Hostel Information:



Come stay with us! We're the cheapest and the best. Best Location, Best Atmosphere, Friendliest Staff, Lots Of Free Services...And The Best Price!

Wind Road &amp, Flower Guest-house is located in the center of Seoul and it was established to offer high-quality service with inexpensive prices to foreign tourists visiting Korea.

Wind Road &amp, Flower Guest-house is a guesthouse unlike any other in Korea. Centrally located one block from the gates of Sungkyunkwan University, it is also close to Daehangno Road, where there are festivals going on all the time. The area has an extremely pleasant, low-key, small town atmosphere. It teams with student life, and there are many inexpensive restaurants. It is also just around the corner from Changgyeonggung and Gyeongbokgung Palaces. Buses and subways to all parts of the city are close by.



We have many different room types. Even if you don't make a reservation, you can phone in advance, and we will tell you what is available.



Park, the co-owner, is a world traveler. He has been to China, Tibet, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, India, Europe and so on. He has created a unique, relaxed atmosphere, now that he has his own guest house. It actually is a house and is not a high-rise. The atmosphere is small, friendly and relaxed, with a comfortable lounge area and plenty of conversation with his Korean friends who drop by sometimes. Kitchen and laundry facilities plus Internet services are available. You can also get excellent advice about what to do, see, where to go for tours, the hottest night spots or the best places for hiking and camping. Park has also studied oriental philosophy and can direct you to where there are study groups and meditation facilities.



Another absolutely unique service Wind Road &amp, Flower offers is a network of friends who want to practice their English and are available for free accompaniment around the city. Just email a few days ahead of time so they can arrange their schedules.
