Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window ends at 23:00 — You'll need to arrive between 15:00 and 23:00 unless you've arranged otherwise—some guests noted staff helped with late arrivals, but plan ahead.
  • No on-site parking — Those driving into Seoul will need to find public parking; the property doesn't list any.
  • No pets allowed — The guesthouse is strictly pet-free, so you'll need other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Room sizes vary — Some room types, like the Without Window Single, are compact—reviews praise spaciousness in some rooms, but the no-window options are inherently smaller.
