Benikea Ariul Hotel

📍 Gunsan · 3 stars · ★ 4.1 (345 reviews)

Benikea Ariul Hotel is a mid-budget chain hotel at the start of the Saemangeum Seawall. The words that recur most in reviews are 'friendly' and 'clean,' alongside remarks that the building is older but well kept.

Plenty of reviews use it as a base for driving around Seonyudo and the Gogunsan Islands, or for business near Saemangeum. Come expecting the mood of old-town Gunsan, though, and the surroundings can feel empty.

What guests like

Friendly service

Friendly owners and staff is the line repeated most across the reviews, and one guest was given an extra blanket for their child.
Well-kept cleanliness

Several reviews say the cleaning was faultless despite the building's age.
Spacious rooms

Reviews keep noting that both the room and the bathroom are spacious, and that three people sharing didn't feel cramped.
Free snack bar

In the second-floor common area you can help yourself to free bread, cereal, milk and instant noodles from 7 to 9 a.m.
Route to Seonyudo

Seonyudo is a 15-20 minute drive and old-town Gunsan 20 minutes away, a well-placed base for touring the Gogunsan Islands.
Quiet nights

With no busy district nearby, several reviews say it was a good place to rest undisturbed.

Good to know

Glass bathroom door

The bathroom wall and door are glass, so the inside shows through from the bed — several reviews say that felt awkward with family along.
Dated building

Reviews consistently note that the building is old and the room fittings are somewhat dated.
Getting to dinner

The area is an industrial complex, so few restaurants stay open into the evening; some reviewers drove into town or out to Bieung Port for dinner.

Bathroom

The tub, sink, toilet stall and shower stall are separate, and one review says three people could use it at once. Another soaked in a hot bath to wash off the day. Slow drainage does come up alongside, though.

Breakfast & dining

A simple snack bar is set up in the second-floor common area, open from 7 to 9 a.m. Reviews say the menu is small but has everything you need, and that being able to take it back to the room was handy.

Location & nearby

The Saemangeum Seawall, Saemangeum Fish Market and Bieung Port are close by for sea views or seafood. Seonyudo is a 15-20 minute drive and old-town Gunsan about 20, so with a car you can pair the Gogunsan Islands with the city in one day.

On the flip side, it can disappoint if you want a downtown buzz. A large convenience store and a few restaurants sit nearby, but reviews say few stay open late, and a vehicle pickup service can be arranged for a fee.

연식이 오래된 건물이라 사진과 동일한 방 느낌을 줍니다. 그렇지만 상당히 잘 관리되어 있어 깔끔합니다. 사장님도 친절하시고 매우 만족하는 숙소였습니다.

가성비 좋은 호텔 입니다. 아침 조식도 제공해주시고, 도보 가능거리에 이중섭거리도 있구요...비록 하루 묵었지만 좋았습니다. 단, 모기가 들어와 아이들이 고생 좀 했어요.

상품평에 깨끗하지않다고 나와있는데 깨끗해요. 위치가 공단이라 아무것도없어요. 밥은 시내에서드세요 비흥도비싸요 자차가있고 선유도가실분은 괜찮아요. 직원분들 친절해요.

시내에서는 멀지만 선유도에서 가까워서 예약했습니다. 숙소 방 크기도 둘이 사용하기에 적당하고 화장실도 욕조.세면대가 있고 변기부스, 샤워부스 3부분으로 구분되어 있어 넓습니다. 문제는 화장실벽이 유리로 되어있어서 침대에서도 보이는데 변기부스의 문은 잘 안닫히고 샤워부스문은 아예없는채로 있어서 사생활보호가 되지 않는점이 불편했습니다.
