Affordable Guest House in Korea

When I made a plan to Korea, the most hard part is to search where we should stay. Finally, I get the information about Backpackers Inside. This place just suit us. We decide to stay at this guest house and choose Deluxe 4-bed since we are in a group of 4. This room have 4 bed, private bathroom, private kitchen, computer complete with free internet access, television, air-conditioner and washing machine. This place not the cheapest guest house, but for us, the price was very affordable with all the facilities we get. We pay KRW 665,000.00 for 8 days 7 nights.

Receptionist desk. The receptionist here very nice and help us with the money since I was very confuse to count the money to pay the room charges. Thanks Jiyeon Onnie because you help us^^

Common living room and kitchen at the main building

Bathroom. Since we stayed at private room, we have our own bathroom. If you choose to stay at hostel in the main building, you need to share the bathroom.

Kitchen. For me, this is the important facilities for us because it really hard to find halal food in Seoul. So, we can cook by ourselves and of course, we can save money for food.

Double-decker bed for us. But I prefer to sleep on the floor because the floor have floor heating system. Its really nice to sleep on the floor at the cold night.

Below the price of the room and their discount policies. We stayed at this guest house for 8 days 7 nights, so we get 5% discount.
