"Apparently, there are two guest houses named 88 Guest House in the Seoul Jongno area. However, there is only one 88 Guest House with an attached cafe/coffe house. 88 Guest House is located near Gyeongbok-gung Palace. The rooms are small, but very very quiet which is a huge plus for me. The owner of 88 Guest House is a very friendly and very kind person. He actually asked me why I had booked the more expensive room with two beds. The owner of 88 Guest House allowed me to store my very heavy...

What is a historic hotel like in Seoul?
A historic hotel gives guests the opportunity to stay in a place that’s been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Seoul typically preserve original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place’s cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Seoul have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Visitors can expect the amenities from a contemporary hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Seoul, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
