Lighthouse Guesthouse

This guesthouse was very clean; the room, shared spaces, and pillows and blanket. The location is superb, right by the station and a 20 min bus ride to the bus terminal. There's a water dispenser available and amenities in the bathroom.

I was confused about the payment. Booking.com asks for your credit card and says it'll charge you before you get there. But actually the guesthouse just secures the credit card in case of a cancellation and you pay upon arrival. Not a problem, just a heads up in case you have the same problem!

Very neat and clean. Friendly owner. Great location - 2-300m from the station, a range of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and an easy walk to Yudalsan, the main scenic spot of the city. Open kitchen area with a large table, fridge, washing machine. Single rooms are separated from shared rooms to prevent too much noise and communal areas only available till 10pm.

I was just there one night with not many other guests there, which was fine. For a longer stay or if more guests were in, it might quickly feel a bit cramped. The room is very small, and the blind doesn't properly shut out the light (thankfully there was not too much light from the street). The shower is shared by other guests and is a traditional Korean-style shower, ie. limited space to hang your clothes and very difficult to put on your clean clothes without getting them damp.

The guesthouse is very conveniently located next to the train station. It is also in the heart of old Mokpo. There are many historical sites to visit, in addition to Yudalsan mountain!
