보기보다 훨 좋은곳...
너무나 가족적인 따뜻한 분위기에 감동 받고 갑니다. 처음엔 인테리어가 시골 친척집 놀러온 느낌이였는데 있으면 있을수록 모든게 편하게 갖추어져 있었습니다. 군산 시내에서 조금 거리가 있지만 변산반도 여행을 같이할 계획이라면 좋은 로케이션입니다. 특히 조식이 너무 좋았고 석식도 미리 주문하면 (비용발생) 가능하고 맛이 훌륭했습니다. 모든 커피랑 생수를 공짜로 먹을수 있고 모든 스태프 친절하며 기분 좋고 인심 좋은 호텔이였습니다. 미군 부대 일하고 있는 외국인 장기 투숙객과 골프장 이용하는 손님 여행 손님들이 투숙하는 재미난 조합의 손님들이 있고 장기투숙객이 하고싶은 곳입니다. 겉만 보고 판단하지 마세요. 좋은 곳입니다.

We truly enjoyed out stay at the Western hotel. Location was great while visiting our son on Gunsan base. The hotel was Clean/Comfort but can use some updates. Hu/family was always helpful in suggesting great tourist sites/shopping. Breakfast was filling and hit the spot each morning! An amazing stay, thank you!!

A GREAT PLACE TO STAY FOR A SHORT OR EXTENDED TRIP
Can't ask for a better place to stay when in Kunsan. Off the beaten path, close to Kunsan AB and with many amenities that we used to have accessible to us in days past, meals provided by the hotel staff, which themselves are delicious and varied. Laundry is done as well daily. Picked up in the morning and available by dinner time that same day. The rooms are clean, spacious with more than enough storage for clothes and luggage. The lounge has both a pool table and a billiards table along with a variety of other entertainment selections. The best part is the staff. Hu, as the manager freely provides assistance and is very eager to ensure the stay is of the highest quality. The rest of the family and staff go out of there way to provide for an enjoyable stay, clean rooms, and awesome meals nightly and twice daily on weekends. Just cant ask for a better place if your traveling through Kunsan or coming for business and working on the base.

Breakfast, AND laundry AND dinner...I've never felt so taken care of. Massage chair and pool table downstairs. We really enjoyed our stay. Felt like home, among family. It's not the most convenient for downtown Gunsan, but for getting to the airport or base, it's perfect. Anyway I really enjoyed the morning jogs in the quiet streets. Highly recommended.

Staff helped us to communicate with cab drivers and helped with bus schedules. English speaking person on staff. We felt at home right away! Would definitely recommend Western Hotel!

Definitely the place to stay in Gunsan!
I usually don't take the time to write reviews, but my stay at Western Hotel was so pleasant, that I had to share. Everyone in this family owned hotel is friendly and does everything so that the guests feel at home. The rooms are spacious and clean with plenty of amenities. Base lodging can't compare to professional attitude and welcoming atmosphere that Western Hotel offers. Keep up the great work!

Great place stay when in Kunsan
I had stayed at Wstern under prior management and was a bit concerned if service would suffer. I was glad to find out that it didn't and new ownership/management continues tradition of outstanding service. For the price, no better accommodations available for the value. Laundry and dinner service are excellent and the entire staff was exceptional.

Best of the Best
Simply excellent. As a Westerner traveling to South Korea for the first time, they went to great length to take care of me. Whether it was calling a taxi and making sure that the taxi knew exactly where to take me, or all the delicious food that was served, their hospitality is unmatched. If I ever return to Gunsan, I will be staying with them again at the Western Hotel.

Convenient to base
I needed a room for one night prior to contracting work on the local base. Western Hotel is walking distance. Checking in was a breeze. The owner is super friendly and speaks intermediate-level English. The room was cozy, once I got the heat setting worked out on Korean remote figured out. The breakfast was delicious with a genuine variety. I would stay at Western Hotel again with anticipation. One caveat for travelers coming by taxi: There's a Best Western not too far away from Western Hotel. I can speak enough Korean to get by, but the taxi driver thought "Western" was "Best Western" and brought me to the wrong hotel. Taxi travelers should be careful to indicate Western Hotel near the base.

Superior Value
This was not a luxury hotel, but we knew that going in. For the price it was an exceptional value. The accommodations were comfortable and pleasant. The service was outstanding. The owners were the best! They were very attentive to our needs, extremely friendly and helpful, and very accommodating. Oh--and the breakfast was delicious! Normally we try out different hotels, but we will stay at this one each time we need to stay at Gunsan.

Big on Hospitality
It is a challenge to review a hotel that is outside of your own cultural norms. However, in the case of the Western Hotel, this made the experience all the more charming. The hotel is off the beaten path in Gunsan - right on the outskirts of the military base. Since I was visiting a family member there, it was perfect for me. The couple who own and run the hotel were delightful. I did make my reservation online about 6 months in advance. They had forgotten about me so I was a bit concerned upon arrival to not be expected, but there were rooms available. If you plan that far in advance, I'd encourage you to check in to confirm. The couple made up for it in their kindness and hospitality. What a wonderful experience! The room was cozy but very comfortable. Looks just like the pictures - made me smile. I would highly recommend staying at the Western simply to enjoy the experience of this delightful Korean hotel and the wonderful couple who live there. I arrived via the Gunsan city bus from the Incheon International Airport (a 3 1/2 hour, comfortable ride), and then taking a taxi (20 minutes) from the bus terminal to the Western Hotel "by the base."

Very nice B&B type hotel, very close to Kunsan AB
This is a family run, very nice little hotel. More like a B&B. Mr and Mrs Oh are very helpful and friendly. Mrs. Oh cooks dinner every night during the week for guests and breakfast on the weekends. We stayed here for 5 nights while visiting our son who's stationed at Kunsan Air Force Base. We could walk to one of the 2 entry gates in less than 10 minutes. Every room has a TV and PC, air conditioning, refrigerator (which is stocked with bottled water every day) & microwave. There are 2 pool tables in the lounge area. It's a very nice hotel where you're made to feel at home.
