    I would stay here again! I would just bring a yoga mat or sleeping bag for some extra cushion under the futon.

    The futons were very thin. I mean very thin.

    The gentleman who was downstairs when we checked it was very nice. The place was clean. The breakfast in the morning (toast, jelly, boiled eggs, mandarins) was very nice. The room was comfortably warm. We were there to hike Woraksan and this was a good location for it, it wasn't far to the park so we were able to take a taxi.

    The hotel is old and I think they didn't do any maintenance for a long time, but this also can be very charming 😉

    Very nice and friendly people. The water in the hotel comes from the hot spring, so you can enjoy a reviving bath in your own room. No need to go to the public spa. The bed was very comfortable. Beautiful mountainous area. Good for people who come on bikes 🚲 They have a free repair area for your bike, for when, for example you have a flat tyre. Also many options for storing your bike.

    The rooms are a bit dated and the bed is a bit too hard for my taste.

    A basic motel in a cute resort town. We stayed as we biked from Seoul to Busan and I would recommend it for the price. The staff is helpful and friendly. There is an option to do laundry for free and even basic (toast/eggs/coffee/tea) breakfast in the morning. The hotel's hot water is from the hot springs but I recommend a public bath literally next door - from t desk gives a coupon for admission (4000 won vs 7000won without it).

    That i missed the stamp because I couldn't find the page - resolved! The steep bicycle climb afterwards ;)

    Nice common room. Illuminated streets at nighttime. Close locales to convenience stores. Owner had a fairly good fix it yourself section for bicycles and a sturdy folding repair stand. Good breakfast with oat/nut cereal. Brand New certification stamp booth on entry into town

    This is just the cutest place! We were met with a warm welcome. The room was clean and cozy and the common area was designed with love. Free coffee and very cheap instant meals. It is a great place for cyclists, since they own a lot of tools which you can use for free. You even get a discount for the bathhouse next door. One evening we had a drink with the owner and his family, they were so hospitable. Many restaurants and shops in walking distance.

    Suanbo Saipan Hotel is very cosy. The room was quite big with separate bathroom. You can have free tea and coffee all day. Although it's maybe not easy to find in the beginning, in fact it's really well located. There is a sauna a few metres from hotel. There're restaurants, coffee shop, GS25 nearby. Every summer evening you can go to a concert in open space near the three waterfalls. If you want to admire light illuminations on the bridge, you just need to go about 20 metres from hotel. The water in the hotel comes also from hot springs. I really recommend this place if you need to relax and take rest.

    beds are very firm, but typical for hotels along the trip.

    Our group was on a bike trip and this hotel was very “bike friendly”, including onsite repair shop and bike storage lockers. very scenic location and right across the street from a hot springs bath. manager was very friendly and helpful.
