Gakwonsa Temple

10/10 hotel, highly recommend. Check in was amazing via the kiosk machine (I hope other hotels do this) it was easy, quick & after a long flight it was nice to just get in & up to the room in less then a minute. Place was very easy to find & I liked that it was in a quiet alley right next to the street food markets. Hotel room is exactly like the photos, very clean & welcoming. I loved the common area, very nice touch. The cleaning staff were lovely, we saw them every day cleaning & the place was immaculate. We loved everything about this hotel. Be mindful though if you are asthmatic like we are, there are a lot of smokers outside, the hotel staff have signs everywhere that say no smoking but sadly people still do so be mindful when walking to/from hotel of all the cigarette smoke. Besides that, hotel is a 10/10 from us and we will definitely be back!

very convinient for public transportation. Quiet and many restaurants in the buliding. Staffs are very kind and trusteed.

This hotel was good but I'm not sure I would come back. We had a room that was in the attached building. There was one window but barely had sunlight, the lights were also very dim even in the bathroom. The room has definitely seen some use and I noticed some damage or weird stains in the bathroom. Our travels included moving a lot of luggage so we really liked the space and storage but compared to other lodging in Korea, we would choose the others first. The staff were very friendly and the location is walking distance to some really hip stores like Gentle Monster and we did not get a chance to eat nearby. I would recommend if you enjoy moodier lighting, traveling a bit lighter, and perhaps alone.
