Where to Stay in Chungju
In Chungju, it is best to first decide whether to stay downtown or in the southern hot spring area.
If hot springs are your goal, Suanbo and Salmi-myeon are the right choices.
This article focuses on the Mungang Hot Spring area in Salmi-myeon.
Salmi-myeon Mungang
Salmi-myeon is located south of downtown Chungju.
Since it is not a bustling downtown, it suits a trip focused on resting and enjoying hot springs inside your accommodation at night.
It is part of the southern Chungju hot spring area, just like Suanbo Hot Spring.
Chungju Mungang Sulfur Hot Spring Hotel & Resort is a place featuring sulfur hot springs.
There are reviews saying the sulfur-scented hot spring was great.
There are reviews saying skin felt smooth after the hot spring.
Reviews say the rooms have hinoki cypress tubs.
There are reviews saying the public bath and sauna are clean and the bedding is neat.
Check-in is from 14:00, and check-out is before 12:00.
There is a parking lot on-site.
The accommodation is non-smoking with a designated smoking area.
Getting to Chungju
The KTX-Eum departing from Pangyo runs along the Jungbu Naeryuk Line, passing Chungju Station to Mungyeong.
When the Chungju~Mungyeong section opened in 11/2024, Salmi Station and Suanbo Oncheon Station were added.
It is about 1.7 km in a straight line from this accommodation to Salmi Station.
Trains on this section run only a few times a day, so check the timetable first and plan a taxi to the property.
If you come by car, you can park directly in the accommodation parking lot.
Things to Do Nearby
At nearby Suanbo Hot Spring, Chungju City manages the hot spring water centrally, so every establishment receives the same water.
Suanbo has Multang Park and a hot spring foot-bath path.
It pairs well with an itinerary of taking a hot spring bath and taking a walk around Suanbo.
What to Consider When Choosing
- If hot springs are the goal, stay south in the Salmi and Suanbo area rather than downtown.
- If you come by train, check the train times for Salmi Station and Suanbo Hot Spring Station first.
- If you want a room tub, check if the room includes a bathtub.
- Prices vary by date.
