Suwon Hostel

Suwon


More of a government hotel than a hostel, this place offers exceptional value for money with large, western-style or ondol (traditional, sleep-on-a-floor-mattress) rooms with retro furnishings. The on-site education centre is part of Suwon Cultural Foundation. Note the 'no alcohol' policy.
