Cheong Un Gak

Cheong Un Gak Overview

You know what surprised me most about Cheong Un Gak? For a 3-star place, it honestly punches way above its weight class. I mean, when you see that 8.8 rating, you might think it’s inflated – but after staying there, I get it completely.

The moment I walked into the lobby, there was this immediate sense of calm that’s hard to describe. It’s not fancy in an over-the-top way, but everything feels thoughtfully chosen. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day (which, let’s be honest, doesn’t happen everywhere), and they have this genuine warmth that makes you feel like you’re staying with people who care about your experience. The check-in was smooth – no waiting around while they fumble with the system or anything like that. What really struck me was how quiet the place stays, even when it’s busy. I’m usually pretty sensitive to noise, but I slept better here than I have in some much pricier hotels.

The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable without trying too hard to impress. There’s something refreshing about a place that focuses on getting the basics absolutely right rather than loading you up with unnecessary amenities you’ll never use. The beds are actually comfortable (you’d be amazed how many places mess this up), and the bathrooms are spotless with decent water pressure – honestly, that’s half the battle right there. I also appreciated the little touches, like having enough outlets near the bed and blackout curtains that actually block light. The housekeeping staff clearly takes pride in their work too; everything was consistently well-maintained throughout my stay. What really sold me on this place was watching how they handle the small stuff – when I mentioned the air conditioning was a bit too cold, they adjusted it within the hour without making a big production out of it. That kind of responsiveness is rare, especially at this price point. If you’re looking for somewhere that delivers solid comfort without the pretense or the inflated rates, Cheong Un Gak is honestly one of those hidden gems that makes you feel smart for finding it.

• Karen from United Kingdom (9/10)

  I can’t stress enough how much we loved staying here, it felt like home immediately. The apartment was immaculate, the fridge was stocked with cold water (it was HOT outside!), the air conditioning was superb, the beds were comfortable (and having a room each was such a treat), there was every amenity we needed, we loved the walk from the bus stop/subway each day, especially when we discovered the side street of vendors and market stalls, the apartment and area were so lovely to be in. We honestly didn’t want to leave, and if I’m lucky enough to come back to Korea I will book this again.
