Hwaseong Guesthouse

The location is so good that we could walk to many spots around. I love Suwon and want to come back soon. I booked a bed in dorm room for me and my little son. The ower upgrade to bigger bed without paying extra. I have been using hostel more than one year ( normally other hostel don't accept kids in dorm room, except one in Osaka ). There is kitchen/ free water/ free coffee. It's not so new place but it's very cosy. The owner seemed not so smiley but I can see this is Korean culture. He is nice to give to my son some gifts also. There is a Japanese restaurant in the first floor very good. Should try 🤗 There is a local market nearby. Good chicken restaurants and 7-11.

Very well situated, 5 minutes walking from the palace and the south gate There are 4 beds in the room, big windows one the whole wall facing the streets (3 layers : transparent, opaque, and with an insect net, you can choose which one you want), and big curtains to block the light. There are many electricity outlets next to the bed, and I really like the heating system connecting to a small blanket that goes under you (be careful it does not go off automatically after some time ! If you don’t stop it will continue to be warm, fire hazard ? I don’t think it’s hot enough for this but we never know !) The bathroom is more or less clean, and big bottles of body liquid soap, shampoo and conditionner are available in each shower (2 showers for girl’s section). There is also a fridge, and a kitchen with appliances to cook, and a machine for cold and hot water.

It's really spacious (kitchen and living room). The owner was cute and receptive. I discovered later that you can use washing machine and dryer for few won, a good point. It's near transports and attractions (fortress, park, and markets). After the chicken street, I decided to follow the river, and I was amazed to discover the Gwanggyo Reservoir with the sunset. I recommend this guesthouse, you can do everything on foot.

The guesthouse is very well located to explore the fortress, and it has an authentic feeling (friendly owner who cares a lot about doing this). Next to the location, the price is very low and makes it a great option for backpackers. It is not a luxury place but it has all the basics (bed, space, kitchen, travel maps and other guests...). The owner also offers a small pack of noodles which can be handy when you arrive late, or need to leave early.

very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, really well priced, perfect location right next to the hwaesong fortress, lovely host Choi, very kind and accommodating. you even get a little ramen bowl as a check in gift
