The Mumum

This is an old Korean-style, and it will ne a truly memorable experience. Instead of Western-style elevated beds, guests sleep on traditional layered floor pads over a warm heated floor—comfortable, cozy, and an authentic touch of Korean culture. The morning Korean-style breakfast should include fresh fruit, rice cakes, and boiled eggs. It was simple but delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, a unique and unforgettable stay that I would gladly recommend to anyone looking to experience traditional Korean living.

Had such a lovely stay! The hosts were warm and welcoming, and the healthy breakfast each morning was a real treat. The neighborhood is beautiful and easy to explore, and it was quiet at night—perfect for a good sleep. They really make you feel at home!

Beautiful old hanok, very welcoming owners who spoke almost no English but were able to convey their meaning. There is no English signage on the gateway to the courtyard but Googlemaps led me there easily. I was able to leave my bag in advance of check in and the owner provided a map of Jeonju and helpfully circled points of interest. Room was clean and comfy with the underfloor heating. Ensuite wetroom. Communal room available to guests with free tea/coffee. Be aware walls are very thin and you can hear people talking quietly in adjoining rooms. Breakfast was served to my room on a tray with lots of lovely fresh fruit, rice cakes etc. When I checked out, I was able to leave my bag again to pick up later, when I did the enthusiastic female owner even gave me a hug goodbye. Very pleasant stay. Great location in the heart of the old town although it is a few blocks to walk from the bus stop.

Very authentic and beautiful place to stay in Jeonju.
