Although the hotel is clearly somewhat rundown, it is still a very good option for those visiting Jeonju, especially if the main interest is visiting Hanok Village or the more important historical points in the city. Rooms and hallways are kept very clean. Floors are heated. Each room has a small refrigerator. However, microwave use is only available in the lobby. The lobby decor is a ittle quirky and interesting. Unfortunately, it is also incredibly cold in winter. My room had 2 blown out lightbulbs, making it rather dim but still workable. The hotel sits in a large, busy shopping area. If your room faces the street, I suspect it can be loud if the window is open. It is very close to a post office. Handy if you bought too much stuff and have overweight luggage. Taxis regularly pass close to the hotel. It's possible to walk to Hanok Village, the only extant city gate, the Catholic Cathedral and other historic sites (takes about 15 minutes). Staff are friendly and helpful, but they have little english vocabulary, be prepared to make use of your favorite translating software on your phone.
