Analysis

Key Strengths

Former Prison Remodel

The 19th-century actual prison building has been reborn as accommodation space, creating a unique historical atmosphere

Reasonable Walking Distance

Located approximately 510m from public transport hubs, making it a manageable distance for travelers with luggage

Unexpected Convenience Services

Despite being an unusual accommodation, room service is available, allowing for in-room dining

Practical Bedding Provided

Linen service is included without the additional cost for extra bedding, which is common in small Nordic accommodations

Points to Note

Compact and Enclosed Rooms

Designed based on actual detention facilities, the rooms have less openness and smaller windows compared to standard hotels

Value for Money Controversy

The price of around 190,000 KRW (approx. $131 USD) per night may feel expensive given the simple hardware and limited amenities within the rooms

Characteristics of an Old Building

Due to the nature of the old stone building, the placement of electrical outlets in the rooms may be inconvenient, or communication interference may occur due to thick walls
