One of the most memorable stays we've ever had — and it's all thanks to our incredible host. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a warmth and generosity that felt so genuinely Korean — the kind of heartfelt hospitality that you read about but rarely experience firsthand. Our host went above and beyond in every possible way, always making sure we felt comfortable, cared for, and at home. The hotel itself was excellent — clean, well-appointed, and maintained to a great standard. But the location is what truly sets it apart. We were just a short walk from a breathtaking temple, surrounded by beautiful nature, and with wonderful local restaurants right on the doorstep. Everything you could want was within easy reach. We will absolutely be back. Highest possible recommendation – a truly special place made even more special by the person running it.

“가성비 최고, 위치 최고 호텔:”

가성비 최고, 위치 최고 호텔: Jirisan Sunlight hotel is one of the best hotels we ever stayed. Here is why. 1. Location: very conveniently located. Easy access to many places. 10 minutes to bus terminal, 20 minutes to the train station by driving. You can take bus to those places easy. Bus stop to Sungsamjae (that’s where you start Nogodan peak) is also close by. one mile to Hwaeomsa temple. Walkway to Hwaeomsa is covered mostly with deck along the creek. Very pleasant walk anytime of the day. 2. Hotel is very clean and quiet. They must have remodeled recently. 3. Hotel owner/operator is friendly and eager to help you with anything. 4. Lots of good restaurants are only steps away. They even serve breakfast which is quite unusual in Korea. We had best fried chicken from 또래오래 restaurant across the street. I always believed in ‘you get what you pay for’ but that does not apply to this hotel. You get a lot more than what you pay for.

The emplacement is beautiful and the man working at the counter was so nice to us. He helped us a lot. Thanks again !

“Worth a stay if in the area”

Very nice owner. Super friendly and hospitable. Hotel was clean and comfortable. No complaints

Great location. Helpful staff. Beautiful view from the porch.

“Friendly staff, super clean place”

The host was great and very friendly. We came at night very late and he offered some ramen.

“Great location at edge of national park”

Great location for getting to Hwaeomsa and Jirisan NP. Arrived quite late but key with instructions was left clearly by manager so we could easily get into our room. Room warm and clean with good views up the valley. Plenty of restaurants and a convenience store just down the valley for supplies.

“We have enjoyed our stay thoroughly,”

The hotel is very comfortable and in a great position but most of all, our host has been the most helpful and generous hotel manager that could we could have hoped for - thank you very much!

Welcoming host and beautiful room

“Super pleasant. Boss was really nice and interactive whenever he is not having to do check in or serve coffee.”

Great views around. Quiet.

The staff is really nice. Can't be located any better if you want to visit Hwaeomsa temple or hike to nogodan peak at Jirisan. The rooms are very spacious, bed is big and the bathroom is very nice. You have several restaurants right next to it, the bus stop is 2min away, and if you walk 5-10min down the road a 7eleven
