That was my second stay at the World House. It's a simple place with super friendly staff always ready to help.. Available free breakfast with a choice of Korean style porridge breakfast or a more western type of breakfast.
Well located next to a bus terminal and right across a super market.

The facility was one of the cutest place I experienced. The place was operated and run by mother and daughter team. They were both very friendly and courteous. The hotel was nothing fancy nor state of the art place, but the deco and the atmosphere were excellent. Their breakfast options were also unique and healthy. Only problem was that they don't have an elevator, but the cuteness and the uniqueness and friendliness compensated for the lack of the elevator.

Nice place to stay

It was nicer than I expected. The hotel was very clean with modern taste. I stayed alone for 2 nights. The room was small but cozy. Simple breakfast was included. The bean porridge and cup noodles were also available with no charge. I needed a taxi. They kindly made a phone call and arranged a taxi service for me. A little bit of street noise at night, but it is not bad and I was able sleep well. I will go there again if I need a place to stay in that city.
