went and enjoyed the serenity of the building. We... More

As a group of 13 people looking for a decent but cheap place to stay a week before Lunar New Year, we didn't expect to find a place so perfectly suited for our needs. The owner and his wife were very friendly and accommodating, giving us 3 rooms in which we could fit in 2 extra people for only 5000W... More

This little guesthouse was absolutely adorable and perfectly located. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, and managed to find a room for us even though we had no reservation. They were incredibly accommodating, and were willing to store out luggage while we went out sight-seeing both before and after our stay. Our room was ondol-style, though a mattress was... More

Staying in this guesthouse is more an experience than a simple accomodation. All very traditional: common room is very cosy and warm, I loved it. Location is perfect, you can basically reach everything on foot. Near to the station, near to the bus terminal. My room was small and beautiful, with private bathroom. The surrounding area is lovely and very... More

It was nice to stay at a traditional Korean guesthouse. The location was great too. The room and the bathroom is very simple, so don't expect too much for the price you are paying. The common kitchen and living area is nice, with free wifi and a computer to use. The courtyard is nice too. Walking distance to many attractions,... More

I really enjoyed this guesthouse. It's very Korean and traditional. It's nothing fancy but is clean enough and lets you experience Korean living. Good kitchen and common room. Nice courtyard. We got a room with a bath for about 45,000 won which was good. There's a couple rooms that are cheaper. Would recommend to stay if looking for authentic. About... More

During a weekend, we only stayed one night in this magical place, enough to fall under its spell! Atmosphere of pure relaxation, owners very attentive and kind, all in a typical Korean house at 20m of a historic site. Probably the best value for money we have ever seen. Bravo and thank you!
