This guest house is located in a residential area of Seoul, around 10 minutes' drive from K-beauty shopping. The Yongsan-Gu district, where the hotel sits, grants access to cultural attractions like War Memorial of Korea, which is a 13-minute walk away.

Impressions
Oh my dear fellow travelers, let me tell you that you simply can't visit Seoul without checking into the Photo Park Guesthouse! This charming little hotel, which I discovered on my recent trip to the city with my group of friends, is an absolute gem that we had the pleasure of experiencing. I recommend visiting the Photo Park Guesthouse during the warmer months of the year, so you can take full advantage of the beautiful outdoor dining area and picnic tables. The hotel also has sun loungers and beach umbrellas for those who wish to bask in the glorious South Korean sun.
But don't get too caught up in the outdoor attractions as the guesthouse also has a plethora of impressive indoor facilities! The 24-hour reception and security service made us feel safe and secure throughout the entire stay. The flat-screen TV and electric kettle were a lovely addition to our bedroom and provided the perfect setting for movie nights in between the busy itinerary. For those who like to shuffle amongst their stuff, the luggage storage and locker room were perfect! We could roam around Seoul on the day of our check-out, without lugging our bags around. You can also enjoy a hassle-free check-in and check-out process as the hotel provides express and VIP check-in and check-out services.
Lastly, the Photo Park Guesthouse offered us paid shuttle services which made getting around Seoul incredibly convenient. On the rare occasion we needed clean clothes, the laundry services provided by the hotel saved us from fully adopting the spirit of the local Starcraft players. Just remember there are no pets allowed, so be sure to leave your furry friends at home. All in all, this cozy and idyllic hotel was one of the many highlights of our South Korean trip, one which we will undoubtedly visit again in the near future.
