Welcome to Eoryeondang Guesthouse, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Jung-gu, Ulsan City. Built and operated by Jung-gu Office, this charming hanok-style guesthouse offers a unique opportunity to experience traditional Korean culture and hospitality.
Named after the Eoryeoncheon Stream, which translates to “house abounding with beautiful words,” Eoryeondang Guesthouse is a two-story hanok building constructed with sturdy granite materials. As you step through the entrance, you’ll be greeted by a solid and majestic atmosphere, with intricately designed staircases, fences, and external pillars.
One of the highlights of Eoryeondang is its serene surroundings. Adjacent to the guesthouse is the Sanjeonsaem Spring, a tranquil garden that was once a source of drinking water for the house. This enchanting spot, discovered over 400 years ago, now serves as a picturesque backdrop for your stay.
Eoryeondang boasts seven cozy guestrooms, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and convenience. The three rooms equipped with a sink offer a touch of practicality, while the remaining three rooms without a sink maintain the authentic charm of traditional Korean accommodations. For larger groups or families, the spacious Eoryeonjae room is the perfect choice, accommodating up to six people.
Each room at Eoryeondang is equipped with modern amenities including a private bathroom, TV, air-conditioner, refrigerator, and Wi-Fi.
