My stay at Inwoo Guesthouse was lovely overall, with charming aesthetics and great hosts, but there were a few downsides to consider. The room was cozy yet quite small, which made moving around a bit challenging. The bathroom ceiling was low, and some amenities could be improved, but the hosts were accommodating and helpful, making my experience enjoyable.

My experience at Inwoo Guesthouse was quite pleasant overall. I loved staying in a traditional Korean room, which was a unique and nice experience. The location is lovely and quiet, yet it's just a few minutes' walk from shops and restaurants. However, I did find it a bit challenging to locate the guesthouse initially, which could have been made easier with better instructions.

The Double Room was charming, though small. The floor heating was nice, but it only warmed the bed well; it can get quite cold in winter. I wish there had been a reading lamp and larger pillows for lounging. The room can also lack soundproofing.

I had a lovely stay at Inwoo Guesthouse, thanks to its great location and delicious breakfast. However, the room was quite small, and I experienced some discomfort with what I suspect were bed bugs. The hosts were helpful in addressing my concerns, even though the room didn't have options for relocation due to availability issues.
