Sanbaksil Hotels from S$43

"Traditional but modern "

"Clean rooms. Very friendly owner. Bit painful on the back if you are not used to sleeping without a mattress but I guess that is part of the hanok experience. Toiletries and basic kitchen needs available. Limited transport and dining around the area. Cannot figure out the opening times of the restaurants as well. It says open in Google, Naver and signage on the doors, but is actually closed. Still happy with our stay though. Happy to experience what living in a hanok is like. Just make sure to organise transport and pre-plan all your activities if wanting to stay here as it is quite far from the Suncheon city center. "

"This hotel is very nice! Great beds, spacious rooms and good showers. The host at the restaurant was very accommodating and friendly and spoke enough English to answer our questions. However, don’t be misled by its description. It is not real close to a bus or train station. The bus station is over 40 minutes away and that’s by taxi. You need to have your own transportation to get to anything. There is literally not anything to do close by outside the hotel. We were going to use this as a hub to go places but that didn’t work at all. We would have spent a fortune on taxis so we left two days early. Cho, at the front desk was so helpful and accommodating. She called and arranged a taxi for us and helped us with other questions. You will definitely need a translator app like Papago which is what we had. Cho used it like a pro and helped us get a taxi that would take our luggage and us to the bus terminal. I would not recommend here unless you have a rental car. The hotel is great just not as a hub for traveling to different locations. "
