MUJU in GuestHouse - Hostel

MUJU in GuestHouse is a small hostel right at the entrance to Deogyusan National Park. It is the sort of place you use as an overnight base with the mountain and the valley on your doorstep, which makes it handy for both winter skiing and summer days in the stream.

The lines that show up most often in reviews are that the rooms are warm and that the owner is kind. Some disappointment about the common areas outside the rooms comes up too, so it suits a trip where you rest in the room and play outdoors.

What guests like

• Warm rooms

  Reviews saying the rooms were small but warm, cozy and clean, repeat no matter the season.

• Friendly service

  Comments about the kind owner and staff appear evenly across both Korean and English reviews.

• At the entrance to Deogyusan

  Deogyusan National Park is 0.1km away, so you can string a hike and a ski day together with very little travel in between.

• Free breakfast

  A simple breakfast is served free every morning from 08:00 to 09:00, and some reviews say toast, eggs, and cereal were plenty.

• Mountain-view terrace

  The rooms have mountain views and there is a terrace and a garden, and reviews praised the autumn scenery as the maples and ginkgo trees turn color.

• Free Self-Parking

  Free self-parking on site makes it easy to drive between Deogyusan and downtown Muju.

Good to know

• Basement common area

  Several reviews say the basement space where breakfast is served was damp and smelled musty, so it is best to keep your expectations for breakfast low.

• Small rooms

  Reviews repeatedly call the rooms small, and one notes that the family room has only bunk beds, making it hard for a family of five to gather together.

• Slippery floors

  A few reviews mention floors that felt slippery or had a filmy buildup, so it is worth taking care as you move around.

Recommended for

• A base for a Muju ski trip
• A night before hiking Deogyusan
• Summer swimming in the valley stream

Explore the property

Rooms split into twins and doubles, ondol-style traditional rooms where you lay out floor mattresses, and family rooms with bunk beds. They are not large, but many reviews say the heating works well and it was a good place to thaw out after a winter ski day, and most add that the bedding and the rooms themselves were clean.

Bathrooms come with a shower, free toiletries, and a hairdryer, and towels are provided. It covers what you need to wash off the dirt and water after a hike or a day in the stream.

The room windows and the terrace all face the mountain, so the morning air feels different here. Reviews note the many maple and ginkgo trees around, which should look lovely in autumn, and in summer you can step straight out to the valley stream behind.

There is a barbecue grill, laundry facilities, and a business center, plus a coffee shop and a bar lounge. Some reviews liked the cafe's drinks and service while others found the basement kitchen area poorly kept, so it is wiser to expect the common areas to be modest.

Key information

Location & nearby

Deogyusan National Park is 0.1km away, so it is effectively right at the park entrance, with the Deogyusan gondola 6.8km away and the Muju ski slopes 7km away. It is a spot whose use changes with the season: skiing in winter, the valley in summer, hiking in autumn.

A valley stream runs right behind the guesthouse, and several reviews say it was great for splashing about, with a convenience store nearby making last-minute purchases easy. One caveat: reviews say the bus runs only a few times a day, so if you are going without a car, check the timetable in advance.
