Staying at Sohyundang Guesthouse had its ups and downs. The traditional Hanok style was charming, and the room's Korean breakfast was good. However, I faced some challenges, like the small bathroom layout and the lack of a friendly atmosphere from the staff at times.

The Triple Room with Private Bathroom had a nice layout, but the bathroom design meant everything got wet when showering. The size was decent for my group, but I would have appreciated a kettle and some tea in the room.

Breakfast was served in the room and included traditional Korean dishes like rice, kimchi, and meat soup, which I enjoyed. However, they weren't flexible with dietary preferences.

The hotel is a classic Hanok; however, I noticed some clutter in the garden area and a lack of outdoor seating. The bathroom could be improved as water could pool on the floor.

My stay at Sohyundang Guesthouse was pretty decent overall. The room was clean and I loved the floor heating during the chilly nights. However, the bathroom situation was a bit awkward since the toilet and shower were together, making things a bit messy. Plus, getting around with my luggage was no fun due to the steep steps and narrow space.
