Reviews should not just be based on the friendliness of the owners. They are very helpful, but this should not be a reason to overlook the major issues related to this 'hotel?' and location.
To start the rooms are very uniquely decorated, but are not very functional or clean. For example they have massive tvs, but you can not see the tv from the bed due to hanging decor and small sofa pointing in wrong direction. There is also a lot of wasted space that can be used better. The room was not clean, stains on the sheets, weird stains and marks in the bathroom and kitchen area. Dirt in the kitchen cupboards. The bathroom is a full wet room which cause water to flow everywhere including around the toilet. The bed is very tough like sleeping on a floor, not a comfortable sleep for the challenging day ahead.
The location is in the middle of nowhere, even our taxi driver laughed when we gave him the directions from the KTX station. Its a 15 minute walk to the main road to catch the relevant buses, but you have no bus timetable, so be careful not to miss the late bus. The area in general is remote and difficult to navigate. Its difficult to stay in this area if you don't have a car, its not really enjoyable by foot to get around to the sights.
The local restaurants are all traditional Korean not much variety.
We decided to make a break and leave early in the morning for the next KTX.
We also did not get the room we booked.
READ THE REVIEWS VERY CAREFULLY AND READ BETWEEN THE LINES.
