Boasting garden views, Dasomchae Hanok stay provides accommodation with balcony, around 4.8 km from Kimdaejung Convention Center. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The guest house looks exactly as it in the photo, a pretty traditional house with a cute little garden. The owner welcomed me friendly and introduced me good Gwangju food and restaurants (strongly recommend 떡갈비/Korean beef hamburg steak at 세송정/Saesongjeong, a local famous restaurant just 5 minutes walk from the guesthouse). The room is clean, tidy, and bright, with all basic facilities. Access to the guest house is very convenient about 15 minutes walk from the Songjeong KTX station and 10 minutes walk from the Subway Songjeong Park Station. Great accommodation, definitely recommend here for a comfortable rest in Gwangju. Thank you 사장님, best wishes to your family and cute daughter

    While it was located a bit further from the city center than expected, everything else was much better than my expectation. Room was clean, quiet, spacious, and had even a styler.
