We ended up switching to this hotel after the one that we originally booked (Crystal Hotel) gave us a room that reeked of cigarettes and didn't have any other rooms we could switch to. I was nervous about 9 Boutique Hotel because it is quite cheap (I think we paid 44,000 won/night) but it was actually delightful! The front desk staff were friendly and helpful: they let us leave our luggage at the front in the morning before checking in, helped us arrange a taxi to the airport (about 45,000 won - pretty cheap), and answered all the questions they could during our stay. The free breakfast (served between 8am-9am) is quite good! The common area of the hotel is nicely furnished and feels relaxing. The staff allowed us to hang out there to get our bearings before we even checked in later that day. It's pretty close to several good restaurants, as well as the Chonjiyeon Waterfall. The room was clean, spacious, and had great blackout drapes at night. The bed was firm but comfortable. Overall, feel lucky to have found this place!
