South Korea - Beewon Guesthouse Review

My stay in Beewon Guesthouse was okay.
I like the location of the guesthouse which is convenient.
It is about 5mins to 10mins walk to Auguk Station and Jongno-3-ga Station from the guesthouse.





And it is also convenient to travel to Myeong-dong and other area which are just few stations away.
Additionally if you have read my previous posts, you can also see that the guesthouse is also near to some nice cafes which my girls and I had our breakfast.

Other than the first night that we encountered a bad experience with them, the other days that we stayed in were fine..
If you are a cat lover, you might love this place too because there are many cats and kittens living around the area.






For your information, we stayed in a Triple room that caters for 3 adults at 60,000 KRW which I feel its very affordable.
Its like about $20+ per night per pax.
The room has 2 single bed and a futon mat, and bathroom for ourselves which you do not need to share with strangers.
Actually our room was rather old and small but still cozy for the 3 of us..
I read that it has renovated, so I hope it's better to accommodate now..

FYI, here is the website for the guesthouse: http://www.beewonguesthouse.com/en/


Haha "unlike" cause we wasn't happy that period of time..

So you want to know my grandmother story of the bad experience is as below:

On the day we moved from Sokcho to Seoul, due to the traffic jam and its our first time there so the place is unfamiliar to us so we had to find the Guesthouse, we reached Beewon Guesthouse at about 11pm.
We got to know from the Reception Guy named "S" that our room was given to other people.
"S" thought that we wouldn't be staying for that night because it was very late.
We got really angry and find it's ridiculous that such a thing happened to us because from previous travelling experience we didn't such crap service.
So we got into a big hoo-ha and wanted to cancel our stay there and demand for refund but he refused even if we called police (the police part is added by him, we didn't said anything about police).
At first, "S" suggested that we should take the dormitory for a day, but after checking the dormitory, we refused.
He tried to called other guesthouse if they can give us a room but none accepted our answered the call.
So we said that we go out and find a place of our own to stay.
After finding a motel, we came back telling him we wanted to cancel but he said he got a room for us to stay for a day there..
After discussing, we decided to give in.
And we got to stay for a night in another guesthouse.
So the next morning, 2 guys came and picked us and our heavy luggages back to Beewon Guesthouse.
And these is my grandmother story..

Actually we didn't talk to "S" until the last day when he helped us to arrange for cab back to the airport.
So I'm not sure.. anyway maybe he felt that we are troublesome customer but it was their wrong in the first place..
FYI, I did email to inform that we will reached the guesthouse late night..
Anyway, let bygones be bygones..
I will find a better place to stay in in future.. =)
