    The rooms are not soundproof. I woke up with my neighboor. The owner gives you earplugs to prevent that. Regarding restaurants, if you want to test Mokpo's specialities and if you are alone, it might be hard to find a place that accept you. You can eat bibimbap alone but others want you to be at least 2.

    The room had just the right size for me. I could decide on its temperature. It had curtains. It was not too far from attractions.

    Well..it's a 8m2 room ;-) So it was fine for one night (before taking the ferry), but I wouldn't book it if I wanted to actually stay in Mokpo - as, for example, I wouldn't be able to open my luggage. Also, if the other guests are loud, you can hear them even with earplugs.

    Given the fact that it's a 8m2 room, it's as best as it could be : it's clean, well equipped, there is a kitchen for the guests to use, the host looked charming (although I saw her only very briefly).

    Great for very short stay (but not for those who are sensitive to noise)

    - Poor soundproof. It's like sharing rooms with everyone else in the house except that we can't see each other since there are walls. Earplugs are provided, but still I'd not recommend for people who can't stand noises (phone notification can be heard, footsteps, using of toilet etc...) - It's just me personally but I'm not so used to the pillow provided (it's too tall)

    - Location! Very close to Mokpo station, less than 3-5 minutes by walk? Also surrounded with restaurants, cafes, bakeries... Convenience store is also nearby. - Heating system works very well, hot water, almost everything needed is provided

    This was a repeat visit, a clear sign that I really meant the positive comments I wrote after my first stay! My initial impressions were totally confirmed and I would definitely encourage future guests to use this GH as a base for a longer exploration of an interesting town that grows on you - if you know where to look!

    A great welcome despite limited communication skills - on both sides! A bright, airy room whose cleanliness is enhanced by a deliberate, minimalistic approach to decoration. Only a 5mn walk to Mokpo main railway station and 1.5km to the International Passenger Ship Terminal. Incidentally, an easy, pleasant stroll there will take you through picturesque streets with quaint old houses.

    Slight caution: if you have heavy/bulky luggage, do note that you would need to lug them to the 3rd floor which is where the unit is located.

    Location is everything, right by the train station with buses to nearby Dongbu market & ferry port. Room is very clean with simple & minimal set up but it is more than adequate, love the futon/tatami bed. Host was friendly and welcoming.

    Comfortable, if a bit cramped.

    My single room was very private but not for the claustrophobic. It's basically a glorified closet, but the sleeping pad (not quite a mattress) was comfortable and if you're just looking for clean, quiet place to sleep, it fits the bill.

    This guesthouse is immaculately clean and is located near the main fish market and ferry terminal. It was also pretty quiet.

    I was confused about the payment. Booking.com asks for your credit card and says it'll charge you before you get there. But actually the guesthouse just secures the credit card in case of a cancellation and you pay upon arrival. Not a problem, just a heads up in case you have the same problem!

    This guesthouse was very clean; the room, shared spaces, and pillows and blanket. The location is superb, right by the station and a 20 min bus ride to the bus terminal. There's a water dispenser available and amenities in the bathroom.

    Nice place for a short stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Small Single Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I was just there one night with not many other guests there, which was fine. For a longer stay or if more guests were in, it might quickly feel a bit cramped. The room is very small, and the blind doesn't properly shut out the light (thankfully there was not too much light from the street). The shower is shared by other guests and is a traditional Korean-style shower, ie. limited space to hang your clothes and very difficult to put on your clean clothes without getting them damp.

    Very neat and clean. Friendly owner. Great location - 2-300m from the station, a range of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and an easy walk to Yudalsan, the main scenic spot of the city. Open kitchen area with a large table, fridge, washing machine. Single rooms are separated from shared rooms to prevent too much noise and communal areas only available till 10pm.

    Booked enough rooms (5 rooms for 10 people including 1 infant) for my family. However upon arrival, we were rudely questioned about the number of guests despite validly booking for our group. Also, washing machine facilities are not working so we were not able to wash our clothes during our stay.

    It was quiet and I don't think many other guests stayed at the guesthouse. Everything was on one floor an the common area was spacious and slick and tidy. The kitchen area and the table looked quite appealing. Room, bed, shower, bathroom all (worked first of all, but also) were cozy and clean. And it had a good atmosphere in my opnion. All that for a reasonable price and I am just all arround content.

    The futon was very comfortable and the room cosy but big enough for my luggage, very warm and calm. The kitchen and common space were both extremely clean and well furnished. The host was also very kind and helpful! It was a really good stay, though brief. I had to take the ferry in the morning and it was a short 20 minute walk away.

    Small, terrible communication of host, noise, no private facilities, low privacy, very expensive for the shared space. And few days before going, due to addition of member, I asked if i could cancel my reservation without being charged. The amazing hostess said sorry. And then she charged me for room, and cancelled my reservation and gave my room to someone else, without telling me!!! When I arrived, she gave me another room without bed... Saying Sry, I thought you were not coming.
